If you have preferences as to the appearances of any of these, by all means, describe them to your heart's content, and they shall be drawn. No problem. Otherwise, questions and comments as follows.


Why the sudden departure from the Rupee scheme? If there are two denominations of lesser rupees, why would there be no greater denominations, yet miscellaneous objects with their worth yet far from their appearance? Or, could it be said that there are objects of equal value in the world that are worth that amount of rupees on pickup and are just immediately turned into that denomination of Rupee? I.e. a seashell can be sold instead of a ten-rupee rupee piece, but there are still 10 rupee pieces in the world? What happened here?


Now, with the bombs... The timing of the explosion is certainly okay. Do you think we could edit the bombs to appear smaller, and to have a longer fuse to match the fuse timing? One of the reasons I want a smaller bomb is so it's easier to believe the size of the explosion, and so I can draw a bomb bag that generates bombs. They'll sort of apparate outside of the bag, and then phase into the cloth of the bag. It's much easier to do when the bombs aren't the size of the bag. :p A smaller bomb also allows for a more distinct fuse.

I am also morbidly curious about the different kinds of keys we can have. We can have a different kind of key for each different dungeon, now that the lockpicks are the "General, non-dungeon-specific" keys. Also, what should the magic key look like? I'm just sort of thinking it'll be a magic lockpick, or a regular lockpick made of really strong material.

Is the Polished Shield a regular Iron Shield (Hylian shield?) only polished and shiny, or an entirely different kind altogether? ... ... Or is the Iron Shield not a Hylian shield at all? Then is the Polished shield a variation of whatever the Iron Shield is or not?


The Bee Smoker: Why would it use magic? It doesn't do any damage. Additionally, perhaps it should only fire one smoke entity at a time, unlike the Red Candle?


There's only one empty bottle? O.o My goodness...


With the Spin Attack Tiger Scroll, I was thinking of letting some old guy teach you the skill for ### Rupees. You pay him the money, and he "gives" you the scroll, though it's invisible. He asks you to perform it in front of him and trigger four crystal switches with it. If only one of them is active for more than a few frames, he removes the invisible item and asks you to try it again for more rupees. When you get it right, you get to keep the (Now visible, non-duplicate) Tiger Scroll. The Crystals can work easily enough with tiered Secrets and scripting, though you'd probably have to leave the house and re-enter it to try again. He can kick us out easily enough with a script though. This guy's house is in the Dark Forest, roughly in the middle of the map on the leftmost edge. There's a sign out front, and brambles in front of his door.

Why the sudden departure from the Rupee scheme? If there are two denominations of lesser rupees, why would there be no greater denominations, yet miscellaneous objects with their worth yet far from their appearance? Or, could it be said that there are objects of equal value in the world that are worth that amount of rupees on pickup and are just immediately turned into that denomination of Rupee?

This change is because I feel that having actual jewels and spoils (as in WW and PH) in lieu of different-coloured rupees makes them a little more memorable. And yes, when Link picks them up, he says "I got a secret seashell! It's worth 10 rupees!" and then gets the rupees. (It's not as if he ever needs to make exact change for those giant golden rupees, anyway.)

Also: something I want to do is place certain equipment items in multiple locations in the quest - for instance, two L1 boomerangs in different dungeons. If Link gets the other boomerang when he already has the first, he says "I've already got this item, but it's worth 100 rupees if I sell it!" and he gets the rupees. The result of this is an interesting interpretation of Zelda lingo - dungeon "treasures" become actual treasures with monetary worth.

Incidentally, rupees are quite scarce in NeoFirst, to a level comparable to First Quest - I edited certain items in such a way as to make grass and bush combos not drop them anymore, and also make enemy rupee drops rarer. (That is: 10 Rupee -> Blue Rupee, Blue Rupee -> Green Rupee, and Green Rupee -> Non-Gameplay Item.) The effect of this is to make the treasure chest cash items even more precious and vital to the player - and also, given the low prices in the shop, to counter the 'Hylian Inflation' effect that has led recent Zelda games to require ten-thousand rupee wallets.

Is the Polished Shield a regular Iron Shield (Hylian shield?) only polished and shiny, or an entirely different kind altogether?

The polished shield is the mirror-surfaced variation of the Hylian Shield (tile 458).

The Bee Smoker: Why would it use magic? It doesn't do any damage. Additionally, perhaps it should only fire one smoke entity at a time, unlike the Red Candle?

It uses magic only as an excuse for why it has unlimited fuel. Given that Link starts with a slowly recharging magic meter, and the Bee Smoker uses the smallest unit of magic, it shouldn't hinder any but the most trigger-happy players' ability to use it.

There's only one empty bottle? O.o My goodness...

Hmm, right. I'll add the other triple-capacity bottle as well.
