That's probably the Zelda game I had the most negative reaction to. Oh, you're going to undo all of my progress because I didn't know how much more there was to do in this quest line before the world reset? No, I'm not going to do all of that again.

But that's the fun of it! The game really manages to put you in a hurry if you really want to do everything you can in one cycle. Plus, my emotional atachment to the NPCs made me feel so relieved every time I went back in time and saw people living their little lives, clueless about the horrors to come

It would be one thing if I knew how much I had to do ahead of time, but until I've seen most of it before, I have no idea. There was some upgrade I could get only after finishing the entire goron temple, race, and some such, and I was on the final step of it when I ran out of time. I can't do just the last step of it; I had to repeat at least the race, maybe the temple, in order to get to that spot again. I decided instead, "Nah, I'm good," and put the game down. I respect that they tried to do a lot with a little on the development side, but it introduced tedium for me, the player, to be within those constraints.

This was the last Zelda game I played, but I couldn't really get the hang of it since I really went into it expecting OoT 2: Eclectic Boogaloo, and OoT was really the best thing I'd seen up until then regardless of franchise. Then I saw all the cool stuff being done in later games with all the amazing tech that was being developed but I just couldn't get around to have the time or patience necessary to sit and play anymore.
