It took me 48 hours, not including some major side quests. But i took my time. Perhaps the average is 40 hours?? And just a heads up: the first 4 hours of Twilight Princess arn't very exciting, but once you get past that the game is phenomonal.

It took me 62 hours to beat it, but I like to take my time with games. I don't like completing sidequests after I'm done with the main quest, so I go back and forth between them before ending the game. Still, I didn't collect all the poes (~40), or insects for that matter (10 left).

My first time without side quest (the big ones anyway) was around 35 or 36 hours. THen side quest probably take around another 10-20 hours depending on how many of the you want to do.

The people who say they beat it within 30 hours are either lying or they did a speed run through it because this is by far one of the longest games thats been released in awhile. It took me roughly 45 hours to beat and thats with doing miminal side quests and no poe collecting. If you don't do a speed run you can expect anywhere between 40-60 hours, and then the side quests and poes will take you about 10-20 hours more to complete. You'll want to explore everything as well since the land of hyrule is more beautiful than ever this time around.

Longest games that's been released in a while? No. Try almost every RPG.

By me following the Prima Strategy Guide, It took me 55 hours.When Ibeat the game, I was 90% complete. I got everything there is to get and do expect, I was missing 30 poe souls. (Which is pointless getting anyway).

Question: 35 hours into the game now and just arrived at the Snowpeak Ruins. How much longer at this leisurely pace can I expect to finish?

About 35 hours, but this Zelda is different compared to most. Most Zelda games have average dungeons, and hard bosses. This one is way different, the dungeons are pretty damn hard, and the bosses are really easy.

I can't believe so many people beat it that fast. It took me 61 hours and I didn't even get 100% (pretty close though). I just take my time with games like this though and never use a guide, so searching for poes, insects, etc can take a very long time.
