A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Did you make much use of the Inverted Song of Time? I was in the same situation as you the first time I really played MM, I putzed around in the game as a young kid and then actually tried to beat it as an adult. I'm no pro gamer by a long shot but the inverted song of time basically made the time mechanic a non-issue for me.
When you're thinking about what to do next, try to divide the game into major milestones (pre-temple stuff, temples themselves, etc) and then follow the loop of (1) slow time (2) do major milestone (3) go back to town, deposit money, start over. It's a little tedious, I know, but tbh I think taking small breaks to collect yourself between major milestones is a good way to approach adventure games anyways.
And, as the others said, you're shooting yourself in the foot if you ignore the side quests completely. If you do all of them, the final boss will be one of the most fun, one-sided beatdowns in video game history :D
Since I’m dreading the side quest stuff, I’m thinking of just getting a complete save file so I can check out the final boss fight. Since I beat it as a kid, I don’t feel bad about cheating to get to it.
I would recommend at least playing through, or maybe watching a video of, Anju and Kafei's Quest. No other video game side quest has depressed me as much as that one did lol
It seems what everyone really loved about this game are the story lines. I don’t care much for storylines in gaming. I just want some fun games.
There are a few exceptions, but it’s not what I’m looking for in a Zelda game.
Yeah you’re probably right. The creepypasta BEN Drowned helped with extending that love for me lol
That quest was such a slog, but worth it
