[/quote]to put this into perspective for you:
phantom hourglass is the only video game i've ever returned, ever
i couldn't even do a fucking spin attack that's how god-awful the controls were.
i enjoy zelda because it offers a challenge, but even the tutorial dungeon made me scratch my head a few times[/quote]
Then why didn't you just say "I'm awful at Phantom Hourglass, therefore I hate it?"
It's supposed make you scratch your head, that's the goddamn challenge. If you were more practical and patient then you'd have enjoyed the game more. I bet (by the looks of it) that you gave up quite easily. As for the controls, they may not suit some but controls are never versatile enough to suit every player. And one more thing, you could change some controls to suit you. Take some time and look around. Not every game is as linear as you want it to be.
