Considering the Zelda series frequently implies that Rupees aren't just gems, but rather gems with magical properties like with the great fairies and some magic armors, I kind of just assumed the Rupoor was an anti rupee that saps the magic and color out of your rupees.
@@devanthompson482 I completely disagree, because if you don't watch the video first, or at least start the video while you read comments, you'll lack almost all context around the comments your reading, and might even end up suggesting something might be the case that is outright talked about directly in the video.
What I was thinking was something similar...except that once the rupoor comes into contact with a rupee, both the rupoor and rupee disappear 'cause both annihilated each other...like matter and anti-matter, but without the explosion.
The Magic Armor has a special place in my heart. I was wearing it during the final battle, and my rupees ran out just as I won, so the final cinematic had my Link running around with the depowered armor clanking with every step
With all these scams in Zelda, it makes you wonder why people were surprised by the reward for getting all the Korok seeds in BotW lol. Also, side note, seeing Josh with a baby is really wild. He was one of the two major reasons I became a UA-camr myself, and I’ve been watching his videos since 2012. I remember when he graduated college, when he got engaged, and now, he has a kid, and I’m blessed enough to be doing UA-cam full time myself. This man has low key been a giant part of my life, and I’ve never even met or spoken to him lol.
I still think the devs making the reward for the Korok seeds, golden poop is because they actively don't want people to get them all. I think they wanted them plentiful but they also didn't want people to waste time trying to collect them. Like, whenever I play OoT I feel like I MUST get every skutula to save the family even though the final prize is lame. I think making the final prize golden poop is them saying, just enjoy the game, don't collect all of these things.
Same, I used to watch him all the time when I started high school. I haven't really been watching him much for the last few years, but it was nice seeing how he's doing after all this time.
While I will admit I very much enjoyed my time in the world of BotW, the exploration and adventuring felt really hollow compared to my experiences in prior Zelda games. I suppose the sense of accomplishment that I got in LoZ, AoL, or aLttP will likely never be matched in future titles. BotW felt more like a dopamine/morphine drip, and a vast majority of the content seemed entirely optional and inconsequential, not to mention generic and tropey. There was no story or character development either, which is something that I felt had been getting steadily better in Zelda titles up to this point. Just stock MMORPG style collection quests, and a 5 min storyline reiterated every few hours in case you forgot in between hours of waiting for shrine load screens, teleport load screens, endless repetitive cooking 1 meal at a time or conversation trees that can't be skipped. I dunno, I kinda felt like the whole game experience was a really beautifully designed scam.
I couldn't BELIEVE it when I saw that it had been 4 years since our last dedicated Zelda video. Hope this jumbo-sized video makes up for it! Have a great weekend, everybody :)
If you're interested in any other Zelda videos, might I recommend making one or several about the different manga? I've been reading the Twilight Princess manga, and I have to say that it is AMAZING. It does a great job adapting the game without just being the game on paper, Link has a personality and character, there's more depth given to backstories, it's a phenomenal adaptation.
Giant's Knife is actually a good buy. At that point in the game, your Rupees are constantly hitting your max capacity. So if you buy the Giant's Knife, you can save it for Boss Fights only and have a nice and easy time with them. You likely won't even miss the 200 Rupees. And you don't even have to do the long boring Biggorn Sword quest chain at all. Even better: store the Biggorn jump attack damage, and then crouch stab with the Master Sword for MASSIVE DAMAGE without ever breaking it.
The bottled items in OoT I always considered them to be expensive on purpose so you never buy them, but there to hint you into what things you can scoop up, in case you hadn't thought of it
I still think that Ocarina has the best shops in the entire series. For some reason all the newer games have pitiful selection in their shops. BotW obviously doesnt fit this, but their shops are also just a boring scroll menu
@@trequor eeh, I don't think the fault with BotW really fits since it does provide the same with OoT while being far more maluable *and* "proper" shops have their wares out in the open just like OoT had! but again, I think the original post needs more visibility for its understanding of game design especially when the prices are going to be more than your max cash when you need them!
