First off, this is the LOWEST score I have ever given a zelda game... Let me tell you why.
And I did give it a fair chance -- I love Link it took me an entire week (and TONS of hours of playing to accept that this wasn't a very good game - not even worth finishing.
The time thing drove me nuts. There is nothing worse than trying to figure something out and running out of time (even in slow-mo) and then reseting the clock and not knowing which things you have to spend hours and hours to do over or which things don't matter. On top of that, you have to figure out the regular stuff to do(which, if you've played any other Zelda game, is a difficult task in and of itself)...
The save thing is annoying too. What's with the owls? They got rid of that. Basically, you can't save the game unless you touch an owl or restart your day (and if you use an owl, you have to quit your game)... later, you can transport to an owl but it still drove me nuts.
Did it seem a little buggy? The game shut down on me twice. No points off for this cuz that could just be me.
I did give this game a few points because there were times (when the clock wasn't resetting or close to being reset) that I had fun.
I'm sorry, I tried. But this Zelda isn't for all the link fans.
