First you play Breath of the Wild and you unintentionally drop the rock on an early one, make it "oof" in pain and making you a bit guilty. Then you meet Hestu, you see a few dozens more of the crafty little bastards, and you start enjoying dropping stuff on them.
And then Tears of the Kingdom happens, you've seen literal hundreds of them by now, and now you've got an infinity of new ways to make them scream in terror.
