Bad Guys Anonymous
Octorok
Welcome to yet another edition of Bad Guys Anonymous, where we single out the first villains we all so easily murdered in video games of yore. These are the opponents we stomp, slice or blast and forget.
Much like we did when we settled on Met as the first baddy in Mega Man, we had to use logic to pick the first anonymous villain in The Legend of Zelda. As the game opens up, players can go in one of three directions (aside from entering the cave). You can go left, right or up. Two of those directions bit you against a pack of Octoroks, while the third sets you near the annoying Tektites.
Ugh, the Tektite. With their seemingly random jumps, these guys are one of the most annoying villains in classic gaming history, as far as I’m concerned. But, alas, that’s not why we’re here today.
