I was going to give it a nine at first too, but then I just kept thinking, "I can't do this to my Portal, it's too incredible for a mere nine D:" so I added a few decimal points. XD Occasionally the levels can get a little repetitive, yes, but that's just the nature of the game, and it kind of adds to the feeling you get of being nothing more than this trapped lab rat in a maze. And I absolutely agree - every time you get something fantastic and they announce a sequel, you panic a little, thinking it's going to be ruined. Thankfully, Valve is smarter and prouder than that, and wisely decided to avoid all but a few minor references to the old memes (two companion cube appearances and one cake joke in a game whose success was based on both. I'd say that's pretty impressive.)

I haven't played any Zelda games to completion, no, but Owe's a big fan. Maybe if we ask nicely he'll add a game review or two to his repetroire of movie reviews XD
