So, finished Alundra (clocked in at 19 hours) which was three hours faster than my first time playing through the game (though that was some good 11 years ago 
).
This time I did manage to get all the Gilded Falcons and Life Vessels (including the dreadfully long, painful and trully mindfuckery that is the Roulette mini-game) plus spent some time messing around to get the Legend Sword (game breaking item, it's 3 times as powerful as the second most powerful other sword in the game, though you need to meet certain conditions to get it, and at late game it takes too long to meet them) to never use it xD.
Optional stuff aside (which probably took as long as the main game itself), the game was as great as I remembered it. I completely suggest it to any Zelda fan
