What was the point of the bank? Why can Link retain his items upon traveling back in time, but not his money?

What was the point of the bank? Why can Link retain his items upon traveling back in time, but not his money?

Key items and equipment only. All consumables go away.

Re-play the game you idiot.

But he actually can retain his money after time traveling. He just has to commit bank fraud against a really stupid banker to do it.

What if the bank safe is time travel proof?

which makes no fucking sense is the point OP was trying to make

Because shut the fuck up

You realilze you didn't answer his question right?

Maybe his bank balance is written on the stamp?

Because it's ok when Nintendo doesn't.

Are you new?

I never thought about that before, kind of ruins the game for me. I had a hard enough time getting over the fact that cuckoos hover the same amount of time if you throw them compared to having them carry you. if they are strong enough to carry you like you weigh nothing they should be able to fly

Because it's fun, Majora's Mask is all about managment, especially starting from your second playthrough you're gonna want to plan ahead and manage your time and belongings

It's just a low effort way to hide a piece of heart and prolong the game artificially, like the priest in TP.

Rupees are so stupidly easy to find that there's no point in saving up. It's not like there's a whole lot to spend on anyway, after maps and minigames.

is there any zelda game where rupees actually are useful?

So he's stealing from the bank?

>put money in bank
>receive stamp
>go back in time
>your money is no longer there
>use stamp to take it out anyway

The money goes back to the bank when you go back in time, so it's not like it matters.

Bank fraud is okay when you need to save the world

I thought you had to deposit it otherwise it'll be lost? If not then I've been wasting a lot of time.

I love the game but the management aspect kind of falls away when you have infinite resets and can do literally one task per cycle if you desire.

Speedruns of the game are 100x more interesting than regular play because they actually have to manage time.

>You defeated the moon, but Clock Town's economy is now in the shitter, with the effects rippling out and hitting the Deku, Goron and Zora economies like a ton of bricks
>because Link helped himself to the public purse, embezzling enough rupees to retire in his childhood once he gets back to Hyrule

You have to deposit money to have credit. But your money goes back to wherever it came from too, so the bank neither gains nor loses anything.

It's almost like everything goes back to the way it was when you go back in time

Except you of course

One kid filling up his wallet is not gonna crash the economy, businesses in clock town probably deal with Rupees in the hundreds of thousands, 500 is barely a drop.

That's not really true, if you beat the game and withdraw everything possible, the bank will lose 5000 rupees.

TP
The Magic Armor runs on them

5499 rupees*

Consider it payment for saving the fucking town

The original, dumbass

Have you never played the original Legend of Zelda

I don't know, have you seen how small the city is? Most buildings are gambling-style minigames, with one inn with 3 rooms and hardly any houses

t. someone who hasn't played the game.

why are they worthwhile there?

if cuckoos are invincible, why doesn't link glue a bunch together for armor?

Because they translate directly into arrows. Shooting your bow subtracts one rupee

You shoot arrows with rupees, that and you get like 5 rupees at a time at most

>you shoot rupees instead of arrows

who had this idea?

A genius with foresight. It gives you incentive to be conservative with your arrows and make your shots count.

I imagine it was a shortcut to sidestep having to program another thing into one of the most ambitious NES games of its time.

A smart guy because its the only time rupees were actually useful
