Overall, the controller is going to need some fine tuning in future games, as most games are too responsive or not sensitive enough. If Nintendo is going to capture a mass-market, they'll need to make it somewhat.. "easier" to control. I can see ALOT of people getting frustrated with Wii Sports; most of the time, its a simple flick of the wrist, but whatever action you are performing seems to have a mind of its own.
Overall, the games are disappointing. A few of the gems include Trauma Center, Metal Slug, and Rayman. Almost everything else is near the quality of pre-fabricated garbage. Graphics on certain games are N64 quality, which is NOT acceptable; I would've been happy with Gamecube quality, but to take a step back is just completely and utterly wrong. Gameplay for most games is actually ok, again with the exception of a couple (GT Pro, I'm looking at you).
Zelda is a toss-up. I think I'd rather just play it on the Gamecube, but some may find that the other features (especially aiming the bow) add to the gameplay.
I'm kind of mixed. At this point, I'm just waiting for more games to come out.
If the demo (which is only 440 MB, by the way) took half a day to download, I would REALLY suggest you upgrade your computer :P
And yes, the game has issues. Graphics are meh but definitely a bit better, sound is eh, so on, so forth. BUt the actual "army chess" gameplay is just freaking fantastic.
New Wii owners: your impressions?
