We already know the storyline will be good. And we know the world will be good. I just hope there's more of that awesomeness.

Have you adjusted your Xbox to the correct TV standard and changed your TV settings though? Subtitles shouldn't be a issue.

Because if you have an SDTV, there really isn't much you can do to fix the tiny text. HDTV's are cheap now anyways.

It's weird, the text is basically meant for HDTV. It can be the same exact size as your SDTV and yet it'll be more clearer (if this sounds confusing, I'm sorry).

My TV cost about $1000 and I got it like 5 years ago. I can find my same size TV for probably around $400 now (maybe even less, it's a 42").

Actually, LTTP was large, it had enough space to fit a desert, a castle, a town, a forest, a lake, mountains and even a second map after that, along with 12 dungeons, it was the longest Zelda game yet, OOT and MM can't compare, I think the newer Zelda's should stop having the "Get 3 items for the MS" - "Then get 3-4 items for another task" - "Final dungeon" routine, and have a similar route to LTTP, in which you get 3 items for the MS, final boss, sudden plot twist, and then maybe have 5 dungeons to do things in, then the final final boss.

Hellz yeah. I honestly though that one of Skyward Swords strengths was the story telling. Would love to see magic return to Zelda too.
I also would like to see them add a quest book (much like the Bombers Note Book from Majoras Mask). I enjoyed how they worked a quest system around a 3 day period, it's pretty damn clever when you think about it and how it works with the time mechanic.
Another good addition would be having FULL towns and villages. If you look at Kakariko village from OoT there aren't many people; obviously back then it seemed big. But when you look at Hyrule Town in Twilight Princess, that's on the level of Assassins Creed. Skyward Sword didn't have this and the entire world felt empty.

And most of that is empty space. Take it out and the game is fairly simple and small. It's also a lot easier to place tiles than it is to create 3D areas. My point stands.

Edit: Actually I just flat out disagree with your statement about LTTP being big. You can go from one side to the other in about 2 minutes. http://zs.ffshrine.org/link-to-the-past/maps/light_world-1.png

For the time, I guess it was big, and to complete it, you'd have to do a lot more than some of the Zelda games today, 12 dungeons is still more than any other Zelda game, and the second world is also quite a stretch.
