the game is played through the dungeons with the overworld of Hyrule used for side quests and exploring. Most of the locations in the game exist for a purpose in the story, not much is left after the story is done that won’t have missed. However, the side quests will allow you to explore and take advantage of all the little nooks and crannies hanging around the land. The secondary tasks in the game aren’t essential to the story but they’re actually fun. There’s also a bunch of mini games loitering around the towns and locals in the game. There’s also quests and game elements that span time, yes time. It’s in the title after all. , you might not know that the game spans goes across time periods. You start off as Link, the young boy with a task way too big for his boots, but later on the game twists and you’re propelled seven years in to the future. This time travel is kind of different to most movies as Link also ages and becomes a strapping young man. Unfortunately, while seven years in the Temple of Time have allowed Link to age gracefully, the rest of Hyrule suffered quite badly. Link emerges from the Temple of Time and the once lively Castle Town has been abandoned and destroyed, Hyrule Caste has been destroyed and in place hover Ganon’s Castle. Further outside the city, the rest of the land doesn’t fair too well, with people displaced and everyone living in the fear of Ganon, it’s not a pretty place to be. It’s kind of sad really, and to see people displaced and in some cases, dead, and you’re directly involved; well, you can’t just sit back and let that happen right?
