NOTE I DID NOT USE A SPOILER TAG, SO SKYWARD SWORD SPOILERS ARE IN THE BELOW TEXT
I'm a huge Zelda fan, i like Zelda games. Would i replay this game? No. It took me around 45-50 hours to beat, not doing many quests and not doing boss rush. Some things during the game didn't make much sense.
I liked the music, the music was nice pretty much through out the game. Is the Wii a graphical powerhouse? No, but i liked the graphics, the graphics were pretty nice. I didn't mind the gameplay, but some of it was annoying.
My thoughts.
The final boss fight was pretty cool, i liked it, though not really sure why Demise looked like Akuma or Blanka from Street Fighter. I actually laughed when he appeared since he reminded me of them so much. I liked the way Demise and Link had a stairdown, and how only a few people Link, and Groose stood up to Demise, it was but i liked it. The music fit it.
The Controls - Now this is a downer. The controls weren't that bad sometimes, but others they were extremely annoying. A few times during boss battles like with Demise or Girihim the Wii Motion Plus would screw it, it wasn't because i was rushing or anything. It's just a fault with the Wii Motion Plus. Another thing was the camera, the camera was pretty wonky, especially with the lock on, during the Horde battle, i ran down to the archers and hit lock on and it locks on to the enemies behind link that i'm not even facing.
The Flight Controls with the bird weren't bad, they were pretty easy to get used to and use, though having to flap my hand for the bird to flap his wings was annoying. My hand was getting pretty tired through the Horde battle, though i did like the battle. I hated the swimming, swimming with the Wiimote was Irritating to say the least, especially when using the control stick would have been so much easier and more intuitive.
For the most part the game was enjoyable, i say for the most part because there were some parts i hated.
Silent Realms - Yes, i hated the Silent realms, they weren't that hard, but they were annoying and i didn't like them at all, it reminded of the collect 15 tears crap that i hated in Twilight Princess because of crappy Wolf Link, who i also hated. There was literally no reason for me to have to do a 4th Silent Realm on Skyloft, I don't see how collecting 15 little water droplets should allow my to gain the Ultimate power of the triforce. They could of easily replaced the the Stupid Silent Realms with actual smallish dungeons if they actually used the rest of the dang map or made it bigger.
I had to revisit the same places during the story, 5+ years working on this game, they could of easily added more Dungeons and more area's instead of using the same places over and over again.
Though i did like that pretty much all the dungeons were worked into the story, and link went into them pretty much when he got to place, seemed more Story Centric since link had to pass through continue on. Seemed kind of like they milked the omg 100 hours thing for all its worth. You can Dual Layer Wii discs, there should of been no reason they couldn't have added more content to the game.
It's nice to see Nintendo putting in a NG+ type mode, but they still managed to screw it up. For one you have to pick right at the end, right there if you want to delete everything you just did to start in Hero Mode, and you can't actually save on a different save slot so you can go back and complete quests, look for the cubes, etc. Seems like a very basic thing for Nintendo to screw up.
Like i said, while i liked the game, a lot of it was enjoyable, i would of given it probably a 10 if it didn't have so much Fluff and if the controls didn't screw up, I don't want to say give it a 6, but 7.5 seems about right. It just seems like they could of, and should have done more with the game after all the time it spent in development.
