After playing this game a little bit longer, I have decided that I do not hate it nearly so much as I thought I did.
Yes, the animation is far too cutesy and cartoony for my taste, however there are some pretty cute characters in the game that make it a little more tolerable.
In other news, I rather like the fact that the gameworld is so expansive. It may well be the largest gameworld in which I have ever played. That's not exactly to say that it is the biggest so much as it feels the biggest, simply because of how long it takes to cross it.
I also rather enjoy the way the game makes you feel like you actually are travelling a long distance: something most games have difficulty pulling off.
Among other things, I also enjoy the fact that there is SO much to explore within the game... So many islands and types of civilizations and so forth.
Possibly my favorite part so far is the discovery of Hyrule Castle, and the resting place of the Master Sword... Particularly since it tied in with Ocarina of Time... It was not necessarily believable, but nonetheless rather interesting.
Having that said, I think it is the exaggerated movement and ugly animation that ruins the game, because besides all of that, the game is actually pretty entertaining.

Once again, due to unfortunate events outside of my control, (dubbed my parent's computer) I am posting both of my game log entries one after the other.
Ok, yes, I admit it, I am playing yet ANOTHER Zelda game. This game, however, is drastically different from other Zelda games that I have played, and not necessarily in a good way.
First off, the controls are too sticky for my liking. That is not to say that they are sloppy, but rather that the character exhibits irratic behavior, and unpredictable movements which make it difficult to perform certain tasks such as leaping from platform to platform, or ducking into a hole.
Secondly, the cut-scenes are far too long and dramatic for the type of cutesy animation in the game. Equally annoying is the fact that one cannot skip the cut scenes.
I will say this though, in the game's favor:
The animation in flawless.
