your opponent is an insufferable, spoiled 13-year-old. everything else follows from this:
1. your opponent will disconnect to avoid "actually" losing.1a. the chances of this are roughly tripled if there is any kind of win/loss record-keeping or ranking system.2. your opponent will accuse you of using "cheap" tactics. for a short while you will attempt to reason with them and fail 100% of the time.
etc

My son loves that game, especially the way it sounds like Joe is saying his own name when he jumps (Joe-HWOOO!).

the reason being, there was one town in it that was supposed to be more vanilla and peaceful, so the random encounters were more civilian. but there was always a chance that any encounter would turn violent right away, no matter how advanced you were. so you would have to, at some point, fight off a family or group of unarmed bums that jumped you.

I lucked him the first time around after a bazillion attempts and now on the "fight all the bastard bosses again" level I just have no clue what to do with him :(

The only tedious moment I've witnessed in the game so far has been SPOILERS AHOY the giant statues puzzle right before the master sword SPOILERS NO LONGER AHOY.

Yeah, but I heard Pheonix Wright is pretty damn short, w/ no replay value.
Also, i'm boggling at the fact that I'm older than nabisco.

Desert temple. They've all got one though right? It has one of the most fun items Ive yet seen in a Zelda game though (probably forgetting some), hoping it comes in for use again at some point and I'll be shocked if Nintendo haven't crafted a mini game or two with it in mind...
HERE ENDETH THE SPOILER
I spent fuckin hours today just pootling about Hyrule though, trying out all the fishing (possibly the only thing to make me sad I don't have the Wii version) and everything. The point at which you can really explore - usually when you've collected the initial three items say - and the game really opens out is always my favourite. I think I'm starting to see a proper town starting to develop - along the lines of Wind Waker more than Clock Town from Majoras Mask most likely, but I'm hoping for anything in that regard, cos thats often one the greatest things about Zelda. I love the working, changing towns... Like having a mini animal crossing in the middle of a huge adventure game or something.
But yeah, it's fucking huge. Like they've just crammed in every last bit of every Zelda game in to one huge best of. And if, like the rumours say, this is the last Zelda in this traditional style then it makes sense to go out epic style.

Yeah I really really wanted to talk about this but don't want to ruin the surprise for others, opening that chest was one of the ultimate WTF moments in gaming history for me.

This game has really made me laugh on numerous occasions, and I'm really glad that's all still there (and especially that it's text based - contrary to what many reviews have said - cos the humour relies on being read for one [Malo's little mumblings when you're showing the kids how to use yr sword say], and having everything spoken breaks the game and how it all works...), supposed "darker serious tone" or not (and that item just sort of had me chuckling to myself with joy). S'funny though, I've seen a few people mention online that... nobody is talking about Zelda online! I mean, I'm sure they are in some places but it's almost as a)too busy playing and b)nobosy really wants to give anything away.
