Yeah my touch screen is fine. It's not like I was falling of ledges all the time, just every once in a while.
But that's just because I run around haphazardly in games, and the touch controls aren't quite as responsive as regular controls. And I just in general don't like them. I like traditional controls and just have a hard time getting into touch screen control in these types of games, full motion control games etc.
I didn't think past zelda games had bland combat, they had more complicated dodging, more effort required to score a hit, etc. With this it was just dumbed down to where all you had to do for most enemies was just tap them and link would run up and kill them.
As for Zelda, it's probably my all time favorite series. Especially Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. Those games are about as good as it gets.
I just didn't care for this game nearl as much as other entries in the series because I didn't like the controls, the too simple dungeons and going through the OK temple multiple times.
What can I say, Nintendo is changing--casual games, touch screen controls, motion controls etc. They've just gotten away from what I loved from the NES through GC: nice, hardcore games with traditional controls. At least Phantom Hourglass is the only main game that I've though suffered from this. Twighlight Princess, Mario Galaxy (and New Super Mario Bros) and Metroid Prime 3 were all incredible still.
But I'm not optimistic that will continue. I've already got rid of my Wii, and I kind of doubt I'll bother with any Nintendo platforms beyond the DS. They're making tons of money, but they're no direction just isn't giving me enough of the type of gaming I enjoy these days.
