I think the concept of time and stress are directly linked to the feelings that Aonuma felt while making the game it was his first shot at a mainline Zelda and he had a little over a year, maybe not purposefully but most certainly subconsciously his anxiety’s, pressures and stress from undertaking such a big task with huge time constraints to be near or better than ocarina of time seeped into the games overall vibe.
It even got me thinking deeply about side quests, And how when you go back in time things you’d achieved people you’d helped and situations you’d been in were all forgotten.
Again maybe it’s a bit of a stretch but it could be that during development of this game certain aspects Aonuma wanted to Include just weren't possible due to time Constraints. And maybe the hopelessness we feel in game knowing we’d completed certain side quests but forced to play the song of time directly mirrored the same frustrations of the Dev team not being able to feesibly channel there whole creative outlet due to the enormous task and time constraints.
The game is marvellous but I’ve never really seen anybody tie the real world constraints of time together with the obvious mechanics in play.
Thanks for reading would love to know people thoughts.
