Nintendo played it safe with this one.
With that said, I was slightly disappointed with this game. Not so much as the content and gameplay, but rather the look of it. As I said this game feels nostalgic. If you played one Zelda you'd played them all. Even with the Wii's controller, you can't help but feel that you've been down this path before.
Maybe its a testament to the 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' belief, but Nintendo played it real safe with this one. The story is grasping, the gameplay is phenominal as would expect from a next-gen console, but the feel of it is just too reminiscent. Zelda will forever be a timless classic but it does appear trapped in its own mold of greatness.
