Quote from Opium:
But...they don't do that with dollars (or other forms of currency afaik).  They don't say that a five dollar bill is worth five ONE dollar bills - it's just five dollars (rupees).


But a dollar is a dollar, while a rupee has several different varieties. A blue rupee is still one rupee.

And besides, a five dollar bill already has a five in its name, so it explains itself anyway.

A one dollar bill is still one dollar. Think of 'rupee' as the name of the currency itself, not the actual gemstone.

One shall stand, one shall ball.
They are also fucking rocks, if you've got a full wallet that fucker's gonna do more damage than than that piddly little sword.

Like imagine a bag full of five hundred rocks, just swinging that shit around like a flail. Scrooge McDuck some bitches.

They should have just named the green rupee the "one rupee", and the blue rupee the "five rupee". Then all would have been right in the world.

They should also change currency. It's retarded do base your economy around something that's primarily found in tall grass imo.

they also need to stop giving you the bow as like the last item. you should get the bow early because it's very useful but not all that exciting or novel.

and yet somehow i love majora's mask where the only fucking item is the bow

To be fair Link appears to be the only one capable of mining rupees from the grass.

No you guys, you see the slingshot is given to you first and then the bow much later to symbolize Link's growth from just a kid on a journey to a MANLY HERO MAN.

It's very deep.

rotfl almost forgot about that thing. another terrible habit of zelda games: making you work really hard to get the best items then never giving you a chance to use them.

there's something to be said for games like uncharted where there are no powerups/items at all.

More like any action/adventure type game or RPG really. Maybe just the Japanese ones. But it way too damn common.

Like if I have to beat the game to get it, it's not really a reward.

I guess you could at least go back and Great Fairy sword the one boss you can even hit with a sword. That's neat or something!

i think the japanese just get into that sort of shit for some reason. like in the tales games there's always a bunch of crap you can't get until you've finished the game and it's like what's the point
