I've watched LPs of various 3D Zeldas and so I know the content of stuff like Skyward Sword and they are great games to watch, but not my kind of thing to play. Before Zelda, I only played Pokémon; I'm not really a gamer. I have to use a guide too because I'm not very good. Navigating the 3D worlds will just confuse me, so I'd rather watch others doing it.
Give the wii u one a shot when it comes out! It's good to try new things, especially if that new thing happens to be awesome.
I'm not 100% sure the wii u zelda will be awesome, but im pretttttyyy confident in it.
Navigating the 3D world will probably be confusing at first, but it'll probably be a good challenge and end up being pretty fun too.
My biggest tip for 3D zeldas is to observe your surroundings if you get stuck. If you're stuck in a puzzle just observe your surroundings and go over what tools and information you have. It's really fun and rewarding imo.
