Finding a Bearded Companion in Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake lets me revisit a childhood favorite, and while exploring the bustling Castle Town I stumbled upon a new character the developers christened the Bearded Guy. He’s a towering figure with a regal “face mane” that drapes over his chest, and his beard is presented as a beacon that can locate other bearded men across Hyrule.
At first I thought the game was hinting at a side quest with Talon, the ranch owner who also sports a beard and eventually gives me a horse. Instead, the joke feels like a tongue‑in‑cheek nod to a niche fanbase, leaving me wondering why my own beard can’t instantly ping nearby bearded players. Do I need a gym regimen or a firmware update before my facial hair gains Wi‑Fi capabilities?
Until that mystery is solved, I’ve already bookmarked this striking screenshot for my future dating profile, a visual that captures the quirky charm of the encounter.
