Take a look at the latest Zelda installment, the WindWaker. Excellent gameplay, story, along with a nice new twist on the graphics (which I thought were awesome), but the # of dungeons and the difficulty of the game was a huge disappointment. A Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time both had around 10-12 dungeons each, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure the WindWaker had half that many. And when you beat every boss on the first try, it doesn't make you appreciate finishing the game @ the end. I think the final boss was the easiest one of the whole game.
Moral of the story: Please Nintendo, on your next Zelda release, do what you've been doing with the gameplay, story and graphics, but pretty, pretty please add more dungeons, more puzzles, and more difficulty.
