The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds should take roughly eighteen and a half hours to fully complete, according to a Dutch website that have managed to get their hands on the game. With more and more pre-release copies being sent out it shouldn’t take too long to find out an average completion time for Link’s long-awaited adventure on Nintendo 3DS. Is eighteen hours playtime enough for you?
Thanks, Nick
Eighteen and a half hours?
That’s really not bad at all, given most games nowadays seem to be completed in ten hours or less.
I know right, anyone remember Metroid Prime? That game took forever to beat.
Nintendo should make an HD prime collection, and a new Metroid Prime!
Yes!! They should! In 1080p 60FPS, just one thing…. NO SHITTY WII CONTROLS!!!
1080P 60FPS? Ha, still better than Xbox One ;)
Screw that; have the option for all the controller types. Wiimote Plus, Game Pad, and Classic Pros.
Variety is the spice of life and it wouldn’t hurt you a damned bit to give others the option.
Maybe it would hurt him :P The Wii remote is dangerous you know ;)
:D
Their should be no Pro controllers, Classic controllers or Wiimotes and just have the GamePad :( And use the GamePad at it’s full potential :)
I prefer the Wii U controllers actually, what they could do is give you different control options
Ah Metroid Prime and Wii Motion Plus is perfection.
considering the original ALTTP took 16h average just to beat the main story http://www.howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=10028
Then this is pretty good! If it’s a good average aprox, then that will make it the longest handheld Zelda (aside from OOT 3D). So yes, it’s plenty enough
The site mentions that it’s 18.5 hours for 100%, so according to HowLongToBeat it won’t be the longest.
The major Zelda games take about 30 hours, taking your time but without doing all the subquests.
Actually games like Windwaker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword take about 40 hours when just doing a casual playthrough.
First!
Lol i hate myself
I’m not believing anything until the game comes out…
That’s a good amount of time, not too long, not too short (even though I love how I’ve spent 40 hours on Twilight Princess and I haven’t beaten it and it’s my 6th time replaying it, long games are good)
18,5 to fully complete, good job nintedno, ya pieces of shiiet, fuck you aonuma
A lot better than the measly 8 hours that I heard it takes to complete Super Mario 3D World. But still, that’s not even a full day. Imagine if a person was really good at the game and finished it in one day. Fortunately, I don’t think that ANYBODY can achieve that.
yeah but 8 hours wasnt 100%. this site is stating 18.5 hours to fully complete
Challenge accepted… I can’t wait any longer.
Better than what shitty-ass Killzone is going to be.
8-10 hours flat.
Fuck you, Donko, and the limp Sony cock you so willingly ride into here every single fucking day.
Killzone is acutally 6h
Why would you bring up Killzone at such an unrelated point ? Insulting fanboys of other companies when you are one yourself. Pathetic.
yes, but it has mp, so it adds up to your playtime
Cod : Ghost 5h30
I was hoping for 20 hours, but hey, clise enough.
Don’t forget they’re adding a New Game+ Mode where the game’s harder. So two playthroughs = 37 hours perhaps?
yes, you imbecile, that should count, motherfucker, we can as well count the rest of our life because you can play it nonstop
people really need to stop caring about playtime so much
Not for the pricetag they’re retailing at.
That’s a decent time, but I hope it only means the main game. Worth it if not, but awesome if so.
I’m Dutch. Website says: 18 and half hours for 100%, sorry.
18 hours? That I doubt I expect this game to beaten 4-5 hours going fast and if any glitches are found
16 hours is what it took, roughly, when taking your time in ALTTP, not rushing or glitching.
Longer with secrets.
So it’s not that hard to believe that the sequel gets an extra couple of hours tacked on for the main quest, and a bunch more hours for completing all the side quests.
how can you know that it’ll have more sidequests, don’t assume, you fucking piece of shit, also, this game came out 20 years after alttp, so SHUT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK UP
I ADORE the Snes Classic and you can 100% complete that in a few hours. 18 and a half seems like a massive game.
So, you never player alttp?
Just to be clear: The website says 18.5 hours for 100% completion. Which seems decent for a handheld game. Certainly not massive. If it was 18.5 hours just for a normal playthrough, it would be amazing.
Yes i’m okay with that. Only question is how much of a great the game it will be.
well link to the past was like 13-14 hours
Well, that really means about 12 hours for veteran Zelda players
how do you know it’s not a veteran zelda player who tested it?
Maybe because I know the game so well now, but I can tackle 100% LttP in maybe 5-6 hours, tops. It would have taken me around that 18 or more hours the first few times I beat it, so this is acceptable, if true.
think it took me around 14
i didn’t exactly time it of course but it was slightly shorter than terranigma afair
sorry guys im still pissed at god for my tiny penis
well i must get back to letting my dad work me over for cash
that’s not bad considering there’s a hero mode. can’t wait.
That Sucks Majoras Mask takes exactly 3 days
Haha..haha…ha
Not bad at all, kind of what I was expecting. I think thats how many hours I put into most 2D Zelda games.
If this is true then that game will be very long at least in my terms. I don’t have nearly enough time to even finish a ten hour game these days
It’s weird, right?–because A Link to the Past is such a fast-paced game that can be completed in an afternoon…. Do we want A Link Between Worlds to be THAT much longer?

The original Link to the Past is my favorite all time game, beaten it at least 5 times. One summer as a 13 year old I did it all in one day, playing close to 15 hours. Nice the new one is just as deep.
