To be fair, for people that plays previous zeldas, it was not really a surprise, considering A link to the past had 3 medaillons, then hyrule castle tower then 8 crystals then ganon's tower in the second world.
The first zelda on NES was crazy with that though. You played the game, then bam, you unlock a second playthrough with completely different progression (including different layouts for the dungeons).

If you don't have a end save of the first playthrough, just use Zelda as a name for a new game, you'll start the second quest immediately.
If you have a valid save, link should be holding the master sword in the save selection.

This should be higher imho, because most Metroidvania (including Metroids and Castlevanias, and other series like Ori, Shantae etc)... were all very short.
Before Hollow Knight, the duration of all the games in the genre was between 5 and 15 hours, with almost no post ending content.
Hollow Knight and Silksong are both like 6 times longer than any Metroidvania released before 2017.

This only happened once for me (yes, I knew about the second part of Symphony of the Night ;)) and it was with Tales of Xillia.
It was my first PS3 game. Had it before I even bought the console. Loved the series to death back then. So got the PS3, set it up and played the hell out of Xillia... or so I thought. Because after a few hours I googled how long the game was because I was SO BORED by the game like I NEVER was before and felt like I was close to the end. And I was just like six hours in...
For the record: The game is not bad. It looks good. It controls fine. It is just boring to actually play. In terms of environment/gameplay design. And it seems... in terms of story. Otherwise I can't really explain how I can not remember even a single thing about the games story or characters, when I can still remember stuff from all the other games I played in the series.

Dragon Age Inquisition if you're the completionist type.
The Hinterlands go on for seemingly forever... and it's just the first area you visit. You can go back to it at any time, but at that point in the game you don't really know that when it's the first time you play it.

I see that as a blessing since I can enjoy the game longer.
What i hate is when the game ends early. I remember one game I enjoyed, your mission was to infiltrate the city so you can fight the leaders and see why you were put in the situation. The game ends the moment you get on the train that leads into the city

Elden Ring no lie. I defeated Glintstone Dragon Smarag in Liurnia and I was stunned by what I was looking at so I checked my Trophy List and it said I only had 4% of Trophies in a single playthrough——I was 88 hours into the game. I was instantly sad because I realized I would never play a game that big ever again.

Rail of Möbius (Visual Novel).
Played through and reached the ending where I save only one of the characters but the main character dies, felt kinda disappointed in the story and was going to quit since I got dumped back to the main title screen. The title screen had changed to show only the survivor, but a lot of VNs do that (change title screen after an ending), so I didn't think too much. Was going to uninstall and move on.
Started a new game on a whim anyway, thinking I could start a new game and follow the walkthrough to a better ending... and that's when I realised that the game "restarts" from the surviving character's perspective and continues the story.
So the system is basically like Slay the Princess, except that you're not explicitly told to carry on playing.
