For me, I could never beat Wind Waker because of the figurines sidequest. What about you, has a side quest ever stopped you from beating a game?

I never even beat the original version of TWW 100% either because of the Nintendo Gallery. Also, I don't think I'll ever 100% BotW because I already know collecting all the Korok Seeds is pointless.

It could be either a hundred percent or just beating it in general.
the only sidequest I can think of that could prevent you from beating a game is the trading sequence in link's awakening, no others would do so unless I'm mistaken
by the way, I am one of those mad men that did complete the nintendo gallery in the original, knuckle included

WW that pointless trading sidequest to get Magic Armor or another heart piece, WW Watering the magic saplings, WW Treasure Charts, TP the poes, OOT, the Big Poes, OOT the Skultulas, MM Great Bay Skulltula House.
All these things have stopped me at one point or another

Wait, do you mean beating the main game or 100%ing a game?
I’m seriously debating whether or not to let the guard minigame prevent me from 100%inf ST or not.

I never finished the figurines in WW or the Korok seeds in BoTW. I did otherwise complete everything in those games though. Interestingly I don't think I've ever completed a playthrough of MM without completing 100% because I love the sidequests in that game so much. In OoT I've completed the game 100% several times, but a few times I have done 100% minus all fishing rewards because I hate fishing in that game.

I'm not an overly obsessive completionist, but there are a few games where sidequest rewards necessary for either some significant payoff or essential item down the road done incorrectly or being unable to finish after passing a point of no return in the main game have caused me to rage quit.
It's a massive dick move by developers and makes me feel cheated. It's insulting. And has caused me no shortage of hate for numerous devs on more than a few occasions.
After suffering through Final Fantasy XII I finally quit when I reached the part where the devs aggressively screw you over with a trap that prohibits you from obtaining the game's ultimate weapon. I'd even heard of this ahead of time and still didn't avoid it. Whoever thought this was okay should be flogged. The grind was getting bad enough before they pull this bs but that was more than the last straw. Instant rage quit.
There are a few RPGs where making a certain choice or not being sufficiently prepared unknowingly results in a character's death later.
Other times it is just me being stupidly OCD. The silliest instance of this is that time I deleted my game of Resident Evil 4 because I hadn't collected one of the gems I needed to complete the treasure mask. It was the easiest one too. For some reason I thought I grabbed it but I hadn't. And once you leave the area it's in you can't return. This was even after replaying a boss fight a few times to ensure that I got one of the other gems.

Oh I think the only games I 100%ed are MM3DS and ALbW. But I did beat the games in general. I don't really care about 100%ing a game. If the game is interesting enough for me I do try to complete as many sidequests as I can. But I don't really mind
if we can mention non zeldas, xenoblade 2'a torna DLC has these two awful instances of halting story progression unless you beat a certain amount of sidequests, and both of them irked me to hell, especially the story reason for the 2nd time where malos was like 'imma wait in the last boss area', and someone was like 'hey shouldn't we go after him?', and lora was like 'nah, he said he'll wait, lets slack off for two weeks'
....its so FREAKING stupid, I easily could've quit right there and then
