All the cutscenes are skippable on "Hero Mode". Just press 2.
At least, all the ones I've done so far.
And the ending is pretty interesting. However, two things come to mind with this game:
1. They REAAAAAALLY missed an opportunity to put the "Hyrule Temple" from Super Smash Bros. Melee. When I started the game I'm like "It'd be awesomely retroactive if they put that Melee/Brawl stage, since the sky is a big dynamic now."
2. They also missed a HUGE opportunity to put the "City in the Sky" from Twilight Princess as some kind of new stage. That would've been pretty great 'cuz it would've tied the games together. Either that, or "Cloud Tops" from Minish Cap.
Only three things I don't like (much) about the game:
1. Thrusting your sword forward isn't as responsive. I've lost health on two bosses and a few normal enemies because Link won't freakin' thrust when I want him to.
2. I have pulled my hair while doing some skydiving events because I cannot understand how to skydive well. Now that I'm done with the game I'm somewhat good with 'em but I still don't quite get 'em. Specifically, when I want to move link forward while diving... instead, I have to tilt him around the screen and it's annoying.
3. The music, (especially the music in the temples) isn't as memorable as I would like. It's fine, it's just not... y'know... catchy? Lords of Shadow syndrome, maybe?
