Really? I never really thought of restart and save points as being that big a deal, but then again, I grew up with Zelda 1 and 2, the first one having ONE restart point, the start of the game, and the second one having TWO start points, the start of the game, and blessingly, the last palace should you die there. Having adapted to speeding in about a minute right back to wherever I was wherever I might have died in those games, the restarting points of later games were nothing major. LTTP had PLENTY enough for my tastes, and LA was downright frivilous :D.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
