Shut Up, Kaepora Gaebora
May 14, 2011
Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a time-honored classic, but it's not a perfect game. Water Temple aside, its biggest flaw involves a certain exposition owl that just will not shut up. Whenever Kaepora Gaebora shows up, Link's quest comes to a momentary halt so that he can spout endless jabber about the various tasks at hand, but his dialogue is unskippable and drones on and on. It's not uncommon for players to hammer away at the A button to try and speed up his speeches, but unfortunately the last thing that the blasted owl asks is always "Would you like to hear that again?", and since players are usually bashing that A button nonstop by this point, well... Brawl In The Family transposes this experience directly to Link himself in the "Advice" comic. Poor Link. Some problems are universal.
