At this point I'm most worried abo-- er, I mean... looking forward to the plot. Nintendo has said next to nothing about the story elements so far, and I'm worried that what we've heard so far will be pretty much all there is to the plot. This, and the fact that there are so few items leads me to believe that SS will turn out to be just like the two DS games, except for the wii. I really hope not... I've yet to be disappointed by a console Zelda and I hope SS doesn't turn out to be too casual. I'm actually glad that my expectations aren't very high though, because in the end I'll probably be blown out of the water by how epic SS is.
That being said though, I'm really looking forward to swinging that sword around for myself. In retrospect, the swordplay in past Zelda games seems rather unintelligent and hack 'n' slash-y compared to SS. I'm sure the gameplay will make up for the lack of story and items (and then again, there might end up being more of those things than what I think).
