" Zelda game are small. It's just the truth."
What games, in your view then, are "big"?
[/waits for a list of tile-based RPG games]
oh, and Banjo Kazooie is not bigger then Zelda.
Great game though it is, its still only 15-20 hours at most, and it doesnt have a streaming landscape at all.
Oh, and the fact that you can get accross the landscape so fast in zelda is a good thing.
Because its boring to travel ages and not get anywhere (read;Wind Waker, or X:Beyond of the Frontier at the start).
Time does not corralated to Size, because you forgot to factor in Speed.

Anyway, ontopic;
Not sure about the time limit in this.
Majoras Mask was a wonderfull game and its time limit made absolute sense plotwise.
Like it or not, it was the whole point of the game.
Majoras Mask = "Groundhog3days"
The timelimit wasnt there to make the game longer, it was merely a side effect of having a complete 3 days worth of charecter movements and scripted interactions planned out.
The time limit *didnt even apply* in dungoens.
But this game the reasoning seems less logical, and the timelimit is only in dungeons.
Seems the opersite of Majoras Mask in many ways.
Still looking forward too it very much, however.
