Thats why I love Zelda and very little other adventure games. Zelda has the same feeling of freedom like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />. It also has some large side quests that follow trough the game(collect 100 skulls for a better weapon). IMO I should be able to go get my skeleton doll even when I am in Act 4. yes it could take a while to get back to it but it your chose. I have nothing against area's that are locked in the beginning of the game. I do have a problem that when one area opens an other one closes. Personally I understand it's easier to work with acts. It makes bug searching easy and makes the patching easy. And it has other huge advantages but it's like that drug that raises your libido but it makes you loose your hair.

Or like Johan Kruijff says:

Ieder voordeel 'ebts zen nadeel

Every advantage has it's disadvantage.
