I just recently picked this up from Gamestop after years of avoiding it due to bad word of mouth. I've heard everything from gimmicky controls to poor level design, the works.
Well, about a dungeon in and I am really enjoying it!
It took a little bit to get used to the controls. They did feel gimmicky at first and I wasn't wild about the Wind Waker-lite feel it had, but I'm en route to the next section of the game and I'm really taken aback by how much I'm enjoying it. The game makes great utilization of the hardware, really pushes the original DS to its limit in all facets: the interface, the controls, both screens, even the graphics.
It's a great game thus far. I'm not exactly surprised that it's criticized because it is a huge departure from what one would expect from a Zelda experience, but I certainly am enjoying it. Plus, I hear Spirit Tracks is even better, so having that to look forward to excites me as well.
