Stupidity

[Destiny]

Mine was in TP when you are trying to get the bridge because the shadow beasts warped it, {The wooden Bridge} I couldn't see it because my screen was dark so I ran around for weeks trying to find that stupid bridge n.n

 

[February Eve]

One of mine came in the bomb shack in TP. When you're collecting the tears of light, you have to set it on fire. Well, it's a bomb shack, so of course this is dangerous. Midna kept screaming at me to leave and I thought she meant "Collect the tears of light and get out of there, Link!" Nope, wrong order. So I got a game over there despite her warning.

I end up with several moments like these because I tend to take in-game information too literally, though. Like in Minish Cap there would be signs that say "Don't bomb here!" I thought they were warning me that it'd cause a rock slide and I'd get hurt. I eventually learned that actually, you're supposed to do the opposite of what it says.

I did the same thing took me forever to figure it out.

Spirit Tracks always manage to outsmart me, especially in the last section of the Spirit Tower. And that's why I love that game so much.

Then there's that one moment in Wind Waker. I don't remember the details, but I think it happened in Wind Temple.

This is the first case that I can think of: In PH I forgot that you can use the boomerang to turn the arrow shooters, so I got stuck in the temple where you get the hammer for, like, 3 hours.

In MC when Vaati's portable eye thingies turn black i was like: How do you do this??? I took me 3 weeks to figure out that you have to use the gust jar to suck off the armour.

I can only think of one very stupid moment, back in the mid-90s: In the 4th Dark World dungeon of aLttP, there's that cracked floor (exactly one floor above the boss room). I knew I had to blow it up to make light shine to the boss room, but I just had no idea how to get the bomb over there, because the area was fenced in. It was late at night and I finally gave up, but while lying in bed I got the idea "Hey, why not try throwing a bomb?" The next morning I did exactly that. All I had to do was actually read the message which is displayed everytime you pick up bombs out of a treasure chest: you can actually lift bombs with A and then throw them, but I skipped through that text everytime without bothering to read it...

awe dude sryuosly i lost the mirror sheld on mm deu to a bug 4 TIMES it was STUPIDITY XD! (>^.^)>

 

[RamboZelda]

All of mine are in Wind Waker (which was the first zelda title i'd ever played). It took me hours to find my way through the forsaken fortress, I got captured three squillion times. I also couldn't figure out how to sidle on that one part near the end of the dungeon. But my REAL stupid moment was when i got to the entrance to dragon roost cavern, I didn't know you could move blocks. I tried everything to get them to move, except for actually moving them.

it took me years to get into the swamp level in a link to the past because i got stuck on it and ended up giving up. lol it wasnt as impossible as i had initially thought when i found out through a guide later on in my life

 

[Turo602]

Oh yeah I don't know why but I also Stupidly couldn't find the Bridge in Twilight Princess. The funny thing was that I was there many times and I clearly saw it and for some reason I went else where and got mad that I couldn't find it until I saw it again and got even more mad for being so dumb. lol

 

[Ember Incubus]

It tok me 32 hours of ingame time (literaly) looking for the Bridge of Eldin. I was in Faron at the moment and with the Wii still on, I went to thise website and looked at the guide. I felt so stupid because I was standing right infront of it like litteraly next to it. ^ -^'

 

[Turo602]

Hahahahaha. Wow. Who doesn't hate a good brain fart?

 

[Ocarina_Player]

In TP I didn't know how to win Epona back from the Bulbins in Kakiriko Village, I just looked at it like '' Then I looked it up and figured out how to tilt the control stick the right way

*facepalm*

 

[AlaskaAce1996]

In Ocarina of Time I aimlessly wandered around the water temple not knowing what to do, so after several days, I looked up the water temple in the manual and had a big "I'm and idiot" moment.

You know in the Spirit Temple in OoT, when you crawl through the tunnel into this room that has a few monsters?

For some reason, I didn't understand what I was supposed to do after defeating them. I crawled through the north tunnel where the locked door was and figured I needed to find a key in order to advance. I went back and looked all over that room, bombing and shooting everything, observing every inch with my Lens of Truth. I talked to Nabooru again, and found out nothing. Eventually, I got so frustrated that I went online to check a walkthrough. It turns out that those big wooden things at the top of the stairs on the left and right were doors... :facepalm: I felt like the hugest idiot.
