I'm not too bothered by the Sci-Fi elements, considering they've been kind of popping up since Twilight Princess (visually at least) I'm getting used to them. Not sure how I would feel about a Sci-Fi Zelda, it would probably come down to how it was presented and done.

I think I may have met the first person tonight who is not excited about this game, in fact when we discussed it, he learned that two mechanics from SS were coming back and flipped out, saying he wasn't probably going to give a pass on it. Apparently the Stamina Gauge and Breakable weapons/shield/item mechanic is what made Skyward Sword so awful, and this game returning those elements are terrible because "everyone hated those mechanics". So yeah...
