It is kind of annoying, I really looked forward to seeing a peaceful Hyrule in OoT when I first finished. Strange that the Minish Cap asks you to save though, none of the others do (except WW, but that starts a new game).

But to fight and to fight, when hope's out of sight-
Why, that's the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout
All broken and beaten and scarred,
Just have one more try- it's dead easy to die!
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard."
