<p>One of the things we <em>really</em> like about Nintendo Switch is the fact that it keeps a record of how many hours you’ve played a game for, so you can add up just how much of your life you’ve poured down the metaphorical sink; time you will never, <em>ever</em> get back.</p>
<p>Sorry, where were we? <em>Oh yes</em>, that play time counter. It’s a great means of seeing which titles have captivated you the most, and we’re sure that many of you will have invested a fair number of hours into <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild">Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a></strong> – it was a launch game, after all, but it also helps that it’s <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/the_legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild_is_officially_one_of_the_best_games_of_all_time">one of the best video games of all time.</a></p>
<p>However, even if you consider yourself to be something of a Breath of the Wild veteran, we doubt very much that you’ve put as much time into the game as <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/SamirAIDMAN">Samir AID</a>:</p>

<p>That’s right – he’s clocked up so many hours in the game that he has maxed out the play time counter, which stops at 9,999 hours – or, if you prefer, 416 Days and 15 Hours (or 599,940 minutes). That’s equivalent to launching <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/splatoon_2">Splatoon 2</a></strong> and watching Marina and Pearl discuss the current stages 448,107 times.</p>
<p>We can’t imagine many people will get anywhere near that total – even in an epic like Breath of the Wild – but does the fact that there’s a hard limit on the counter bother you?</p>
<p>Go on, admit it – <em>it kinda does, right?</em></p>
