10 Gaming Moments Where You Play Like An Utter Dick

9. Legend of Zelda Series - Pots, Cuccos And General Thievery

Speaking of games in which you can smash and steal things to your hearts content with (normally) no repercussions, there's The Legend of Zelda series. Everyone knows this one; blond boy in a green suit and funny hat goes and saves a princess. Except he's also busy robbing villagers blind and destroying all their precious pots. No one says anything about that kid running about breaking everything. Maybe it's because you're often the only armed person around and they all live in fear of you, like you've just got the whole world hostage. The best part is that the pots replace themselves every time you leave and come back. We imagine it's the NPCs replacing them over and over again, stuck in some sort of pot-replacing limbo for all eternity. That's not all you can do though, and these games certainly like to remind you of your dickish actions at certain points. In Link's Awakening you can steal items from a shopkeeper, who then brands you as 'Thief' for the rest of the game, even changing the name of your save file and everyone thereby addressing you as that. In many games within the series you can also attack cuccos all you want, the cute little chicken-esque birds running all over the place. Attack too many though and they'll turn all red and angry, then a gang of them will attack you until you die. A swift, effective, and brutal reminder that you are a total dick.
