It rains sometimes and I can't climb a mountain

My shiny weapon broke, I wanted to use that weapon for the whole game so I could avoid all the other mechanics and weapons that the game has to offer me!

Probably those two, maybe something thrown in about how there isn't breadcrumbs to follow or someone taking you by the hand dragging you from dungeon to dungeon screaming "CLICK THAT BUTTON TO KILL GANON A BIT!" Before dragging you to the next dungeon splicing in the trip with a 20 minute unskippable cutscene.

Lol! Too be fair the Lightning can get really annoying xD The first time I was like "WHAT? what is that? Uh hhh wha - " *ZAP*

GAME OVER 

It will probably lead to a death for everyone the first time they encounter it happening unless you are really quick on your feet with what is happening. However it is a tutorial free way of showing you that metal things in Zelda conduct electricity, you can use this to your advantage in puzzles later in the game which can be solved by dropping your metal weapons or shields and creating links for energy to flow over or you can use it to weaponise the lightning during thunderstorms, I've used metal weapons and thrown them to enemy groups while fighting during storms in that game, one of my worst fuck ups ever was doing it with a giant boomerang.... got the timing wrong and had it fly back at me just as the Lightning hit it :S

Still though, the game never has to give you a tutorial to explain that lightning is a tool in the game... it shows you... you walk outside, metal shit starts to sparkle, after about 10 seconds metal shit is hit by lightning. Love that system of "Show, don't tell". Sure like i said, it killed me the first time, but then I played for 200+ hours knowing it was there in the air and not to be played around with (until I got the helm from the desert then you can run into camps of enemies as lightning rains down on you lol)
