Can Keep Old Items rule-Can someone explain this?

Can someone explain the purpose of the "Can Keep old Items" rule to me? I have yet to find out what it does.....

Quoted from the ZQuest manuel: "Allows you to generally keep older items when you get new items. So, if an item is disabled or stolen, you can use a previous item you may still have." What it means? No idea.

I WOULD say that this probably decides whether or not you keep things like the Magic Sheild after you get the Mirror, but the Mirror Shield can't be eaten by Like Likes, so there's no way to tell. :shrug: Perhaps it was implemented for future use, and they just haven't gotten around to allowing us to disable or remove items from the player yet?

That would make sense, keeping the magic shield after losing the mirror shield. But, again, it's not possible. 😛

Red bubble steals your Magic Sword? No problem, just use the wooden one you have stored away somewhere.

This rule would be more useful if more items could be 'gotten rid of'. Instead of a 'Your Money or Life' room, why not a 'Gimme your Red Candle or you ain't leavin'!' room. Then you'd be forced to use the inferior Blue Candle instead.

This would work for rings, swords, shields, candles, arrows- basically anything that has more than one version (once upon a time: ocarina2, boots2...)

Now, seeing that I am NOT a dev, or even a beta-guy... this is just conjecture and common sense speaking. Am I way off base?

Ohhhh. I was wondering about that too. Will someone please help with my bs zelda graphics problem.😊 😕 😕
