I guess I should have stated that I am not an enormous fan of OoT. Now that I think about it, my thoughts on OoT are pretty much the same as my thoughts on Wind Waker. I guess the move to 3D just made the things I didn't like doing in the previous Zeldas even worse (moving around the world map). I'd rather be spending the time dying and replaying a boss than walking for 10 minutes to the dungeon.

So some of the changes in the flow of the game (meaning the change of focus from dying and replaying to walking the world map and increase in dialogue) from the NES and SNES Zeldas to the N64 and GC Zeldas are to be expected with the jump to 3D. But at least let me skip cinematics and don't tell me that Joy Pendants are like a bee taking nectar to a joy-filled blossom each time I pick one up.

Does anyone know why on the sea map some island names are bright red and others are a muted red? Treasure?

They are places you have to go to further the game at some point or another. dungeons and important places like that.

If there is a way to teleport to islands, it cannot come soon enough.

You can. Remember the wind god early on near Dragon Roost who had a brother who was causing whirlwinds? Get yourself caught in a whirlwind (the giant type) and you'll see the guy inside of it. Take him out with some arrows.
