      I didn’t want to use dupe glitches in this game, but the economy is ridiculous. Basic armor sets are priced like luxury commodities.

        For me the armor sets aren’t even that expensive, it’s the upgrades that are stupid expensive. 760 rupees per piece is too much, it’s 2200+ rupees per set which is stupid expensive considering how many sets we have and how little money we get. Not to mention some of the materials are just annoying to get. I got around 12 fire tails from doing most of death mountain region and the start of the gerudo desert area. You need 30 to fully upgrade the cold suit so I thought I might as well grind a bit to get the rest. About an hour later I got more 3 tails. I then proceeded to dupe all the tails I would need in less than 15 minutes. I’ve now killed plenty more but I still wouldn’t have 30 if I wanted to do it legit.

        I don’t think the economy is that bad, but the game could be a lot better about telling you how it wants you to make money.

          How does it want you to make money? Hitting ore rocks and selling the gems is basically my only plan haha

            I ended up making most of my money by selling spare monster parts - the fangs and such that you’re meant to attach to arrows, not swords. I had hundreds of them, never used them, and they aren’t significantly used in armor upgrades - selling most of what I had netted probably close to 10k rupees.

              I do this too. My only gripe is that I have to use a spreadsheet to track my armor upgrades and what mats I still need so I don’t end up selling too many. This could be fixed with something like a storage item that I could just dump the mats I want to keep in and sell everything else.

                You’re more organized than I was at least - I just kept all that in a notepad tab.

    I’m still on the version they shipped out at release so I can keep my dupe glitch. Somehow I’ve put in over 200 hours in the game despite being a cheater, and I’m still grinding like crazy. Not sure why Nintendo set the economy the way they did tbh

      There are several dupe glitches. I’m always running the latest version of the game and yesterday I gave myself 999,999 rupees using this glitch. It took me 5min since I already had a bit over a hundred diamonds on me thanks to this dupe glitch.

      I play Zelda to explore and kick ass, not to worry about running out of money.

      Yeah, I usually don’t mind grinding that much, but grinding thousands of ores by mining rocks that destroy my hammer for every dozen of ores is awful. You have to grind rocks to build hammers to grind more ores to trade them for other things but you can only do that a few times per day, and then you trade these new things for a battery cell. Repeat all of that 47 times to get the full battery. What were they thinking ?

      Even if I enjoyed the game there is no way I’ll replay that ever again.
