8 Evil Video Game Choices That Came Back To Haunt You

8. Pushing Hinox Too Far - The Legend Of Zelda: Link Between Worlds

It's quite strange that a series as universally charming as The Legend Of Zelda contains so many examples of Link being an utter dickbag to his fellow man and getting his ass handed to him as a result.

From stealing goods and being branded as a THIEF in Link's Awakening, to being pecked to death by a mob of chickens for harassing them in countless titles, it really does seem that Nintendo tries and curb stomp players who act like cheeky little whippets.

However one of the less spoken about examples of our Hero of Time being far from heroic is found in the outstanding Link Between Worlds 3DS title, where Link can stumble, and by stumble I mean blow the bloody doors off, a secret cave containing a Hinox who is just trying to hide away from all the action and chaos outside.

The creature pleads with Link to leave, and even offers to sweeten the deal by offering up some Rupees in exchange for being left in peace. However, this can become a moment of true dickery when it becomes clear that you can extort more and more money from the beast by denying its offers.

The amount you can get is random but can see the player walk away with one Red, one Purple, and two Silver Rupees if you're lucky! Yet this luck suddenly runs out if you push Hinox further because it'll become enraged at your greed and proceed to turn hostile, boasting an impressive damage output that might see your extortion racket end pretty bloody quickly.
