It's not just the difficulty though, it's the presentation. The graphics still seem from an era past, there's not really any voice acting and the plot is thin and straightforward. Not to mention the lack of conflict between characters.
Zelda is all about the quest, but whether it's Luke Skywalker or Frodo or Solid Snake, they all have obstacles to overcome besides the big bad guy.
To be fair, a lot of those complaints are tropes of the series really. So it may just be that Zelda isn't for you.
The last two times Link talked, it was an abomination, so..."Link doesn't talk because... it's a Zelda game and Link doesn't talk."
I like Zelda and want the new one to do well, but ever since OOT it just feels like the franchise has been spinning its wheels.
It's the same exact formula each game with a new gimmick thrown in. Often they even strip out some of the old features. The graphics are good for the Wii, but they really haven't kept up with the competition.
I was literally growing up with the original Zelda games. They came out several years apart and each game was a little more mature and complex, not unlike myself at the time. But after OOT came out, it felt like the series didn't want to grow up with me anymore, and I abandoned it for more "mature" titles like Symphony of the Night, Metal Gear Solid, and so on.
I know it's a strange comparison, but I think it represents a lot of the early gamers and the evolution of consoles.

Also, while I understand, the series can't continually grow with you or else the next generation of youngins won't be able to grow up with it as well. At this point I think there is still that possibility though it's not quite as pronounced like when we were growing up with the series.
And yes, I have the special edition on preorder and am hoping like hell I finish the new Assassin's Creed before this comes out. Though I might just wait until after Thanksgiving anyway.
And yes, I though Twilight Princess was awesome.
They took a step back with the cel shaded Wind Walker graphics
You have an opinion and that's fine, I understand, but you're wrong and I hate you.
Edit: Also, who is comparing Skyward Sword with Skyrim?? They're completely different games.

I was comparing them because my time is very limited to play games. When I have options and only a limited amount of time, I am going to go for the best game in the genre that I want to play. Zelda has historically been an RPG/action type game. Skyrim is an RPG game. I like those types of games. From everything I have seen and played, Skyrim > Skyward Sword, so my money and my time will go to Skyrim. This type of choice isn't a problem for single console or die hard Wii fans because, they don't have the options that the other systems do as none of the top games are released for the Wii, but with all the hot games just released in the last few weeks...
Uncharted 3
Skyrim
Assassin's Creed
Battlefield 3
MW3
Batman Arkham City
...there isn't any time for a Gamecube rehash. Thank God I only have an Xbox 360 and a Wii or I would have to find time to squeeze in Uncharted 3 too.
