Life as a Nintendo Game Counselor in the early '00s sounds like a wild time. One moment, you're helping someone find the Ghost Ship in Zelda: The Wind Waker, and the next you're assuring a deeply concerned parent that their child isn't playing a game that prominently features a giant, gyrating penis.
Yes, that is a real thing that happened. People really did get stuck on Wind Waker's Ghost Ship quest. I know, can you believe it? Oh, you're more interested in the gyrating penis thing, of course you are. Yes, that was also a very real concern back in the early aughts, according to a newly resurfaced magazine snippet featuring former Nintendo Counselor Rick Sandbom.
