I completely agree with that. Looking back at the trailer I can see why we were all so hyped for the game and why some of us felt a little let down by what we got. On the plus side I think TP killed my hype-drive. I was anticipating that game for so long, all of my avatars and stuff were screenshots of the game (they were so unbelievably beautiful for the time).
Then it took years to come out and although it is a good game it just didn't live up to the image it made for itself.
Although I am still anticipating Skyward Sword, I just don't feel the excitement for it like I did with TP. I suppose that's a good thing. This artwork is still great though:
I currently have my desktop background set to scroll between the 3 poses of this image. I love it.