Honestly disagree with the TP Magic Armor being a scam First, there's the fact that the Cave of Ordeals ONLY drops Rupees (aside from a few dig spots with hearts). It's clearly designed to make use of the Magic Armor. Also, completing the Poe sidequest allows you to get infinite Rupees by repeatedly talking to the formerly cursed guy's cat. It's super easy to fill your wallet back up to recharge the armor. Also there's the fact that this game makes the extremely bizarre choice of not letting you take Rupees from chests if your wallet is full. If you want to open every chest in a dungeon, Magic Armor makes it easy!
While that last part was changed in TPHD where you still empty out chests with a full wallet, I 100% agree - the Magic Armor was made to be used for the Cave of Ordeals
@@jaidens.g.1920 Wait really? I never knew you should use the Magic Armor in Cave of Ordeals. I just got the armor and never used it because it was necessary to 100% the game.
Agree. Even discounting the Cave of Ordeals, the Magic Armor is basically the only thing to use your Rupees on at the end of the game. It's definitely meant to be an 'endgame flex', and while it's technically an endless money sink, one has to ask what the value of money is when you have nothing left to purchase. Rupees are just a worthless collectible at that point, so yeah, why not be able to make your INVINCIBLE with them?
What does any of that matter though? By the time you're getting the Magic Armor, you're at the end of the game and no longer need it. Literally just bought it to see what it would do, and was so disappointed it made me dislike Twilight Princess.
It's also worth pointing out that it's amazing for keeping your hearts full for Great Spin, which is great during moments like the Twilight Palace illusory Zant fight where he summons monster hordes at you.
I’d like to note that the bug medal DOES show you where bugs are currently. At least in the HD remake. I was using it last night to finish some upgrades and that’s how it was working.
I'm so happy for you guys, congratulations on your baby! I've been watching since you and Renae were reviewing new Red Bulls like 8 years ago and so much has changed since then. I wish you all the health and happiness from here on!
I think I'll take this opportunity to say that Skyward Sword has one of the best economies of any Zelda game. During my playthroughs I was always super excited to see what I could buy back on Skyloft and it always felt super rewarding.
@@DementedDuskull That one, maybe i'm the only one but doing that minigame made me win tons of rupees, i think with every trial you could obtain like 500 or so, i used to obtain the max amount in a couple of minutes.
I really don't get why everyone hates on the magic armor from Twilight Princess. its the only game in the series that ensures that after you buy everything, rupees still have worth and a function. Plus it makes the harder levels and bosses easier for peeps that are just starting out with games.
To me it literally seems like the equivalent of Super Sonic so yeah, I kind of agree. I haven't actually played TP to know how worth it it really is compared to not having it, but I do think that getting to the late game of other Zelda games and always having max Rupees and nothing to do with them does happen enough to where it seems like an interesting change.
@@Chibi_Rikka You can start getting this armor, pretty much after beating the 3rd dungeon. So like half way through the game. And unless you do the labor of delivering thing after making the initial thousand donation, you have to do like a two thousand rupee donation. On top of paying 598 for the armor. So potentially 3598 rupees down the drain, with you just barely having 600 rupee wallet to hold and spend rupees with. Which unless you're good at finding bugs, you probably won't have the 1000 rupee wallet to help out with. Also there is a 1000 rupee donation church guy, who gives you one heart piece after donating that 1000 rupees. So chances are that you wasted your time donating to that beforehand. As for how much the Magic Armor drains, it's 2 rupees per second, with it losing 12 each time you get hit. So, yeah, it doesn't last all that long.
@@byronlyons3548 Well sure but the point is if by the end of the game your wallet is just sitting maxed out at 1000 rupees with nothing to spend them on anyway you may as well use the armor when you need it and get some use from them, as opposed to them literally being useless. It's not like rupee farming is some impossible task, at least not in the Zelda games I've played, so I wouldn't even consider the amount spent to get it as going 'down the drain' when you can literally just find them in someone's yard every time you leave their house (unless it doesn't work like that in TP, I don't know).
