[Let's Scrutinize Games] Idol hunts

[Cheery Dog]

Are they mentioned in the newbie guide? I can't remember as I'm fairly sure I've only skim read that.
I do like it when games tell us outright that idols exist in games, and how to get them, so I believe it can be fixed using the examples we have of them.

These games I can remember having public ways to obtain at least one of the idols available in them:
DBZ, LoL, MLS, SotF, Parthenon. (And more, those are just the ones I can recall off the top of my head)

Many others are just sadistic challenges put together for fun by the mods, where they just have the fun of people suffering trying to solve them.
For example in this category we have any game that had an unfound idol.
Quiet a fair few of the ones that have been found probably also fit this categor including ones like Hyrule where you got a real idol if you used the mutiny idol.

And then we have the complete troll links and fake hunts.
BvW comes to mind here.
