I'm getting close to the end, so I'm taking a break from the story line and just doing the games. The controls are great, but as an FPS player I really wish sometimes that I could make the screen turn as fast as with a mouse
yea, the lack of camera controls is unfortunate, but i found that the camera auto-control was better than any previous zelda/mario type 3d game. i also used the z-targeting a lot to recenter my camera.
a few parts in the game are annoying. like in the forest temple when you have to throw the boomerang to hit the turning platforms. it's not too bad though.