To be fair to the magic armor, the other big reward (the one for collecting all of the poes souls) is an infinite money source. Combine the two, and you are invincible at will basically. Really helps in the 50 floor dungeon too, past where money matters
I hope you and your family are doing good, we miss seeing you on UA-cam and on twitch, I hope to see you back on here soon, but either way, I hope you guys have a happy life together.
In all fairness, in all fairness, the broken Giant's Knife is useful in cheesing the Shadow Link fight in the Water Temple. He cannot stand on a blade and counter reposte you if you have no blade in which to stand on. And then you just jam the broken blade into his stomach for easy damage, so not entirely worthless. but aside from this one instance, yeah pretty worthless
WOW. I haven’t watched your channel in years, but you were one of the first UA-camrs I ever watched, and it’s GOOD to be back! Congratulations on your son, he’s so cute!
Dude get a PC and the game will aways run the same and you will never have to buy it for a new console. I know it is probably to late but there is still time to stop
@@InMintCondition13 Yeah I figured when you said that it meant you've bought it multiple times. Which INCLUDES the possibility of buying the multiple PC versions that have come out.
The thing that made me mad about the rupee armor wasn't how much it cost, but rather HOW it drained your rupees. The way it was described, I thought that the rupees wouldn't leave your pocket until you took damage. Instead, it constantly drained your rupees every second you wore it for no reason, whether you were getting hurt or not.
@@lynndavinci4753 You can buy it on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and even UA-cam. But again, you have to pay. Pirating is always an option though if you'd rather not pay, I know it's on the fmovies website
I know it's been over a year since this video has been uploaded. I literally just watched it and the thing that made me cry the most was that outro. It made me realize how far yet not so things had come since I started following you JWittz about a decade ago. Not just how far you've come but how far I have and all the setbacks along the way. Thank you for always uploading, even at a slower place, doesn't matter, thank you. Always been a beacon of the internet. Please, if this is your dream, making the internet more entertaining, please keep chasing the dream. Wherever it takes you, I'll be there... probably
Hey Josh I hope that you and your baby are doing fine. I hope that family time is not consuming you but appreciating life and what has given to you. I hope you come back soon to youtube or twitch. Either way I just hope you are a happy man.
I remember being a crazy fan of this channel when I was 12 (8 years ago) and at that moment it had 1 million subscribers. Do you guys know why it got so stagnant?
Always have been a favorite channel of mine and still go back and rewatch now and then. This was lots of fun - having only played a few Zelda games myself. I think I bought the magic Armour but I didn't use it and more just because I could
I don't get why they didn't make the TP Magic Armour work like Wind Waker's, where it only drains rupees when you get hit. It's still not great but it's infinitely more practical.
You forgot to point out that in OG Wind Waker, Tingle's price of 201 rupees forces you have upgraded your wallet, since it's 1 rupee more that the 200 rupee max you start with.
not gonna lie, completely forgot this channel existed, despite watching since 2012 or atleast early 2013, lol. guess i got some catching up to do. edit: geez, how fitting the video i tune into for the first time in years and its the video where he shows off his kid, lol. pretty wild. congrats on the baby jwittz! hes adorable and i love the name choice!
Link Between Worlds tip: Save often, and just restart from the save to get your items back for free. A must for hard mode, yes, you lose your progress up to that point, but not a big deal the more often you save. Triforce hunting in WW: one of the reason this is my least favorite game. Magic Armor: possibly the best item in twilight princess for both the ganon fight and the cave of ordeals. and since rupees are plentiful in that game, I'm sorry, I have to 101% disagree with that tier 1.
Yeah I've never understood why people hate the armor so much. It isn't really meant to be worn all of the time. Plus you end up breaking even with how much it can trivialize some of the harder challenges.
You can literally cheese the Cave of Ordeals on the Wii, so you don't have to waste fighting or using the armor for that. As for the Ganon fight, just get good. So no, it still really isn't the best item, by a mile. Maybe if it didn't drain so fast, or a lot whenever you get hit, it would be better. Honestly the Magic Armor in Wind Waker original is better, by how much it drains isn't dependent on how much you get hit, but rather on how fast it drains the magic meter normally. That and it doesn't turn you into a slug in human form when it runs out.
