Aonuma: Collecting rupees in Zelda: A Link Between Worlds “will be more important than ever”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 2 Comments
Rupees haven’t exactly had a great importance in Zelda games. In most cases, they haven’t been crucial to the main gameplay. In Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, however, collecting rupees “will be more important than ever”.
Producer Eiji Aonuma told ONM this month:
“Collecting rupees, the currency of the Zelda world, will be very important in this game. You might think that was the case with all the past games too, but I must say that this time it will be more important than ever and you will need to collect a great deal of them.”
There’s a very good chance that rupees will have a strong tie-in to the game’s shop. In a Miiverse post last month, Aonuma wrote:
“Shops in the past Zelda games sold things that would run out once you use them like arrows and bombs, items that needed replenishing. They have never sold an item that doesn’t go away after each use like the boomerang or the hookshot.”
So perhaps main items will leave your inventory after a certain number of uses? Players would then need to use their rupees to repurchase arrows and bombs, the boomerang, etc.
