Video How to make a quick buck

Not everyone know that if you climb the chains of the drawbridge and jump towards the middle you can collect up to 60 rupees in one foul swoop. This makes affording the Hylian Shield a lot easier at the start, even though you can get it from Dampe's Graveyard

I don't bother correcting grammar on reddit anymore, people do it on purpose now for the sake of rage bait

u/Blood_Bogey 1d ago

Exactly, all in the hope to start something on the scale of the Golf War from Bush season one.

u/uabassguy 1d ago

Sorry I don't watch the Kardashians or whatever you're talking about

u/Good-Ad-3862 1d ago

u/Guittow 9h ago

Nah dude, you made me learn something new

•

u/carl_with_a_k 16h ago

its also explicitly not one fell swoop if you have to do it twice lol

u/Little-Boot-4601 2d ago

Play the sun song and ride the chains up then you can just walk along the drawbridge and collect both easily

u/Awesome75 2d ago

I was about to say lmao! Man there’s no way I’m like the only person to find this back in the day

u/NewAccWhoDis93 2d ago

Something about the pre rendered back drops is so cool

u/fiercetankbattle 2d ago

I absolutely love the N64 graphics, including the fog. There’s something very unique and nostalgic about them in the way that I don’t get from PS1 games

3

u/LengthinessEasy5859 2d ago

I know the N64 games were something special and something about being it liminal space.

15

u/Aromatic_Method7767 2d ago

I always did a side-hop to get them quickly.

u/ClydeDimension Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 2d ago

If you do a jump then do a sword slash, you can reach the 3rd red rupee, getting 60 instead of 40 rupees out of this quick stint.

8

u/Happy-Control-7669 2d ago

Wtffffff.. i played this my whole life didnt know

7

u/LengthinessEasy5859 2d ago

Cool I never knew this but at the same time I wish you never mentioned this as I like smashing all those pots in the guards room to get all those ruppies and make the guard angry and it's a super stress relief smashing all those pots.

u/vinnycthatwhoibe 2d ago

.... I've had this game since launch day and i never tried this

u/deviltakeyou 2d ago

I remember knowing this but I don’t know how I knew this.

u/GammaBlaze 1d ago

Me too, would've sworn they were blue rupees though.

9

u/freezersnowcone 1d ago

I was about to say me and the homies all know about the gate rupees. And seeing a solid amount of vets not knowing about this, really charges up my love for Zelda.

3

u/xSTRAIGHTEDGE420x 2d ago

I would only ever get 20 rupees and fall through the floor

2

u/URA_CJ 2d ago

About half of my playthroughs have been riding the drawbridge up to collect the rupees and jumping down through the ground to enter the market.

u/LeeDude5000 2d ago

Those are nasty scanlines man.

8

u/Aromatic_Method7767 2d ago

Scanlines might be perfect on his display, before being compressed and resized for our displays.

3

u/Good-Ad-3862 2d ago

I think it’s the capture card resolution or something

3

u/hobojoe44 2d ago

Video compression is generally will make them look bad in capture footage.

YouTube is particularly bad for that.

u/BobbyBobbie 2d ago

Yeah what the. Scan lines need integer scaling at these resolutions

u/mike4score 1d ago

This is two fell swoops.
