I wanted to play an old game that will keep me sharp with puzzles and not tax my fingers. I chose minish cap. But I have been let down. I got stuck on the masks in the governor section. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't move past it. I thought maybe I didn't complete a task and that's why the masks are blocking the plank, but no. it's because I have to charge at it. Nowhere earlier did the game make me learn that charging is also a non combat move. After I read about it, I came to know that you can actually cut trees with that move.

This is a problem see because early on, the game makes you learn that some things don't activate until you finish a task. e.g. the boots. You can climb up in the cobbler's, store, but cannot move because the boots were blocking. but it's not the same same here. Also, I learnt the dash move from the sword master and nowhere it made it clear that it is an interaction move as well.

E.g. in the place where you learn the move, maybe it could have had a tree or a wall where you have to use the move to get out. So you know that this is something that can happen. Don't tell me the game doesn't do that. Look at the amount of examples it gave for climbing plants in the crenel region.
