There's no on-screen timer, but the computer voice counts down the minutes in real time, not at scripted points. I intentionally let it run down one time just to see.

Also, there's the part where you have to escape from the Spire before it crashes.

I like turtles.
If you look out the window during the Norion thing at a certain point, you can watch the Leviathan come closer and closer and eventually crash.  So yes, you can fail.

Yeah. I didn't realize you could fail it at first. Thus when I took too long....

Time bomb set get out fast!
Another fun "looks fake but really isn't" countdown is in Zelda: The Minish Cap. There's a bell ringing, and on the third ring Zelda will be killed. The first two rings are scripted, but if you take too long to beat the Darknuts, you really get a third ring. The time limit is generous, though.

Really? Huh, I never had that happen to me. Even on a minimalist run, where I had no sword techniques beyond the normal spin attack. Those Darknuts are a pain in the ass without the great spin.
