Okay here's my problem-

I am thirty, married and we have an 18 month old son and to boot I spend a lot of extra hours at my company.  SO, needless to say I have limited gaming time after family and work.

I have been gaming since the early 80's and have enjoyed every Zelda game I have played.  (never played a handheld zelda)  I'm debating on whether to purchase LoZTP, not b/c I'll be let down, but b/c I'm worried my lack of play time will actually take away from the experience.  My play time is sporadic, sometimes several times a week for a couple hours AT MOST to only once or twice a week for an hour or less.

In your opinion, will inconsistant and short play durations lessen the experience to the point of not enjoying the game?

Thanks!

Your story is identicle to mine, with the exception of a child, and I am 31. I say buy it, the game is more broken up into specific quests than the other Zeldas. There is not as much of a free-roaming feel so you don't end up feeling disconnected from the game if you haven't played for awhile.

i'm in the same boat,2 kids( baby and a toddler). I'm fitting in 1 and 2 hour bursts here and there, I'm enjoying it immensely, however it is a bit more difficult to remember some of the plot and cut-scene connections at times.
but my missus has already completed it and can answer any questions i have,lol.

Now there's a lucky guy.  My wife likes to play Wii Bowling, and WarioWare, so she's not a total non-gamer, but a woman who plays and can beat Zelda, that's a rare gem.
