Dear Nintendo

Playing your otherwise excellent game "Zelda: Twilight Princess," I've reached a stage where the hero is sometimes required to wear heavy boots to do certain tasks. Here is one example:
  • Hero stands on a floor switch. The switch moves a little, but does not activate.
  • Hero's companion suggests that he is too light to activate the switch.
  • Hero puts on heavy boots. Now the switch is activated.
But here's the thing. I'm carrying the boots. How is it that putting them on my feet makes me "heavy" enough to do something, as opposed to schlepping them around in my pack?

It kind of reminds me of this.
