However, when a Twitter user pointed out an interesting segment in the game which involves petting dogs, netizens couldn’t stop gushing over the “adorable” feature.
Taking to Twitter, the account @CanYouPetTheDog shared pictures and video clips from several games showcasing whether or not a player can pet a dog. From exciting games such as Super Mario, WarioWare to more intense action-packed ones such as Assassin’s Creed, Grand Theft Auto, here is the list:

It did not take long for people to notice the account and express their delight over games that allowed players to pet the dog. However, some also expressed disappointment over not being able to do the same in other games.
*after a long 3 hour review of BOTW*
It’s a 10/10 game.
But you can’t pet the dogs.
8/10.

That’s terrible and must be rectified.
