I'm addicted to Twilight Princess and can't wait to beat it but it's so damn long.  I play about 2 hours on average about 3~4 times a week and it feels like I'm not gonna be beating it anytime soon.

How long did it take you all to finish the game?

Wait...someone's complaining about a game being TOO LONG?! That's different. And, for that matter, ridiculous. Long games are good if they're engaging the entire time. And, as this seems to be the case for Zelda, there should be no reason to complain.

I've never seen someone complain about a game being too long.  This is like complaining that your wife wants to have sex too much.

I beat TP is about 4 days..........but that's only because I played for about 11 hours each day....

There's really nothing wrong with a long game.It may take forever to beat,but it's still awesome.

It took me about 30 hours to beat the game, and then another 10 to 15 hours to collect absolutely everything through side quests and stuff.  Just play the game a little at a time each day, and you'll be fine.  It'll definitely be worth it.

You can probably beat TP in less than 20 hours if you use a detailed walkthrough.  The boss fights, for the most part, are pretty easy.  It's not like Metroid Prime where even if you know how to beat an enemy you still have to be good.

If you're addicted to something, you cant have too much of it, that would defy the purpose and meaning of addiction. If you're really addicted to the new Zelda, you should be greatful.

I'm taking my sweet time with Zelda and cherishing every minute of it. 40 hours in and I just picked up the master sword. i spent a lot of time lure fishing and chicken gliding over lake Hylia. I don't want this game to ever end...

i only played it an hour and a half or 2 hours a day too, but i never thought it was too long. i liked the fact that after a couple weeks i still had more to do. usually after that period of time i have long since beaten a game.

I think its too short! I would have loved for it to be a 70 hour game with 90 hours to complete it 100%.

It took me 69 hours to beat zelda. Just short of 70 hours...something like 69 hours 48 minutes. I did quite a bit of sidequesting, but barely any fishing which i really regret. I didn't find damn Upper Zora's river until late late late in the game lmao. So i didn't start fishing until after the SPOILERS palace of twilight. I am sure that if i had started fishing earlier, I would have played for an extra 4-5 hours. I didn't do a lot of canoeing either. I missed a lot of the zora-related stuff and still managed 69 hours. I did a lot of secret-finding though. If you take the time to get off Epona and walk around hyrule, you'll find some neat stuff.
