Maybe if you're doing it for the very first time and need to learn the controls and concepts of the game. Otherwise, the opening is a couple of minutes at most.

The owl shows up a handful of times and takes a few seconds to skip through.

What note quest are you talking about? You mean getting the letter from Zelda as part of the story so you can go to the next dungeon?

Your complaints are kinda soft, not gonna lie.

A couple minutes. What? You have to chat to a half dozen people, find money to buy something, go through a small maze, go back and forth between a couple places, and the likes before you get to dungeon.

Owl takes more than a few seconds.

Yes, that note, and its awkward busywork the way it was handled, though Im sure theres an optimal route the mitigates that but would be something either lucked into or known in advance.

You can disagree with my complaints, but you not being bothered by something doesnt mean others cant be. And thats all coupled with a clunky and slow combat system that, while revolutionary, hasnt aged well.

OoT was a watershed moment and they nailed the mood, but a heck of a lot of it doesnt hold up at all. None of my kids remotely had the patience to go far with it, despite heavy prodding from my wife fyi (my younger son loved Majoras Mask though, so go figure) and if I ventured a guess a majority of adults who never played it would find it to be a chore of a game if they tried it now.
