I'm gonna go with Kaepora Gaebora, the owl from OOT.

Would you like me to repeat that? Yes.......

If Ocarina of Time counts as adventure game, then yes, that owl is despised, even though it only wants to help.

Cedric the owl.

Graham watch out! A POISONOUS snake!

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

That owl was annoying when I was a kid. I hated it too.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Navi from ocarina of time. "Hey! Listen!"

Ocarina of time is not an adventure game.

edit: I'm talking about point and click. I'd classify ocarina of time as a skill-based rpg

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not a point and click adventure. But I would still classify it as an adventure game. Wikipedia classifies it as an action adventure.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

it's not quite what I think of when I read 'adventure game'. I think point and click and puzzles. not skill based action ones.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 1 points 5 hours ago

Understandable. It feels kind of wrong for me too. But technically right.

Wow. That's some confidence. Utterly incorrect, but damn impressive confidence there.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 1 points 5 hours ago

relax. this is a gaming sub. not a reddit shitfight.

Good person hated by fans: Glottis from Grim Fandango, Wally from Monkey Island, April Ryan from The Longest Journey

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I thought everyone loved Glottis? Lol

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 10 hours ago

Manny you promised!

[–] Lembot_0005@lemy.lol 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Wally? He never had enough screentime. Yes, kind of a whiney little cartographer, but who really hates him?

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Idk, I was struggling to think of characters.

[–] Lembot_0005@lemy.lol 3 points 13 hours ago

You should get a false beard and try yourself as a pirate instead :)

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

April Ryan is hated by fans (as opposed to even mixed views)?

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Idk, honestly it's a hard box to fill. I do know people who find her annoying, but it's hard to count them as fans.

[–] bluspoon@lemmy.world -3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite.

Hey, stop looking at the guy shooting at you and take this thing I just found...

[–] Lembot_0005@lemy.lol 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

But she isn't hated. I even remember she was praised for non-stucking in doors and furniture. The engine just teleported her to the player in case something happened.

[–] bluspoon@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

She was the low point playing the game for me, assumed others also felt the pain.
