This is during Majora's Mask, through Link's point of view. It was originally titled "Time", but the title has since been changed so it is closer to the mark.

The clock ticks.
Circles spinning.
Around and round.
Counting down.
'
I'm always running.
I'm always racing.
Racing against
an opponent
who never lets me
win.
'
No time for stopping!
No time for waiting!
Hurry now!
Almost there!
Almost done!
Hurry up!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Hurry!
'
The circles spin
around and round.
Counting down.
I wonder why
it's counting down
when it's counting
around?
'
The concluding note
of the flute
is the starting pistol
for our race.
'
The race that
never seems to
end.
'
My opponent
is always
one more step
ahead of me.
Just around
that corner.
Just beyond
that door.
Just up
that stair.
Always
ahead.
'
It takes its time.
It always
takes its time.
And yet
it always
wins.
'
The forever ticking
of the clock
tells me
I am
too slow.
'
Each tick and tock
is another call
to make me
press on.
Hurry!
Hurry!
Hurry!
'
The clock ticks.
Circles spinning.
Around and round.
Always the same.
Like each race
I hopelessly
begin again.
'
Is there
no end?
Can I ever win
in a race against
time?
'
The clocks hangs
on the wall.
Mocking me.
Too slow!
it ticks.Too slow!
'
Again and again.
I lose.
Only to hopelessly
try again.
And
lose again.
'
Again and again.
'
An endless cycle.
Around and round.
'
Hurry!
Hurry!
Too slow!
'
There is no end
to this game
I play
with time.
I always lose.
But I always
try again.
'
And I always lose
anyway.
'
I am doomed
to lose.
'
The clock
laughs at me.
Fool!
Fool!
Fool!
'
The moon
inches closer.
I don't care.
I can't win.
I give up.
I give in.
'
The moon hits.
'
Time wins.
For good. . .
