I find it much better so far. Flying in the sky doesn't take nearly as long as sailing, which involved playing a song to change the wind direction, waiting for Link to finish playing, and then show the cutscene of Link looking in the wind direction. After that, you can finally start sailing in the right direction. Though, from what I hear, there's no warping system in the sky for Skyward Sword and Wind Waker lets you warp with those wind twister things. Anyways, Skyward Sword's difficulty is *way* more difficult than the Wind Waker's. Also, S.S. has no triforce charts.
