9 Video Games That Punish You For 100%

2. Crap - The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Zelda Breath Of The Wild Hestu

Have we talked about this one before in WhatCulture lists? Yes, we have. Is it so funny and relevant to this list that I couldn’t help myself but include it again? You better believe it.

Collecting Korok seeds in Breath of the Wild is totally worth it throughout the entire game because you’ll get to expand the size of your inventory which is a huge help. Collecting all of them, though, is a huge and punishing exercise in futility because the grand reward for collecting all 900 of them is Hetsu’s gift. Which sounds fine. Until you find out Hetsu’s gift is literal crap. The Korok puzzles can be agonisingly difficult and even using a guide is super tricky because, again, there are 900 of the little buggers. And what do you get for your trouble? A bad smelling gift of friendship that does nothing.

Potentially admirable as the ultimate troll, absolutely a punishment for your time investment.
