Well *I* rented it, absolutely LOVED it, AND didn't beat it. ...Then again, I was only allowed to play it 4 hours max per day (5x), AND I tried to get EVERYTHING--well, as much as I could without help.
There's absolutely NO WAY I'm NOT gonna get Wind Waker. At this point in time, I rank it tied for FIRST PLACE (with Paper Mario) for my all-time favorite game. That is a MAJOR accomplishment, IMO. (Well, okay, it's tied for *SECOND* place--with SMRPG. PM will be REALLY hard to beat...)
I am now officially hooked on the LoZ series, Wind Waker being the first one I've played. I'm intrigued how they connect...
