After standing in line for about eight hours at my local Walmart, I have my Wii. I bought only Twilight Princess.
I only have about four hours total gaming time on it so my review won't be entirely conclusive.
The setup was relatively simple and straightforward. Set the bar on your TV, plug in the cords to the TV, connect the 360-like powerbrick to the wall were as complicated as it gets. After that, it needs to update which, unfortunately, takes like a half an hour in total.
Wii Sports showed exactly what the Wiimote can do. Out of the 5 minigames, Golf has to be my favorite. It's funny, because in real life I usually hit it to the right. This is directly interpreted into the game. I was astonished. The Wiimote senses movement like a champ. It realistically senses movement and speed in real time: no lag. Of course there was some glitches every once in awhile, but this is expected. Tennis was my second favorite. The simple flick of the wrist can do fine, but you can really get into it. Your hand placement and swing time is represented in game perfectly.
As for Zelda, I haven't really played much of it to give a real overview of it. Really, the only thing I've done so far is fishing which, honestly, is pretty fun. You cast the line with the Wiimote and your view goes to the bobber. Once it dips, you jerk up and move the nunchuck in a circular motion as if you were reeling it in. I am very confident that this game will blow me away.
The buttons on the Wiimote are very comfortable to use with the motion itself. I'm so glad to not have to hold on to a controller and inside just rest my left hand on the armrest while my right hand is active yet still using my left hand for movement. It's a very, very comfortable, laid-back way of doing things, and it feels great.
I'll update this when I get home (friend's house, atm).
