10 Moments That Made You Quit Gaming For Good

8. The Tower Of Terror (The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past)

There's no guessing as to why Moldorm was chosen to guard the Pendant of Wisdom in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, because that stupid worm reduced this writer to the depths of his common sense as a child.

This is one of those bosses where you can see the end goal, you know what you have to do and how to get there, but for some reason your thumbs just won't compute and get along for the team's sake.

For those unaware, this giant, bobble-along, yellow worm prat guards the top floor of the Tower of Hera. Get knocked down a hole on said floor and you have to ascend the tower again to face him. That would be A-okay if the Tower of Hera weren't a puzzle fortress that can be annoying in itself.

Mistime one too many sword slashes? You're down. Thinking of running? Gone. Let his divided eyes distract you for a single moment? Enjoy the trip.

It could be that I'm just bad at video games. It could be there's something in me that doesn't allow for child-level tasks to be completed with ease. All are possible, but Moldorm is definitely a knob.
