Let’s face it: We’ve all had those moments when we’re playing a game and get stuck on something so frustrating that it makes us question our ability to play. And during those times, we may have had to look up a guide online.
While some gamers might not like to admit they needed help to finish a game, a recent Reddit thread allowed gamers to vent about those moments where they hated themselves for not be able to figure something out after looking something up. The Reddit user who originally started the thread used it to talk about their frustrations about getting to Rusty Bucket Bay in Banjo-Kazooie and the water temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The latter game sparked several different responses from multiple games in the Zelda franchise. While the series isn’t known for its difficulty, many of its puzzles and dungeons have tripped up even the most seasoned Zelda players. Whether it’s a very frustrating shrine in Breath of the Wild or a confusing puzzle in Phantom Hourglass that requires you to literally close your Nintendo DS to solve it, Nintendo is always surprising their player base with its brain-teasing puzzles.
