8 Video Game "Gifts" That Made You Say HUMBUG

4. Hestu's Gift - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The Auditore Cape seems like a positively worthy present compared to Hestu's Gift from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, however. 

After collecting all 900 Korok Seeds, which can take literally hundreds of hours across multiple playthroughs, and then paying a visit to Hestu at the Korok Forest, he'll give you a big, shiny gift for your troubles.

Except, said "gift" - allegedly a gift of friendship - is literally just a golden pile of poop, and to rub salt in the wound, the item description even says that it "smells pretty bad." If this is what Hestu gives to friends, what's he passing out to his enemies?

On one hand, this feels like Nintendo's passive-aggressive way of shading players who put way too much effort into 100%-ing the game, but on the other, you can't really blame players for feeling miffed that they ended up with a shiny piece of s**t for all their hard graft.
