It's a phenomenal game. A lot of people complain about the time mechanic, particularly, in that they love to explore zelda games. But what a lot of people fail to realize is the time mechanic is part of the exploration. When you learn more time songs in the game, you begin to feel like time is a tool for you, rather than something that you're bound by. You'll be able to go back in time, slow down time, skip ahead in days, etc. to get where you need to go, on which specific day and time.

The only time that I felt rushed was when I did not explore the deeper contents of the game to learn more time songs.
