I'm nicely surprised by how good the game is. I barely started playing, and am now doing the second dungeon (Earth). I was worried about the controls at first, but after playing for a while, I like them. It's still not 100% responsive/accurate all the time, but it is more fun than with the "classic" controls.

I'm also delighted by the game's difficulty. It's not really a difficult game per se, but it is still more challenging than the series' Gamecube era. The Dungeons design is vastly improved over the last 2 games.  I got myself lost a few times already, wondering where to go next, and it's always a blast figuring it all in time. =)

Nintendo also greatly improved the presentation. The animation is top notch, surpassing Wind Waker, the visual style really grows on you, and it is definitely their best story telling effort so far.

All in all, I'm really enjoying the game and if things continue at this pace, it might rank among the top in the series, alongside A Link to the Past and Wind Waker.

If you're having a blast with it now, then there's no need to worry. 

From what I've heard, the game keeps getting better and better. I can confrim that, from where I'm standing.

Well for those who were worrying, the game finally went down to 94 on Metacritic thanks to another 70 given by Games.cz



Now it is gonna be luck to hit 95 :/



I would make a positive comment about dungeon design. On paper the first dungeon was quite simplistic (e.g. if you look at it on the map), but it was quite cunningly designed. I'm misinterpreting the purpose of rooms quite similarly to how i did in Link's Awakening



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I agree, the dungeon design is AWESOME (3rd dungeon...)

down to 93 on metacritic now



Well it doesn't matter now, it's still one of the best if not the best Zelda in my heart, it's easy to top Ocarina of Time when you are open-minded.

I have to agree with this, I played OoT 3D and this is deifinitely better IMO.

Also- Just entering the 5th dungeon. The Ancient Cistern was awesome.
