For anyone who doesn't know, I'm not saying any of you don't, that's based off Twilight Princess. Ya, weapons hitting NPC's (or whatever you'd call non-enemies) in the game seems like it was an afterthought. If you do, all they do is a slight flinch with no expression or anything. I do like that they added the Ooccoo. EXTREMELY helpful as before it, in previous LoZ games, you couldn't turn off the game, even if you saved, while in a dungeon, since you'd have to go from the start again if you did. It made it more of a challenge but most likely caused complaints to LoZ's production company from parents overing their children refusing to stop playing on the grounds that if they stopped they would have to start over.
Now then, not really like Age of Times Hook
