See I don't think OoT has a slow start. I think it has a weak start from a writing perspective as there's no world or character building whatsoever (barring the one bit of somewhat interesting exposition about the Triforce) but that's par for the course for OoT :P. Give me an opening that establishes characters and setting and why I should care over one that leaves the "reason I should care" to my immagination any day. But I can also see OoT being viewed as "slow". Yeah you get to gameplay fast but the game doesn't seem to start to have much gravity to it until a bit further in. |
I don't think it having much "gravity" to it is a reason to call it slow. Very quickly, you're already exploring, fighting and solving puzzles, just as you do in the rest of the game. You could argue after leaving Kokiri Forest, it's kind of slow, but the actual beginning of the game is in no way slow.
