    Considering the Zelda series frequently implies that Rupees aren't just gems, but rather gems with magical properties like with the great fairies and some magic armors, I kind of just assumed the Rupoor was an anti rupee that saps the magic and color out of your rupees.

      What I was thinking was something similar...except that once the rupoor comes into contact with a rupee, both the rupoor and rupee disappear 'cause both annihilated each other...like matter and anti-matter, but without the explosion.

      If you're interested in any other Zelda videos, might I recommend making one or several about the different manga? I've been reading the Twilight Princess manga, and I have to say that it is AMAZING. It does a great job adapting the game without just being the game on paper, Link has a personality and character, there's more depth given to backstories, it's a phenomenal adaptation.

      Giant's Knife is actually a good buy. At that point in the game, your Rupees are constantly hitting your max capacity. So if you buy the Giant's Knife, you can save it for Boss Fights only and have a nice and easy time with them. You likely won't even miss the 200 Rupees. And you don't even have to do the long boring Biggorn Sword quest chain at all. Even better: store the Biggorn jump attack damage, and then crouch stab with the Master Sword for MASSIVE DAMAGE without ever breaking it.

      I still think the devs making the reward for the Korok seeds, golden poop is because they actively don't want people to get them all. I think they wanted them plentiful but they also didn't want people to waste time trying to collect them. Like, whenever I play OoT I feel like I MUST get every skutula to save the family even though the final prize is lame. I think making the final prize golden poop is them saying, just enjoy the game, don't collect all of these things.

      While I will admit I very much enjoyed my time in the world of BotW, the exploration and adventuring felt really hollow compared to my experiences in prior Zelda games. I suppose the sense of accomplishment that I got in LoZ, AoL, or aLttP will likely never be matched in future titles. BotW felt more like a dopamine/morphine drip, and a vast majority of the content seemed entirely optional and inconsequential, not to mention generic and tropey.
      There was no story or character development either, which is something that I felt had been getting steadily better in Zelda titles up to this point. Just stock MMORPG style collection quests, and a 5 min storyline reiterated every few hours in case you forgot in between hours of waiting for shrine load screens, teleport load screens, endless repetitive cooking 1 meal at a time or conversation trees that can't be skipped.
      I dunno, I kinda felt like the whole game experience was a really beautifully designed scam.

    Honestly disagree with the TP Magic Armor being a scam
    First, there's the fact that the Cave of Ordeals ONLY drops Rupees (aside from a few dig spots with hearts). It's clearly designed to make use of the Magic Armor.
    Also, completing the Poe sidequest allows you to get infinite Rupees by repeatedly talking to the formerly cursed guy's cat. It's super easy to fill your wallet back up to recharge the armor.
    Also there's the fact that this game makes the extremely bizarre choice of not letting you take Rupees from chests if your wallet is full. If you want to open every chest in a dungeon, Magic Armor makes it easy!

      Agree. Even discounting the Cave of Ordeals, the Magic Armor is basically the only thing to use your Rupees on at the end of the game. It's definitely meant to be an 'endgame flex', and while it's technically an endless money sink, one has to ask what the value of money is when you have nothing left to purchase. Rupees are just a worthless collectible at that point, so yeah, why not be able to make your INVINCIBLE with them?

      @@Chibi_Rikka You can start getting this armor, pretty much after beating the 3rd dungeon. So like half way through the game. And unless you do the labor of delivering thing after making the initial thousand donation, you have to do like a two thousand rupee donation. On top of paying 598 for the armor. So potentially 3598 rupees down the drain, with you just barely having 600 rupee wallet to hold and spend rupees with. Which unless you're good at finding bugs, you probably won't have the 1000 rupee wallet to help out with. Also there is a 1000 rupee donation church guy, who gives you one heart piece after donating that 1000 rupees. So chances are that you wasted your time donating to that beforehand.
      As for how much the Magic Armor drains, it's 2 rupees per second, with it losing 12 each time you get hit. So, yeah, it doesn't last all that long.

It's not like rupee farming is some impossible task, at least not in the Zelda games I've played, so I wouldn't even consider the amount spent to get it as going 'down the drain' when you can literally just find them in someone's yard every time you leave their house (unless it doesn't work like that in TP, I don't know).

    The thing that made me mad about the rupee armor wasn't how much it cost, but rather HOW it drained your rupees. The way it was described, I thought that the rupees wouldn't leave your pocket until you took damage. Instead, it constantly drained your rupees every second you wore it for no reason, whether you were getting hurt or not.

      I would argue that it is not.

      Metroid: Zero Mission, that was a large improvement, restructuring the areas, adding new bosses and enemies and abilities, and even end game content, along side the visual changes.
      Link's Awakening... pretty much only had the stupid dungeon creator, and some very minor differences like changing the crane minigame.

    Link Between Worlds tip: Save often, and just restart from the save to get your items back for free. A must for hard mode, yes, you lose your progress up to that point, but not a big deal the more often you save.
    Triforce hunting in WW: one of the reason this is my least favorite game.
    Magic Armor: possibly the best item in twilight princess for both the ganon fight and the cave of ordeals. and since rupees are plentiful in that game, I'm sorry, I have to 101% disagree with that tier 1.

    • @JesusRamirez-vs9bd

      Yeah I've never understood why people hate the armor so much. It isn't really meant to be worn all of the time. Plus you end up breaking even with how much it can trivialize some of the harder challenges.

    • @byronlyons3548
      @byronlyons3548 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can literally cheese the Cave of Ordeals on the Wii, so you don't have to waste fighting or using the armor for that. As for the Ganon fight, just get good. So no, it still really isn't the best item, by a mile. Maybe if it didn't drain so fast, or a lot whenever you get hit, it would be better.
      Honestly the Magic Armor in Wind Waker original is better, by how much it drains isn't dependent on how much you get hit, but rather on how fast it drains the magic meter normally. That and it doesn't turn you into a slug in human form when it runs out.

    The worst part about the Minish Cap figurines is that you can get only figurines of monsters and people you have met. That means the percentage of getting a new figure increases the later in the game you buy it, but your seashells and rupees cap at 999, so you have to keep buying throughout the game. And you even have to leave treasures unopened until it is time to complete the collection.

    The Link's Awakening tiles aren't that expensive - though only if you've gotten invested in the map building to begin with, since the build your own dungeons can pay out stupid amounts of rupees. It is, however, a massive waste of time - after playing with it a lot myself you can only go through the same handful of rooms so many times before you hate all of them. I actually expected there to be more tiles to buy; firstly expand the extremely limited dungeon palatte on offer but also just to have something to *spend* rupees on. By the end of the build your own dungeons you can get crazy loaded, but at the same time there's nothing left to buy!
    Tldr link's awakening link is the only link that can afford the malo mart magic armor.

    Say a game gets released on a system exclusively. Then a few months later, they make a port to other systems. That port is full price.
    And older game is ported to modern hardware, with extra features. That is also full price.
    One is okay, the other is not. So how old does a game have to be before a port becomes a rip off? I mean, they a both ports, the modern one might even have less work put into it. It’s a straight port after all.

    The TP magic armor is kinda funny to me as someone who plays randomizers. TP randomizer has an option that, like HD, increases the size of all your wallets, but prices are still built around the normal wallet sizes. In other words, you now have room for a lot of excess rupees, and each rupee chest becomes primarily magic armor fuel. Which is good, since I feel it shines when you have thousands on hand for a delve into the Cave of Ordeals.
