Not very many people noticed this, seeing as most were probably too focused on the all the new things that were revealed about the upcoming game A Link Between Worlds, but Majora’s Mask can be seen in one scene of the footage that was shown today. In the scene that showcases Ravio’s store, if one looks over at the bottom right corner of the room they’ll see Majora’s Mask just sitting on the wall apparently being used as a decoration…

It was revealed earlier during the Nintendo Direct that in A Link Between Worlds, Link has to rent items from Ravio in order to use them to get past certain dungeons. Later on he can eventually buy them, but at the beginning of the game he cannot. Eiji Aonuma helped clear up some confusion that people may have had about the system by posting on Miiverse and explaining in detail about how the renting system works and why it exists…

Earlier today we told you that A Link Between Worlds would feature Non-Linear Dungeons, aka, you can do the dungeons in any order you please. Well, Eiji Aonuma decided to expand on this through a very lengthy MiiVerse post.

“In Ravio’s shop, each of the items you can use in the game are on display from the beginning. But Ravio only has one of each item in stock, so if he sells them he’ll go bust! For this reason, he set the purchase price for each item at an outrageously high rate. Unfortunately, that means Link can’t move forward and Ravio can’t sustain his business, so he decided to start renting the items at reasonable prices. The rental period for each item is unlimited, so you can rent them for as long as you’d like, but if Link falls during his adventure and it’s game over, the items will be returned to the shop. If you want to continue playing, you’ll have to rent them again. After a while, you can eventually purchase the items, and once you do, you’ll be able to keep using them even if you game over.” – Eiji Aonuma
