How do Rupees/Rupoors even work? If you get a 20 Rupee and a 10 Rupee and buy something worth 25, what happens to the 10 Rupee? How does obtaining a Rupoor strip you of a set amount of Rupees when they’re hard israeliteels?
>If you get a $20 bill and a $10 bill and buy something worht $25, what happens to the $5 change?
Where did the 5 rupee come from? The vendor? Does every merchant have a massive stack of rupees with them at all times with every available color? What are the banks like in Hyrule?
>Where did the $5 bill come from? The vendor? Does every merchant have a massive stock of change with them at all times with every available denomination?
You’re comparing paper bills held by machines to large israeliteels held by townsfolk who own shops themselves and don’t have working plumbing
How big is a Rupee?
>How big is a Rupee?
theyre fricking huge have you seen em?
Yeah? That is how real life works, I mean, it would be fricking akward with the gigantic size of the rupees...But still
The rupees are small in real life
>How do coins work
If I start with 0 rupees and find a 100 rupee then go to some bumfrick’s shop to buy 75 rupees worth of stuff when he gets no other customers and only has his own surplus where’s the change come from
He waits until he can exchange it. It's not like the average citizen of Hyrule is deseparately looking to trade their gemstones for a wooden stick or a fish in a bottle (bottle sold separately). Link is the only customer at any of these shops.
He tells you he doesn't have change for a hundred and to frick off if you don't have anything smaller, same as any business.
I don’t know man, what happens when the corner gas station runs out of change? It’s a fantasy game for kids
>I don’t know man, what happens when the corner gas station runs out of change?
They go to the bank and get more
Rupoors sublimate in your wallet, which corrodes a certain amount of rupees and destroys them.
I dont remember a single merchant in zelda who's not a greedy smartass son of a b***h, I dont think anyone would fall for a fake rupee
It's not a fake rupee, it's a real rupee.

You laugh, but this exists in real life. It's called Counterfeiting and you can get unconventionally executed for doing it.

The value of rupees is not determined by their color. Rupees are magic items, that's their value.
Why do you think some items use rupees as the source of their power?

>cant tell the difference between a red gem and red paint
>shopkeeper looks at you with disgust and calls the guards to take your stupid ass to the dungeon
>Immediately get arrested for counterfeiting because you could easily test to see if it's painted over by scratching the surface with your fingernail
Never try to get into counterfeiting. You'd suck at it. I'd hate to see you get busted for trying to pass off pennies as dimes by spray painting them silver or something equally moronic.
Who the frick is gonna arrest Link
Any random Hyrule Castle guard or woman in Gerudo Valley can canonically arrest Link with ease.
>don't mind me just drawing Lincoln over George Washington
If you're going by that logic then why should Link even bother counterfeiting instead of simply robbing the store?
>easily test to see if it's painted over by scratching the surface with your fingernail
You should be able to tell the difference with nothing other than your eyes
>not using your lens of truth to check for counterfeit rupees
How can you do it if they float on top of your head as soon as you grab them, only to physically disappear afterwards?
Link is a hero and hero's never lie or steal. He would fake a ruppe, he wouldnt tell the lie, not pirate game, so o
>link would never ste-
He steals all the time, anon.
breaking people's pots and taking their content is theft.

Why doesn't a single other company make Zelda like games? Not even Nintendo much anymore.
