General Zelda Was There an Area in a Game That Made You Quit Playing?

[Mask-Salesman]

Guess it's a cliché to say the Water Temple. But I actually had problems finding the Kokiri Sword when I first played the game. I was 4, couldn't ready English, we didn't have the internet for walkthroughs and it was the first time playing Zelda. Man, the game was hard then .

Jabu-Jabu's belly in Oracle of Ages.

I was so frustrated with the Carriage part in TP when I first played it. I just couldn't get through that part. I got so frustrated and mad and angry I tossed the game aside for more than a year. then I picked it up and managed to beat it. I played on and beat the game so I was so happy. Now several times later (I have beaten the game like 100 times now) I still hate that carriage part. Oh and the wrestling part annoys me madly too.

I had to quit playing Skyward Sword for a while and then restarted later because of how long that while was because I keep hurting my self while fighting Ghirahim. Those precise movements hurt my wrist.

 

[DarkLink7]

Mine'd have to be the carriage part and Gerudo desert and the Palace of Twilight in TP, and the Silent Realms in SS.

 

[Justac00lguy]

I got lost in Link's Awakening, well not lost, just stuck. And every time I go to play it again, I have no idea where I am, what I'm doing, or why I'm even playing. So I just end up staring blankly at the screen and then shutting it down.

AoL: where you have to talk to that one NPC (Bagu I think?) that's hidden in a random forest square that you'd never even think to look for. I mean there isn't even anything telling you that you should be looking for someone, let alone any hints about where to look.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ This.

Also, Forsaken Fortress in The Wind Waker, the first time. It was my first Zelda game so I was really young. I don't know what was wrong with me, but I never knew how to escape from the cell (our TV was too dark to actually see the hole behind the pot) and I couldn't get to the top of the tower. I had to look up a walkthrough a good year later.

And I have currently... kind of quit OoA because I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to Tingle. It's probably really obvious, but I feel like I've gone over the whole map and found nothing.

To get to tinglelingle you need your animal companion. if it's a series of chasms it's MOosh if it's just holes then it's riki.

 

[onebizarrekai]

Silent realms in Skyward Sword. They're the only reason I haven't beaten that game. Actually, I don't like the Imprisoned battles either, but I SERIOUSLY don't like the silent realms. They freak me out, not to mention they are very repetitive.

Also, the first Dark World dungeon in A Link to the Past. I can't remember if I've even beaten it yet.

... and the first dungeon in Zelda II.

 

[misskitten]

Almost ragequitted when fighting Girahim that first time because Link wouldn't do what I was doing with the controller. But I quit just after the first Silent Realm. I hate the Silent Realms.

And I quit AoL pretty much immediately when I kept getting game overs and having to restart from the beginning over and over again... HATED that

 

[Spiritual Mask Salesman]

The ocean palace in the AoL, actually when I first played it almost all the palaces made me quit for awhile then come back to the game.

 

[TheRockinStallion]

I never got any further than getting the Master Sword in ALttP. At the time, I thought the rest of the game was too hard.

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

Death Mountain in Adventure of Link. I probably could get through it if I sat down with the game and really played it for a long time, but it took me forever just to beat the first palace and make it that far, far longer than it should have, so I just gave up.

 

[Beeker]

Before I knew what walkthroughs were, OoT was the one game I got stuck on and quit halfway through. I was at Zora's domain,and had no idea at the time how to open up Jabu Jabu. Needless to say, years later when I tried the game again realized I just needed a fish, I felt incredibly stupid.

 

[arinad64]

In the Water Temple, I forgot about the key under the middle tower, so I was looking all over the place for a key to get to Dark Link. After about an hour of fruitless effort, I rage quit.

Also, in the Skyview Temple, I got so freaked out at the new Skulltula design that I stopped playing for a week.
