I've just finished Twilight Princess. It's overrated. Massively. Have a look at why (have blogged about it) and persuade me otherwise.
I agree with most things you wrote. Especially that a lot of the items are just useless after some point. I remember in OoT that the boomerang was still very handy after finishing Yabu-Yabu´s Belly, but in TP it´s just totally useless after dungeon one. You can´t even use it as a weapon =/ Same goes for all the other items you mentioned.
I disagree with that the story was the same as in other Zelda´s. Even though some elements were the same, it was still quite different. A few new characters were introduced, Link has a different background, first game were Link is adult only, the whole twilight thing with the wolf (although that just sucked like you said), two bad guys, a helping character with her own story etc.
One thing I personally did not like was that you always seem to be in narrow passages or corridors. I miss the wide open field with lots of enemies, secrets and stuff.
I can agree with that the game is a bit overrated. I heard it got a 9.5+ from some magazines and websites which really is a little too high. But it was still very good imo.
