sidequests? minigames? anybody?

there is one thing that i am slightly disappointed in for TP and that is the sidequests. In every zelda game previously there have been a lot bigger/more sidequests. Mostly the trading sequences. In TP there are no long sidequests that lead to an awesome sword or anyrhing. I think these add to the replay value of games. When you go through again you feel all sweet after having collected everything. TP only have upgrades of old minigames. The arrow upgrades, fishing holes, heart pieces, poes, and bugs(skulltulas).

You have to agree that there is a lack of innovative minigames/sidequests. please give me any feedback or whatever!

Yeah.. It seems old to us and feels like theres a lack of mini-games. But imagine what TP would be like to someone new to the series. It would be blowing them away. That's why Nintendo don't care...
