I agree that the areas were fantastic, but I think i'm not the only one that was disappointed that they weren't interconnected. I'd like to have found hidden passages that somehow connected each one, so it felt like a big, unified hyrule, not 3 hub levels. Sure, that doesn't actually affect the game, but, for some reason, when the world feels interconnected, people seem to like it more. Take dark souls, for example. I think the shortcut finding in that game was what really made some people love it.
Yeah, they need to continue to design the areas like Skyward Sword (minus the sky) but make them all connected. I understand why they made you go back to Skyloft every time, it was the hub, you needed to go back for story and they wanted you to know when new side quests popped up, but the sky was sooooo empty .
