I really didn't spend that much time finding the triforce pieces and I didn't think it was that annoying. But I also came in knowing about the triforce quest so it wasn't a surprise for me. I also really liked that part in Link's hometown where you had to fight through dozens and dozens of rooms of enemies just to get a triforce map. I loved that.
I have to admit that I really like it when games aren't too long. I play so many games and have so many unfinished games lying on my shelf that it's a great relief when I don't have to spend more than twenty hours to finish one. If it's a quality experience then I really don't care how long it is. I beat ICO in just eight hours yet that was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I've ever had, so for me length really isn't an issue. I play games like Metroid and Zelda and have the time of my life while they last and then visit them again from time to time and then play games like F-Zero or Battlefield 1942 on a regular basis, but it's a very different kind of enjoyment. I liken games like Battlefield or F-Zero to tacos or sandwiches, foods that I eat a bit of on a regular basis, and games like Metroid and Zelda to four-course meals which are so rich that you can't have them every day.