The worst part about the Minish Cap figurines is that you can get only figurines of monsters and people you have met. That means the percentage of getting a new figure increases the later in the game you buy it, but your seashells and rupees cap at 999, so you have to keep buying throughout the game. And you even have to leave treasures unopened until it is time to complete the collection.
It's been awhile. Since I know you're one of the go to guys for pokemon. How has Pokemon Legends Arceus changed or enhanced the pokemon lore? Especially since it takes place in the past.
I would argue that it is not. It is different visually, and that's about it. Metroid: Zero Mission, that was a large improvement, restructuring the areas, adding new bosses and enemies and abilities, and even end game content, along side the visual changes. Link's Awakening... pretty much only had the stupid dungeon creator, and some very minor differences like changing the crane minigame.
He started a regular work week job as a content marketeer somewhere on a Twitch channel I think. As he became a father I think he stated before that a standardized income felt more secure than UA-cam and twitch
The Link's Awakening tiles aren't that expensive - though only if you've gotten invested in the map building to begin with, since the build your own dungeons can pay out stupid amounts of rupees. It is, however, a massive waste of time - after playing with it a lot myself you can only go through the same handful of rooms so many times before you hate all of them. I actually expected there to be more tiles to buy; firstly expand the extremely limited dungeon palatte on offer but also just to have something to *spend* rupees on. By the end of the build your own dungeons you can get crazy loaded, but at the same time there's nothing left to buy! Tldr link's awakening link is the only link that can afford the malo mart magic armor.
Actually, the Giant's Knife is amazing. Because in its broken form it makes the dark link fight an absolute joke since he cannot step on the blade so you can just wail him to death X)
Jwittz is a UA-cam veteran and still makes quality content. I salute you man. He never gave up on his fans, and I absolutely respect that. The first person I ever subbed to on UA-cam btw!
My head canon for the Magic Armor is that all the drained money is secretly being teleported to Malo Mart while Malo is just sat there laughing maniacally.
I'm so glad that you included the Giant's Knife from Ocarina of Time, on this list, since I always found it to be such a ripoff, and I agree that the Magic Armor is a big ripoff, too, unless you're able to get that huge 9999 wallet from Twilight Princess HD (locked behind a real life paywall, too). Also, congratulations on baby Lincoln.
twilight princess has a rupee problem. There are WAY to many of them. You will constantly have a full wallet and open another chest with an orange rupee. Once you pay for the magic armour and give 1000 rupees to that begger you don’t have anything else to spend them on. The armour solves you over abundance of rupees issue.
The TP magic armor is kinda funny to me as someone who plays randomizers. TP randomizer has an option that, like HD, increases the size of all your wallets, but prices are still built around the normal wallet sizes. In other words, you now have room for a lot of excess rupees, and each rupee chest becomes primarily magic armor fuel. Which is good, since I feel it shines when you have thousands on hand for a delve into the Cave of Ordeals.
I have a question about game prices… Say a game gets released on a system exclusively. Then a few months later, they make a port to other systems. That port is full price. And older game is ported to modern hardware, with extra features. That is also full price. One is okay, the other is not. So how old does a game have to be before a port becomes a rip off? I mean, they a both ports, the modern one might even have less work put into it. It’s a straight port after all.
Jwittz know it’s really great to see you just about 10 years ago I first subscribed just know I’ve been here since prof it and will be here for the foreseeable future

So potentially 3598 rupees down the drain, with you just barely having 600 rupee wallet to hold and spend rupees with. Which unless you're good at finding bugs, you probably won't have the 1000 rupee wallet to help out with. Also there is a 1000 rupee donation church guy, who gives you one heart piece after donating that 1000 rupees. So chances are that you wasted your time donating to that beforehand.
As for how much the Magic Armor drains, it's 2 rupees per second, with it losing 12 each time you get hit. So, yeah, it doesn't last all that long.
