Kaepora Gaebora

*text is scrolling*

*me madly the A button to get through the owl's text*

Owl: "Do you want me to repeat?"

*me still pounding the A button*

*Owl repeats himself*

Me: "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!"

— A YouTube comment on Ocarina of Time - Can't Get Enough Owl

Kaepora Gaebora is a wise but talkative owl who appears in The Legend of Zelda series. In Ocarina of Time, his main purpose is to give Link information, but his advice is trivial and only helpful to amateur players, and goes on for pages and pages.

Veterans will usually repeatedly tap the "A" button as quickly as possible to skip, only to see the dreaded question "Did you get all that? / Do you want to hear what I said again?" appear, with a simple Yes / No answer; unfortunately, no matter which of the aforementioned questions is asked, the default option is always the one for him to repeat himself. The people tapping "A" as quickly as possible to skip have a very high chance of selecting said option, and be forced to sit through his advice all over again.

It should be noted that only his Ocarina of Time incarnation is widely hated. His Majora's Mask counterpart is much more liked; while he retains his tendency to talk for pages and pages, he teaches Link the Song of Soaring that lets him warp to any Owl Statue he has activated, only appears twice in the entire game, and when he asks the player if he understood what he said, the cursor does NOT default to the option that makes him repeat himself.

Games Appeared: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Four Swords Adventures
