Ok, finished the game no more than 2 minutes ago.
It's taken 56 hours, which is by far the biggest Zelda game so far, I'd say. A lot of that was spent walking around just soaking the world in, which is a lot easier to do with this game than most of the previous ones, but as opposed to Wind Waker it doesn't feel like the side quests are there to pad out a short game.
Story-wise, this must easily be the best one so far. The stories of LTTP and OOT will always be dear to me, but this was much better written, more coherent and deeper.
The difficulty was also set at a much more balanced level than some previous games (OOT Water Temple, I'm looking at you), but it was nowhere near as easy as WW.
Also, it was great to see Ganon back as the last boss, was starting to fear he might not make an appearance.
All in all, I'm inclinced to call this the best Zelda, which is a pretty big statement. Frankly astonishing game, and I'm glad Zelda is as brilliant as ever. I'm going to bed, now, working nights from tomorrow. But the exhaustion was worth it :D