@@byronlyons3548 Well sure but the point is if by the end of the game your wallet is just sitting maxed out at 1000 rupees with nothing to spend them on anyway you may as well use the armor when you need it and get some use from them, as opposed to them literally being useless. It's not like rupee farming is some impossible task, at least not in the Zelda games I've played, so I wouldn't even consider the amount spent to get it as going 'down the drain' when you can literally just find them in someone's yard every time you leave their house (unless it doesn't work like that in TP, I don't know).
Fun fact: the Complimentary ID when shown to Beetle refills your hearts and magic. Which is nice but like…yeah. Still useless.
He's still alive guys. He has a kid now and is busy being a father for them.
Plus he's making a basketball game
To be fair to the magic armor, the other big reward (the one for collecting all of the poes souls) is an infinite money source. Combine the two, and you are invincible at will basically. Really helps in the 50 floor dungeon too, past where money matters
I hope you and your family are doing good, we miss seeing you on UA-cam and on twitch, I hope to see you back on here soon, but either way, I hope you guys have a happy life together.
In all fairness, in all fairness, the broken Giant's Knife is useful in cheesing the Shadow Link fight in the Water Temple. He cannot stand on a blade and counter reposte you if you have no blade in which to stand on. And then you just jam the broken blade into his stomach for easy damage, so not entirely worthless. but aside from this one instance, yeah pretty worthless
so crazy seeing one of my low key fav yters going from dad vibes to literal dad
WOW. I haven’t watched your channel in years, but you were one of the first UA-camrs I ever watched, and it’s GOOD to be back! Congratulations on your son, he’s so cute!
I love how your baby is just vibing, lil man is chill lmao
Missed opportunity to say “Hyrule Robbery”
This tier list makes you relive soooo much pain, but then seeing Lincoln and how adorable he is makes it all go away
"I'm part of the problem!"
My relationship with Skyrim.
Dude get a PC and the game will aways run the same and you will never have to buy it for a new console. I know it is probably to late but there is still time to stop
@@Wesrl I DO have it on PC. I have the original and Special Edition, and no regrets have been had. Just recently added it to my Switch.
@@InMintCondition13 Yeah I figured when you said that it meant you've bought it multiple times. Which INCLUDES the possibility of buying the multiple PC versions that have come out.
Anyone else hearing Tim's (NintendoCapriSun) one green rupee scream? LOL
I understand why people don't like the magic armor but it was my savior during the Cave of Ordeals.
I'm starting to think that's where it's intended to be used. Saved my keister in the final room.
The thing that made me mad about the rupee armor wasn't how much it cost, but rather HOW it drained your rupees. The way it was described, I thought that the rupees wouldn't leave your pocket until you took damage. Instead, it constantly drained your rupees every second you wore it for no reason, whether you were getting hurt or not.
I just finished watching King of the Nerds season 2... perfect timing for a new video!
LOLLL
Where can I watch that? I only remember seeing memes from it when it first came out ages ago.
@@lynndavinci4753 You can buy it on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and even UA-cam. But again, you have to pay. Pirating is always an option though if you'd rather not pay, I know it's on the fmovies website
I know it's been over a year since this video has been uploaded. I literally just watched it and the thing that made me cry the most was that outro. It made me realize how far yet not so things had come since I started following you JWittz about a decade ago. Not just how far you've come but how far I have and all the setbacks along the way. Thank you for always uploading, even at a slower place, doesn't matter, thank you. Always been a beacon of the internet. Please, if this is your dream, making the internet more entertaining, please keep chasing the dream. Wherever it takes you, I'll be there... probably
Hey Josh I hope that you and your baby are doing fine. I hope that family time is not consuming you but appreciating life and what has given to you.
I hope you come back soon to youtube or twitch.
Either way I just hope you are a happy man.
I remember being a crazy fan of this channel when I was 12 (8 years ago) and at that moment it had 1 million subscribers. Do you guys know why it got so stagnant?
I played through TP HD on Hero Mode and the Ganondorf amiibo, so the magic armor was actually worth the investment lol.
Especially if you do both of those together on a 3-heart run. Man, that was... an experience
Always have been a favorite channel of mine and still go back and rewatch now and then.
This was lots of fun - having only played a few Zelda games myself. I think I bought the magic Armour but I didn't use it and more just because I could
I don't get why they didn't make the TP Magic Armour work like Wind Waker's, where it only drains rupees when you get hit. It's still not great but it's infinitely more practical.
