''' | '''Octoball Derby''' is a mini-game featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''. It is one of many available in the game. It is basically a game of baseball, as [[Link]] uses his [[Tornado Rod]] to hit incoming pitches. | ||
The Octoball Derby is located south of the Blacksmith's house | The Octoball Derby is located in [[Lorule]] south of the [[Blacksmith|Blacksmith's]] house and southeast of [[Thieves' Town]]. There are three characters located in the immediate area: the [[Derby Boy]], who is the presumed owner of the game; [[Octo]], a friendly octorock who is the pitcher for the game; and the [[Derby Girl]], who when talked to gives Link hints at how to play. | ||
The main objective of the game is to score as many | The main objective of the game is to score as many [[Rupee]]s as possible, using only 30 pitches. During the game, the player can adjust Link's pose by moving the Circle Pad up or down.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Move the Circle Pad up and down to change your batting stance.|Derby Girl}} Each pose results in the ball being hit to different distances.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Your distance depends on your stance!|Derby Girl}} In the up stance, Link is going to hit groundballs. In the down stance, Link is going to hit flyballs. If Link remains in his normal stance, he hits line drives. Rupees are earned by breaking pots in the field with the ball. Normal pots are worth one Rupee, while a special gold pot is worth five Rupees. If Link is able to hit three pots consecutively, a bird will fly by the field.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|If you hit three pots in a row, you'll see a bird cross the field.|Derby Girl}} If Link is able to hit the bird, he gets 20 Rupees added to his score.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Hit [the bird] for an extra 20 Rupees, kid!|Derby Girl}} Also, on each side of the field there is a crab. If Link hits this crab, the pots reset, allowing more opportunity for points.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Here's a pro tip, kid: the pots reset if you hit one of the crabs.|Derby Girl}} | ||
If Link manages to score over 100 | The cost to play is 50 [[Rupee]]s,{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Hey there, slugger! Welcome back to the Octoball Derby. It's 50 Rupees per game.|Derby Boy}} so it is fairly easy to make a small profit from this mini-game. If Link manages to score over 100 Rupees, he is rewarded by the Derby Boy with a [[Piece of Heart]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Aim to score 100 Rupees or more at Octoball Derby. You'll get a piece of heart if you manage that!|Hint Ghost}} | ||
