mmm well i played up for 3 hours so far...
the first hour is mostly exposition and tutorial stuff,including the omnipresent guys who's at a higher place that tells you to press Z and A to talk with him,so really it's just kind of boring filler but i really like the cutscenes,they are animated really nicely and at least it goes down much much faster than twilight princess
hour 2 you finaly reach the forest,it's actualy pretty small and it really just serves as stuff to do before the actual dungeon,you find an npc and he ask you to find another 3 NPC which are hidden around the map,it's somewhat annoying but the sword can act as a dowsing rod that starts to vibrate when you point it near them which make finding them a little easier
hour 3 it's the first dungeon and it's the E3 demo dungeon with a few more room's added,so i don't really have much to say about it...
from what i said it would seems like i'm not liking it much but i'm actualy digging it,it looks and sounds really lovely... i went out of my way in the world map

and i found a pub called "the lumpy pumpkin" there is all bar music and the bar owner is there washing dishes... and there is an heart container on top of a chandelier on top,the only way to reach the chandelier is to break it by smashing on the balcony and when you break it the owner goes all like

and then get pissed at you,then the waitress start to call you "mighty knight,slayers of chandeliers"

the merchant too,there is a general bazaar music but depending to what merchant you get close too the music change to his speciality so when you get close to the mechanic it changes to metallic sounds... there is one of them who has an horrible grin like

on his face but when you refuse to buy stuff from him he goes all like

one thing they did is removing the compass,when you find the map,the map also tells you the location of every chest AND switch
