The past few Zelda titles have been notorious for their lengthy introductions. Games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have take a relatively long period of time just to reach the first dungeon.

The same can’t be said of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Kotaku reports that players will find themselves in the game’s first dungeon in about five minutes.

How does that stack up to some of the other Zeldas? It takes 70 minutes to reach the first dungeon in Skyward Sword, 20 minutes to arrive at the first dungeon in Ocarina of Time, and 2 minutes to enter the castle basement in A Link to the Past.
