Well, I am sorry if I sounded too harsch. I apologize. But what I am doing is defending my opinion ( the one I have built so far, if I finish OoT it may change) which is that TP is as good or even better than OoT.
I didn't notice the game (TP) being too long. For me it was fantastic. Long enough. And now that some people is saying it, OoT looks longer TO ME! (When you are having fun time flies)
Soma:
I don't mind using guides and I do it if I feel stuck. I used a guide playing TP but it was only a couple of times. Playing OoT I've had to look the guide frequently! If the game is way too hard TO ME, to the point of being boring and frustrating, then it is not a good game TO ME. In that sense, TP was perfectly balanced for me. Challenging and yet fun to play.
