The VC Advantage: It continues to be a secret to everybody

by JC Fletcher { Jul 16th 2008 at 4:45PM }


Old Man, the mysterious old man who helps Link in various ways as he quests through Hyrule (except when he's shooting fireballs at Link) rarely has trouble making money. When he feels generous, sure, he'll give you something for free, or for the low, low cost of mastering its use. He often gives cryptic advice for free, as well: "Digdogger hates certain kind of sound."

But Old Man doesn't always work pro bono -- not, for example, if you'd like more bombs. He's not above extorting a door repair charge out of a hapless adventurer, and he makes enough from Money Making Game to pay for an occasional wooden sword. He's even got some kind of hold on the potion industry.

So why, then, is he so inept at robbing Link? He seems to have misinterpreted the usual meaning of the expression "Your money or your life" here, to Link's benefit.

CLICKING LINK HOLDS ANOTHER VC ADVANTAGE FROM LAST WEEK.
