I had always thought about that when playing Metroid games. I mean, unless they all have hover vehicles no one in the Mettroid universe is getting anywhere
True, but I seriously doubt that ALL of the water in the game was running (pools, oceans, lakes, puddles etc.) Also, vampires couldn't cross the (running) water by boat/bridge/flying/swimming/jumping/hopping/leaping/skipping/rolling, (sometimes I suppose that running water could kill vampires though)(that last point was very redundant wasn't it?)
You forgot timeshift's neverending rain. Actually, that may be false, as if I remember correctly, the rain does eventually stop. I could very well be wrong as I'm sure many of you know, the game was not very memorable. In any case,In certain city levels you can here a dictator kind of dude (Or reporter?) explain that they screwed up some experiment in weather manipulation(And goes on to say it will eventually stop), thus explaining the downpour. This was all to exploit Timeshift's pretty rain effects when pausing slowing or rewinding time.
No Okami on the respawning one? Come on, mirrors that store your memories. That is quite contrived. And when has Link ever acted emo? And one final stab, IT TAKES YOU 40 HOURS TO BEAT A ZELDA GAME? YOU SUCK!
