It is for a non-Pokémon Zelda title.
And I completed it 100% and did some general fooling around. I would take a lot longer than that to complete Link's Awakening 100%, probably the Oracle games as well. Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past, while okay they're originally console titles, took me longer to do less. It's too bad the DS didn't keep time, but I'm fairly certain Phantom Hourglass took a similar amount of hours, but I not nearly got everything there was to find (because I didn't care enough), and Spirit Tracks was longer as well.
Even when comparing to non-Zelda titles, it took me 25 hours to complete Super Mario 3D Land, and I didn't get half the Star-coins. Or RE: Revelations or Luigi's Mansion 2, which took me around 25-30 hours as well. Zelda games are usually longer than linear level-based games like these three. Yet ALBW is barely. I blame the small dungeons.
At least I'm glad it's twice as long as the incredibly short Minish Cap and ten times as long as Four Swords. And there's the replay-value of the Hero Mode as well, so in the end it's still a fairly minor complaint
