I've had it. This is my fourth time attempting to play this game. From what i've played, i can easily say this could be my favourite Zelda game. But no. Nintendo had to implement the stupidest save system i have ever used to date.
So i'm near the end of the 2nd dungeon (Snowhead Temple); i had the item, and i just finished collecting ALL of those damn stray fairies (which takes half the time in the dungeon). Just after i collect the last fairy, i approach the door the final room and boom. Link stops moving, and the audio is making this high pitched buzz. I try EVERYTHING i could possibly think of to get it working again, but alas there was no way.
I was terrified to shut down the game. I had spent a minimum of 2.5 hours working my way up to the temple getting every side item and such. Now i had saved right outside the temple; it wouldn't piss me off as much if i was allowed to resume when i last saved. But no. Apparently that is not allowed. ANYTIME you shut down the game, you MUST save at an owl or you will resume at the beginning of the three day cycle with everything you've done completely forgot of.
Tell me Nintendo, you know things will happen such as power outages or glitches in the system. Why the hell would you put in such a terrible way of saving that only allows people to have their file safe of restarting when they AREN'T playing the game?
I know this is an old game, but i've played every zelda and i've kept this one for last because everyone says it's one of the greatest. I guess i'll never know.
Maybe i'll pick it up again in a month or so. But damn....
