I have been a long time huge Zelda fanatic. Simply put, no matter how terrible, no matter how long the game is, or how repetitive it is I will always buy a Zelda game if it comes out period.
It was the first game I played on Game Boy and OOT is still to this day my favorite game out of anything to this point. Still the best game ever made in my opinion as well.
Sadly, I have not been following the new development for Wii U very closely due to preparing for pharmacy school.
However, I do remember seeing teasers for the Wii U Zelda some time ago and I have never 1. stopped being a bit giddy and 2. freaking out because flippin hate spiders.
If the first temple is the size of Hyrule field then I'm about to not sleep for a long time or until my body passes out from exhaustion.
Game progression is something I really enjoyed in OOT, I really enjoyed the songs in correlation with the temples progression. Music in OOT is by far still my favorite to this day. The music aspect in TP left me with something to desire a bit. It was different but eh, something just didn't catch my attention.
Honestly and I may get some backlash here, but Honeybadger don't care. I really felt like MM was ruined by having to reset every three days. I remember playing in the beginning and feeling crunched and rushed. I like to be able to take my time if I please and enjoy the game for how majestic Zelda is.
Villian? Zelda has almost always been about Gannon and in my opinion always should be. I know some people think it gets old. In fact, I read a gameinformer once upon a time with the author of Zelda. He said and I paraphrase, "You know some people are nostalgic for that old school Zelda feel. Also you get criticism if you do something new, and if you don't. You get criticism if you keep the same or you don't. What we aim for is a healthy mix of both."
At this point down the Zelda saga, I think it would be cool to start including some little tributes to older Zelda games as something along the lines of side quests or hidden areas.
