I didn't really like the sailing or the art style, I felt the dungeons didn't live up to the high standard I expect from the series, and the Triforce shard fetch quest felt like such a maddening grind that I ended up just giving up.

 

That's cos I'm just too adorable and sexy to dislike. ;)

Those could definitely be considered flaws based on your general preferences as a gamer.  Personally, I never got far in WW but loved WWHD cause it streamlined a lot of those issues.

However, I think that for all the similarities, BotW seems to avoid many of those weaknesses.  The sheer number of Shrines and other landmarks we can see now looks to mitigate the emptiness, enemy camps look to be more frequent than the enemies in WW, etc.  Dungeon design, we'll have to wait and see but the big Shrines look pretty sweet so far so I think we could be in for some great dungeons.  So I think BotW will dodge most of those flaws.

Oh I agree, from what we've seen so far, I expect I will love Breath of the Wild, and it doesn't look like it will have any of the issues that troubled me in Wind Waker.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if the final game lives up to the teaser material, Breath of the Wild could surpass Ocarina of Time to become the best Zelda game of all time in my opinion, and the best game Nintendo have produced since Super Mario Galaxy in 2007.
