I'm early game (just getting into the 3rd area), and I have 800 max rupees and not a damn thing to spend it on.
You sir, clearly have not been to beedles flying shop. He sells adventure pack increase, as well as tailsmen, and eventually, a heart piece. Several things are well over 1k in price.....
Item upgrades, new items from the Bazaar or from Beedle, potions, potion upgrades. I found myself spending money all the way through the game, though I did occasionally stockpile for a bit while saving up for a high-price item.
edit: huh, new page. This was in response to Derrick.
Well, if you really wanted to try to "beat" Thrill Digger (dig up every possible square that doesn't have a bomb?), then you need to get a sheet of graph paper, draw a box of the appropriate size, and record everything as you dig it up. Then prepare for the slowest and most difficult game of Minesweeper you ever played, and you'll still be making a lot of random choices which are likely to explode in your face.

Right, that's what i thought....impossible....thanks Darian...
There are extra prizes, but you need to make a perfect run. I "cleared" beginner and got I think a golden skull treasure for my effort. Whoopie.
I wouldn't even attempt it on Intermediate or Expert just due to the inherent inaccuracies in the "minesweeper" system being used. The fact that a blue rupee can be next to one OR TWO bad spots (and so on up the chain) makes a logical determination impossible.
On Expert mostly I just dig randomly until I either get blasted or hit a silver rupee. They tend to come in bunches, so pick a direction and hope.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's motion control scheme is here to stay, series boss Eiji Aonuma has said.
Despite initial misgivings about requiring players to use the Wii Remote's MotionPlus attachment, Aonuma now believes buttons are a thing of the past for the Zelda series.
"I honestly think we cannot go back to button controls now", Aonuma revealed in a new ONM interview (via Kotaku). "So I think that these controls will be used in future Zelda titles, too."
Nintendo demonstrated a Zelda "experience" for the Wii U during its unveiling at E3 this year.
The Wii U's tablet controller was used as a touch-screen inventory.
Will players be asked to use a Wii Remote Plus and tablet controller together? Or will the inevitable Wii U incarnation include better usage of the tablet, too?
Zelda games for handheld systems will presumably keep the series' classic button controls. After this year's re-release of Ocarina of Time, the next 3DS Zelda game will be all-new, Aonuma recently said.
There are a few places I wish the control was tighter, like riding the mine carts, but that's about it and it was such a small part of the game. Otherwise it's been pretty easy getting used to the things.
Upgrades really start to become a thing some time after the 3rd dungeon, but up until that point it's all Beedle baby. Go grab yourself some extra pouch space, an increased wallet size or a decent medal. That oughta put your bank through the floor pretty quick.
EDIT: Damnit, that's what I get for forgetting to check the new page. Oh well...
While we're at money spending tips though, I might as well mention that you shouldn't neglect to upgrade your potions. If you've got a heart medal and can find more hearts that way potions start to take sort of a back seat, but they're still useful. I've started to keep two bottles of improved potions in my pouch wherever I go.
Zephiran on
Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.
I've yet to feel the need to carry potions but I've always been that way with zelda games. I just carry fairies around and let them heal me automatically when I die.
As soon as I started using the Sacred Shield I always kept a bottle of improved repairing potion in my pack just in case. I've yet to need it, but that's partly because I'm pretty good at shield bashing when I find it necessary.
Yeah, I carry one shield potion (un-improved because I never have enough bugs of whatever they need) just in case my shield breaks. Also one fairy, and one empty because you know they're going to ask you to store something in it at some point.
After third dungeon:
Like the spirit water or pumpkin soup for an earlier example.
Also, apparently I am terrible at shield bashing when it involves anything other than deflecting deku scrub bullets back at them. I've never used the shield in a fight, and I probably should be. I should probably experiment the next time I'm up against a Stalfos, because those guys wrecked me recently. Or the moblins with the huge shields.

Are you really going to block incorrectly so many times that it'll break before it repairs itself? I found I've never needed the revitalizing potions outside of when I first started playing and didn't have a hang of timing/recognizing enemy cues.

Probably not, but it's not like that pouch was going to be taken up by anything more useful and it was nice to have the insurance.
I just wish you could give the beetle wheels so you could go around with it hugging the ground. Can you imagine the joy of cutting Moblins feet to make them topple over on their fat ass?
Heh, "Topple", I need to get back to Xenoblade...

Well, Mogmas have their reputation to think of. There is a place with infinite rupees though.
One of the digging spots underground in, I believe, the Fire Sanctuary yields several red rupees which respawn every time you come back. Shame I already cleaned out Beedle at that point though. It's a bit amusing he keeps coming back every morning even after he has run out of wares to sell.

It's in one of the underground areas. The red rupees are sitting neatly in a square and it takes like ten seconds to go up and down to collect them. Beats Fun Fun Island or minesweeper I reckon.
Eh. If you spend your rupees wisely you shouldn't have money troubles. The bug medal for example is useless. After some time you can draw on walls every hour to make silver rupees appear. The one outside the Sealed Temple is easily accessible. Rupees are a non-issue. I just found it funny there's an infinite treasure trove in the Mogma's habitat.

The begginer was a heart piece, the others, not sure...
Are you sure? Did you complete them? How do you know? I think they are impossible.

You probably need to visit Beedle's air shop. It will make you beg for a bigger wallet.
edit: I should push refresh more often.

Here's hoping I can find another wallet upgrade soon.

You're in luck!
Then you haven't been to Beedle's shop yet... I have spent so much money there.

I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

Oh man, I need to use bombs more often. I love that you can store them now. Also, a bomb for those yellow deku babas is wonderful.
Probably not, but it's not like that pouch was going to be taken up by anything more useful and it was nice to have the insurance.
Yeah, I figured that one out pretty early. It was always the standard way to kill them in ALTTP
Defend with the shield when it attacks, then do a horizontal slice. 1-hit kill.
You can either buy the motion plus add-on or the motion plus controller seperately.

That's two hits. :P
The beetle cuts their stems. Screw 'em.

The only treasure you take from the Volcano area is a pair of earrings.

Sweet, where, be specific!
I've dug into holes that yielded 7 items instead of the usual 3 before.
Technically there are a couple places with infinite rupees, it's just a matter of spending the time.
The most accessible being Link's own closet. Every time you load the game, another 5 or 20 rupees spawns in there.

I like the shooting pumpkin minigame myself, since it's fun to score combos. Get under 400 I think and you get 50 rupees.
