I agree on the more open world part.
The story of Zelda games has been fine, while the save the princess story is still there it's wrapped in other plots and side plots that enriches it. Skyward Sword is going to expand on Ganondorfs rise to power we see in Ocarina of Time.
Everything else seems nitpicky.
