Side missions can be one of the most enjoyable parts of any game. They deviate from the main story just enough to give you a much needed break, can help flesh out the world the game takes place in, and they give you some much-needed EXP/tools/weapons to help when you get back to your main quest.
No really, Link, there’s no rush, I’m sure Zelda’s fine. Just ignore the screams of horror and torture coming from Ganon’s skull fortress and carry on terrorizing cukoos. I’m sure this will end GREAT for you.
But of course, video games are all about rewards. And if you go through a particularly hard side quest and get little to nothing out of it, any good points it has kinda go out the window, no matter how good or bad the rest of the quest was.
Side-missions live and die on the rewards you get for your efforts, but these missions felt that screwing you over for your hours of effort would be good for a laugh.
