Something I can totally relate to :(

I hated that owl. I also hated the fact that the designers knew what they were doing by making the default choice "No."

lots of games do that, not just zelda

They could just have added those instructions in a logbook UI and default the answer to "Yes". Then if the user wants to reread the message anytime, they can do so.

I also hate when I'm pressing A to get through some dialog in Mass Effect and I accidentally select some dialog option without even reading it. Like I want to select "Sod off, you bloody wanker!" but instead I select "Oh terribly sorry, good sir. My deepest apologies for offending you." and I get Paragon points.  :'(

couldn't you skip through that entire wall of text by pressing B? i think so

I think some parts you can with the + button or something like that, but there were parts where the devs deemed too important / pivotal that you were forced to watch. You'd just get this "Cannot skip" message.

Just add that information into a damn journal! If it's that important, wouldn't you want the user to access that information at will, as a reference?

I remember in MGS2 by far the most useful button was the triangle - you'd skip through those interminable hours of dialogue!