The Wind Waker magic armour works off the magic meter though
@@trequor In the original yes but in the remake the Magic Armor drains rupees but only when you get hit
JWittz: "But for now-"
Ad: "Old money is OUT!"
This was an awesome dig at the series from a fan. Absolutely loved it! Also fatherhood suits you! Keep up the great work man, you're killing it!
You forgot to point out that in OG Wind Waker, Tingle's price of 201 rupees forces you have upgraded your wallet, since it's 1 rupee more that the 200 rupee max you start with.
not gonna lie, completely forgot this channel existed, despite watching since 2012 or atleast early 2013, lol. guess i got some catching up to do.
edit: geez, how fitting the video i tune into for the first time in years and its the video where he shows off his kid, lol. pretty wild.
congrats on the baby jwittz! hes adorable and i love the name choice!
Dude I love that you're being a dad. Even if it means less JWitts content, you make sure you raise that kid up right. We all believe in you.
Link Between Worlds tip: Save often, and just restart from the save to get your items back for free. A must for hard mode, yes, you lose your progress up to that point, but not a big deal the more often you save.
Triforce hunting in WW: one of the reason this is my least favorite game.
Magic Armor: possibly the best item in twilight princess for both the ganon fight and the cave of ordeals. and since rupees are plentiful in that game, I'm sorry, I have to 101% disagree with that tier 1.
Yeah I've never understood why people hate the armor so much. It isn't really meant to be worn all of the time. Plus you end up breaking even with how much it can trivialize some of the harder challenges.
You can literally cheese the Cave of Ordeals on the Wii, so you don't have to waste fighting or using the armor for that. As for the Ganon fight, just get good. So no, it still really isn't the best item, by a mile. Maybe if it didn't drain so fast, or a lot whenever you get hit, it would be better.
Honestly the Magic Armor in Wind Waker original is better, by how much it drains isn't dependent on how much you get hit, but rather on how fast it drains the magic meter normally. That and it doesn't turn you into a slug in human form when it runs out.
Congratulations on the birth of your son!! I see the resemblance (awesome!)!! What a reveal. Great video as always.
I took these wise words spoken by a zelda character to heart. "Sorry Link I can't give credit come back when you're a little MMMMM... richer!"
The worst part about the Minish Cap figurines is that you can get only figurines of monsters and people you have met. That means the percentage of getting a new figure increases the later in the game you buy it, but your seashells and rupees cap at 999, so you have to keep buying throughout the game. And you even have to leave treasures unopened until it is time to complete the collection.
It's been awhile. Since I know you're one of the go to guys for pokemon. How has Pokemon Legends Arceus changed or enhanced the pokemon lore? Especially since it takes place in the past.
Happy holidays Jwittz and family
I'd at least argue that the Switch remake of Link's Awakening is sizeably different enough to be almost worth it's price.
I would argue that it is not.
It is different visually, and that's about it.
Metroid: Zero Mission, that was a large improvement, restructuring the areas, adding new bosses and enemies and abilities, and even end game content, along side the visual changes.
Link's Awakening... pretty much only had the stupid dungeon creator, and some very minor differences like changing the crane minigame.
Fatherhood is truly awesome dude. So happy for you.
Good sir it’s been 6 months, are you alive?
He is active on Twitter
I've been wondering the same thing. I know he may be active on Twitter but I'm just surprised he has not made any videos, LIKE AT ALL.
@@LaSoldier505 He became a father. So he became busy with parenting and other things
He started a regular work week job as a content marketeer somewhere on a Twitch channel I think. As he became a father I think he stated before that a standardized income felt more secure than UA-cam and twitch
@@DaanCusters94 at least he found happiness with another woman after getting divorced.
