Yes, it does. So I see Link holding the Mustard Sword on the cover, and I'm all like "WHAT I GOT THIS TINY GODDESS SWORD INSTEAD! WHAT A RIPOFF!" I used a walkthrough ONCE after being stuck in Eldin Volcano for two hours. As it turns out, a short scene is supposed to play that shows you what to do. It didn't for me. Sad, I know... Then I got sick of the graphics and killed power to my Wii, declaring Skyrim as the superior game. I'm not kidding. Twilight Princess should be the rule, not the exception! ::edit:: I like how it's called "Eldin Ore". Does that mean Eldin is a material? Like "Copper Ore"? Or does it smelt into Eldinite?  |

If you're trolling me, I stopped doing that. Also, go die in a ditch.
If you're just kidding around, yeah, that gave me a chuckle.

They're too cartoony.
First, the kid-friendly lava drives me insane. Lava should never be kid-friendly. I mean NEVER.
What happened to falling into a pit of realistic-looking, molten lava and vanishing underneath (with a spine-chilling scream, at least the first time) while your arm, holding your sword, slowly sinks in? That's infinitely better than spazzing out (with an annoyingly Japanese voice, god) about your Nickleback being on fire. And jumping 5 feet straight up in the air while you're at it!
Same thing with sword noises. I can never hear what the hell my sword's doing unless I don't hit anything, because every time I do a musical hit plays to cover the T-rated flesh slicing noises. Sigh... They didn't get rid of the finisher move though, and that's a clear goring.
Although I'm glad they removed the penalty for falling (because there's a hell of a lot more of it), I think that's also silly. In a dungeon, who stops you from falling?
Finally, I don't like how they reused the names from Twilight Princess. If this game were a direct prequel or sequel, that would be fine, but NO, IT COMES BEFORE OOT! Then they should be called the Kokiri Forest, Death Mountain, and Zora's Lake, not Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano, and <I dunno the third, don't spoil it if you do>. Or they could just be called something totally different!
Then again, there's a lot of things they did better.
Item improvement is an interesting idea but it creates the totally NOT Zelda activity of drop farming.
They mixed up the treasures too. No more Boomerang, it appears, but you get this weird-ass Beetle thingy instead...

Wait till you get to lanayru. The sinksand does exactly the thing you want lava to do. Also, the Beetle becomes boss.

Oh god, there's quicksand in lanayru? Also... yeah, there's no way around quicksand. At least you know he's not being incinerated out of existence, so I guess it's E10+... Look, in TP, the quicksand animation was exactly that of lava, you know. Minus the scream, and FOUR HEARTS OF DAMAGE  |

Epic tip: dash towards one of the areas where you can jump off Skyloft, and while dashing swing the wiimote in an overhead strike fashion. This will make Link do Aether off Skyloft.
