==Story== | ==Story== | ||
A pretty normal, 35 year old man was sitting at home until a voice from above tells him he can have money and women in Rupeeland. The voice tells him to go to the pond next to his house. The 35 year old does this, and comes upon [[Uncle Rupee]]. Uncle Rupee dresses up the 35 year old, and tells him from then on his name would be Tingle. He then tells him that if he can collect and toss enough rupees in that pool, he will come to Rupeeland. Tingle does this, but only to find that Uncle Rupee wanted the riches for himself. Tingle then battles Uncle Rupee as he lied and Rupeeland is not a paradise, but more of the opposite. | A pretty normal, 35 year old man was sitting at home until a voice from above tells him he can have money and women in Rupeeland.

==Rupees== | |||
The game places heavy emphasis on [[rupees]], the main goal of the game is to collect as many as possible as dictated by the games main antagonist [[Uncle Rupee]]. To progress in the game, the [[rupees]] collected must eventually be thrown into the [[Western Pool]] next to [[Tingle]]'s house. When a certain amount has been thrown in, the [[Western Pool]] will grow into a huge tower, [[Tingle]] can climb to the top and launch himself off with the assistance of his balloon, to reach lands that were previously inaccessible. As more [[rupees]] are thrown in, the higher the tower grows allowing [[Tingle]] to access far away continents. | |||
[[Rupees]] can also be spent on items, bodyguards or when bargaining. | |||
[[Rupees]] also represent [[Tingle]]'s health in this game unlike the traditional [[Heart Containers]] in mainstream [[Zelda]] games. | |||
==Bargaining== | |||
Another unique feature of this game is bargaining. Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland features a plethora of non-playable characters that [[Tingle]] can interact with and all of them have one desire, [[rupees]] and lots of them. | |||
[[Tingle]] will have to very frequently throughout the game have to pay characters in order to progress or to gain information, this is where bargaining comes in. Very rarely will any character ask for a set price, instead [[Tingle]] has to make an offer and hope that the character will accept, this can be very tricky as the characters normally give no indication of how much they will accept, if you offer too little they will refuse and they will also take all of the [[rupees]] you made in the offer. If you offer too much, they will accept and take all of the [[rupees]] but you may have paid far more then what you needed too, it comes down to trial and error to determine the best price. | |||

[[Tingle]] can hire only 1 bodyguard at a time, any other contract made with another bodyguard will terminate the previous contract. Bodyguards can also only be used on the continents where they were hired. Entering the Hero's Shrine will also terminate a contract. | [[Tingle]] can hire only 1 bodyguard at a time, any other contract made with another bodyguard will terminate the previous contract.

There are 3 drifter bodyguards in the game, they can not be found in salons, instead they can be encountered in hidden locations around the land. These bodyguards are very powerful and also very expensive, unlike salon bodyguards they can not be re-hired when they lose all their health, instead they must be re-found. | |||
There are also 2 quest bodyguards which are mandatory as the story progresses. | |||
