This design rule isn’t just for games. It’s a life hack disguised as entertainment. Think of learning a new recipe: you master the knife technique with a salad, then graduate to a tricky julienne for stir-fry.
Or consider your first day at a new job. You get a simple task, then a more complex one that builds on it. When the training is good, you feel like a boss. When it’s bad, you feel like you’re in the Water Temple.
Even IKEA furniture follows this rule. The first step is “attach leg A to part B.” By step ten, you’re building a wardrobe with the same skill you learned two minutes ago. It’s Zelda logic in pinewood form.
