Time limits aren't the worst, sometimes, in my opinion. As long as
there's some way to refill or stop the timer, and its not "go back to
the start" on failure, I can tolerate it. The BEST timer in a game would
probably be like, Majoras Mask, since it was actually designed around it
and isn't (that) punishing.
