Within Zelda there have been some common themes and concepts that have reappeared some more than others but one concept that I feel is quite evident is "time".
Now the reason why I pick out time is because it's quite an odd theme to reoccur, however within Zelda it seems that this idea has become, somewhat, staple. Now I know that some people exaggerate when mentioning time in Zelda games, because when it is featured, it usually only plays a small role in the grand scheme but one can't deny that it is a reoccurring concept.
Now if I recall, time has been present in seven installment thus far, nearly half of the franchise and each time it has played somewhat of a different role. The likes of Ocarina of Time used at as a plot narrative while games like Oracle of Ages and Majora's Mask include the manipulation of it, then you have a game like Twilight Princess in which the idea of time makes a brief appearance.
So how would you describe your feelings towards the concept of "time" in the Zelda series? Do you think it has been successful or do you think it has been rather redundant?
