Dude, Where's My Reward?: Difference between revisions

** The non-canon [[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|animated series]] from the 80s was even worse than any of the games. Not only does Link do all of those things and get no reward for his trouble, everyone in the show still treats him like a useless moron and Zelda can't even be bothered to acknowledge him as a hero while repeatedly insulting him and his well-proven capability. There's even an episode where Ganon steals Link's soul and his ghost is only able to seek help from Zelda to stop him from dying a slow death as his spirit fades out of existence. Zelda never lets up on reminding him what a great burden it is for her to lend any amount of aid to the guy that regularly saves her, her family, her kingdom, and her entire damn universe, on a weekly basis.

*** "Well, excuuuuse me, Princess!"

*** "I just saved you from Ganon!" "You did not."

** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]''. Has undoubtedly the best example of this trope. Link is trying the find [[Stop Helping Me!|Navi]] and gets sidetracked for days in an endless 3 day loop. Goes through the entire quest to finally save the inhabitants of the village from the big scary red-eyed moon of doom only to be told that he should probably not attend the carnival that was scheduled for the day after.
