Description
Yet another Link and Mega Sableye picture.In Twilight Princess, remember how you had to put a rupee back into its chest because your wallet was usually full?
Well, Mega Sableye's 'rupee' might literally be too large to fit into TP Link's apparently dinky wallet. Link's wallet (in most Zelda games) is full anyway.

But then the game would have to do the math every frame as to how much is in your wallet, given the specific gems inside, and that would drop the frame rate DRASTICALLY.

I suppose you're right, but it's still interesting to think about

actually A) additions pretty cheap processor wise It's division, trig functions and the dreaded Square Root you need to worry about. and B) If I where a lazy programmer I'd store the value until you got another rupee, bought something, or your money changed in some way. Then I'd worry about re-doing the math, This saves processing power for more important stuff. Like physics and graphics.

though that system would get annoying quickly as breaking down your larger rupees would flood your wallet with gems hogging up valuable inventory space that could be used for a larger gem. Unless smaller gems auto combined into larger ones. IE 5 green => 1 blue; 4 blue => 1 red. That might be a good compromise. not realistic, but most games can't be for the sake of being fun.
