am i the only one who thinks this game is kinda short?

i dunno.. im so used to the usual zelda formula.. a few initial "easy" dungeons then something crazy happens(usually involving the kings castle going "dark"... then a bunch more "hard" dungeons .. then a hard final battle...
im not saying zelda games need to follow this or any kind of formula... but minish cap felt like the first part of LTTP but with no cool dark world after... i didnt read anything on the game before playing.. so after i finally beat that damn vaati for the 3rd freaking time.. i was expecting... more... and was disappointed... bleh

and im really confused why this game is so popluar with everyone... its fun.. but.. umm... as far as a zelda game... id say its my second least favorite(#2 being worst).
