So, the coolness of Link turning into a werewolf: non-existent.

I feel for the guy, really. Lycanthropy is not an easy thing to live with . . . stylistically or otherwise.

The gameplay appears to be solid, the visuals, stunning as ever, but I just can't get over the werewolf thing. . .

Ganon probably has a silver sword or something at the end. . .and it is over.

Besides, it is too ironic that you start the game riding an animal only to be ridden as an animal.Not to mention that little gremlin guy has one one eye reminiscent of the Yu-gi-oh! eye that first appeared on the backside of the moon in Escaflowne.

. . . did I just say that? At least I had Yu-gi-oh! and backside in the same sentence.
