The new boss battles mean that it takes more time to win, so my already tight schedule had to be completely adjusted.

I used to finish the game 100% within five cycles (the deku scrub one included), but in the remake I had to postpone the Pic Hibernia Temple to the third cycle, even though I usually had plenty of spare time during the second cycle. This meant that I was forced to six cycles overall because there was barely anything to do during the third one. Although the primary reason for the delay was taking too much time on day 1 of cycle 2, wandering through the town to talk to all people and see if there are any new sidequests; later on I needed more than one try on various minigames, so the cushion of about 20 hours I used to have for cycle 2 quickly evaporated.

However, it's also worth noting that my usual cycle 3-5 schedule didn't work out because there's a good bunch of things that take longer now because of the new Zora mechanics. That wasn't a real issue though, because in my original schedule there was a lot spare time during cycle 4 and 5, so postponing some of the big things didn't have any negative impact. It actually made cycle 4 and 5 (5 and 6 in my playthrough of the remake) more enjoyable because they weren't primarily focused on wrapping up sidequests that ruled each other out during previous cycles.

I'll replay the game and see what I can manage during cycle 2. It's of very high importance to finish both the swamp and the mountains during this cycle, so I may have to cut some sidequests and spread them out to later cycles.

Will you be reviewing the 3DS version?