Omg what an absolute cutie! So happy for you and Rene, take all the time you need Papa-Wittz. :D
The Link's Awakening tiles aren't that expensive - though only if you've gotten invested in the map building to begin with, since the build your own dungeons can pay out stupid amounts of rupees. It is, however, a massive waste of time - after playing with it a lot myself you can only go through the same handful of rooms so many times before you hate all of them. I actually expected there to be more tiles to buy; firstly expand the extremely limited dungeon palatte on offer but also just to have something to *spend* rupees on. By the end of the build your own dungeons you can get crazy loaded, but at the same time there's nothing left to buy!
Tldr link's awakening link is the only link that can afford the malo mart magic armor.
that is the same like as A like to the past and Oracle of season and ages
This is the only gaming channel ive been subbed to since i was little. Really part of my child hood
It honestly blows my mind how many people are asking where he is. He had a kid, it's literally in the outro.
Actually, the Giant's Knife is amazing. Because in its broken form it makes the dark link fight an absolute joke since he cannot step on the blade so you can just wail him to death X)
I haven't heard that one before!
I just pounded him to dust with the Megaton Hammer 😂
Congrats on being a father Jwittz!
Jwittz is a UA-cam veteran and still makes quality content. I salute you man. He never gave up on his fans, and I absolutely respect that. The first person I ever subbed to on UA-cam btw!
I knew what number 1 would be and I was still shocked
My head canon for the Magic Armor is that all the drained money is secretly being teleported to Malo Mart while Malo is just sat there laughing maniacally.
I'm so glad that you included the Giant's Knife from Ocarina of Time, on this list, since I always found it to be such a ripoff, and I agree that the Magic Armor is a big ripoff, too, unless you're able to get that huge 9999 wallet from Twilight Princess HD (locked behind a real life paywall, too). Also, congratulations on baby Lincoln.
twilight princess has a rupee problem. There are WAY to many of them. You will constantly have a full wallet and open another chest with an orange rupee. Once you pay for the magic armour and give 1000 rupees to that begger you don’t have anything else to spend them on. The armour solves you over abundance of rupees issue.
...Y-you okay there bud?
The TP magic armor is kinda funny to me as someone who plays randomizers. TP randomizer has an option that, like HD, increases the size of all your wallets, but prices are still built around the normal wallet sizes. In other words, you now have room for a lot of excess rupees, and each rupee chest becomes primarily magic armor fuel. Which is good, since I feel it shines when you have thousands on hand for a delve into the Cave of Ordeals.
We need more videos homie
Give him time, he's just being a father for his kid
@@llamaduden3397my b I didn’t know
JOSH HOLDING LINK GIVES ME LIFE!! YOU GUYS ARE ADORABLE!!!!! congrats again on you lil man, JWittz and Renee!!!!
He’s back
Lincoln is such a good name. Now the Legend of Zelda franchise has officially entered your family tree.
I have a question about game prices…
Say a game gets released on a system exclusively. Then a few months later, they make a port to other systems. That port is full price.
And older game is ported to modern hardware, with extra features. That is also full price.
One is okay, the other is not. So how old does a game have to be before a port becomes a rip off? I mean, they a both ports, the modern one might even have less work put into it. It’s a straight port after all.
So happy for ya man. I'm a father as well and it's so amazing. Congrats and I look forward to the new videos you will eventually make
3:55 made me so mad when i first did it. this game LOVES to just give you the biggest middle fingers
I love how you wanted to watch Sherlock in your ad, but Netflix was like "Check out the spicy new Beastars season!"
Well, we can only hope the price of college has been significantly reduced by the time little Linc gets there
Awww!!!! Baby cameo 🥰
Take your time uploading videos, we’re happy to see you happy!!
"Imagine having responsibilities and a kid, instead of talking to 285,207 strangers about fictional money laundering in Zelda"

I thought it was a negative Skyward Sword HD review before reading the title
Jwittz know it’s really great to see you just about 10 years ago I first subscribed just know I’ve been here since prof it and will be here for the foreseeable future
Where are ya bud?
I would give up my children to have that clip of links face staring at the rupoor saying "look how they massacred my boy" on my wall like art
Congrats JWittz. He is so cute.
I dont know how long you've been using this new intro+song but I really dig it. Way cooler than the one you've used for so long.
where you at man
Magic Armor from TP is like Super Sonic but worse.
