11 Video Games That Taught You Valuable Life Lessons

It is perhaps a cruel joke that the possibilities of time are infinite, yet the lives of men are finite. Link, adventuring once again in the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, soon comes to terms with the fact he has limited time to save Clock Town from the impending doom of the moon.

The timing mechanics of Majora's Mask test players with stringent time-management issues, lest their hours of effort will fail to yield anything but utter failure. This provides an appropriate reflection on life, where often it seems like we have all the time and years to achieve our dreams and goals, only to eventually come to the realisation that life is too late in the night or an opportunity has passed you by, and the dream becomes an unrealised forever.
