I can't stand this game. I've had it since release and I still haven't beaten the damn thing. The Zelda formula is just getting old to me. I don't want to be solving puzzles any more. Zelda III was great in that it mixed up the puzzles with the action and exploration perfectly, but Windwaker is just annoying puzzle after annoying puzzle.

How many times is the Zelda series going to rehash the same, go to a dungeon, solve annoying puzzle after annoying puzzle, get dungeon treasure, use it to solve more annoying puzzles, get Big Key, solve more annoying puzzles (this time mixed between using the dungeon treasure and previous dungeon treasures), get to the boss, use dungeon treasure to beat the boss.

I'm going to beat the game someday, not because I want to or because I enjoy it, but simply because the Zelda series is so popular.
