G'day mates Austin John place here and today we're gonna be talking about being
the thief and legend of zelda links awakening for the Nintendo switch you
may be asking about my strange Australian accent well my strange
Australian accent is because for several days of the year that there's an
international release of a game I'm an Australian citizen don't believe me look
at the way my toilet flushes and just did not throw you off I'm gonna go back
to my American accent now that way it's not as off-putting you're fine so great
whether you're picking up links awakening today or today in a different
time zone or tomorrow or a year from now that's fine as soon as you start the
game there's one very important choice you need to make are you a thief the
reason I ask that is because when playing this game there's going to be
many opportunities that you need to purchase some very expensive items from
the shop and the reason I'm making this video before the American audience gets
the game is because you need to know this before you play as soon as you
start up the game you're going to notice that boom there's the shovel that costs
two hundred rupees if harder to walk in a Home Depot or they'll show you an
equivalent of that and see a shovel for two hundred rupees
I'd take that shovel and hit someone with it and piece of Arts 200 rupees
that's actually a very fair price as you can see I have 42 rupees I I'm a poor
boy you have an option here and the option is you can steal things there are
consequences to your actions unlike other video games if I were to
take this and I would just go walk out the door this guy's all like hey stop
you got to pay put it back and rightfully so because I'm trying to
steal it if you do steal an item two things happen one you get the item for
free which is nice however you're banned from that shop if you were to go back
into a store that the guy knew that you stole from him there would be
consequences to your actions and Link's Awakening is no different and secondly
if you're caught as a thief you'll be labeled as a thief and I'm gonna be
getting into the details of that in just a second here which if you do want to
steal from this man which I do not recommend that you do you need to be a
little crafty about it because if he faces in this
direction or this direction or anything over here he will see you walk out so
you need to leave while he's not looking which is actually a little bit harder
than it sounds I found that the best way to do it is to come over here to the
right side and find the very small area that if you were to face down he looks
down face up he looks up and you'll notice that he moves sort of on his own
timer you could also be right up against him and the closer you are to him
the less you actually have to travel down up there we go you walk out says
guess what you got it for free are you proud of yourself well fantastic we just
got ourselves a peace of heart as you could see right here in the top left I
have two I got one in the crane game and then I got one here now if we were to go
back inside of this shop we have to face the consequences but before we head back
into that shop I'm gonna go in here and I'm gonna save my game right underneath
your hearts meter is a little picture of a gravestone and it says zero I'm gonna
go ahead and save my game and we walk into the shop the store owner is on top
of the desk all of the items are missing and the shopkeeper says I wasn't kidding
when I say pay now you'll pay the ultimate price with your life I'm
actually not joking he kills you your hearts go all the way down and link dies
and you get a game over screen now of you to save and quit you would save your
game if you were to retry that means that would put you back in the same
world but either of these options give you a death count what I mean by that is
if I were to go to save my game right here you see that I have a death count
of one every time that you steal and you go back into the shop you'll
automatically get that death countin and why is zero deaths so important well one
you're not a real gamer if you die PewDiePie taught me that but two Link's
Awakening for the Nintendo switch actually has a secret ending that
requires you to have zero deaths at the end of the game we
have to make your way all the way through to the very end of the game
never dying once and then once you get to the final final boss and you defeat
the final boss in the end credits screen there's going to be a different end
credits screen now I'm not going to spoiler you're not going to tell you
exactly what it is but I will say it's not very different like breadth of the
wild had a significant ending if you did all the divine beasts this is not that
significant I guarantee you now the problem with being a thief is that well
everyone knows you're a thief and every single time that you're going to be
addressed as your name as you can see right here of my name's set as Austan
instead of calling me Austin they'll call me thief including during cutscenes
and the wind fish at the very end of the game calls me thief so I don't think you
want that title now let's talk about the benefits of being a thief obviously the
greatest benefit of being a thief is you don't have to pay for things after you
commit this one so you could come in here and just run next to the shopkeeper
you see this $200 shovel that's severely overpriced well let him know how
severely overpriced it is by just walking out with it that's fine and boom
now I have a shovel and I could do all my shoveling duties everything that I
need a shovel for I have a shovel but if you go inside again you have to face the
consequences now there may be a point in the game that there's going to be some
expensive items like a bow and arrow Hey look it's a bow and arrow it costs nine
hundred and eighty rupees maybe if you're a sucker across the nine hundred
eighty rupees this should not be easy this does require some practice some
patience and the game makes it so it's not easy to be a thief for the record
I've been trying to steal this bow and arrow for like two minutes now I can't
have wait to see speedrunners come in here and steal this bow and arrow in an
amount of time that puts every single one of us to shame cuz there's gonna be
them there's gonna be people who like enter and know exactly what frame to
walk out on it's gonna be ridiculous there we go guess what you got it for
free you're damn right I did I just got a
thousand dollar bow and arrow for free it's not a good idea to oh I'm sorry I
didn't mean hit the facts it's not a good idea to to let thieves steal
weapons that's for sure I'm at the very beginning of the game and I have the bow
and arrow so there are advantages to being a thief so my advice to you is to
not be a thief and to grind some rubies you come right down here to the crane
game it costs 10 rubies to play you can win 50 rubies it takes 45 seconds so
every 45 seconds you get 40 rubies which is great I'm gonna have an entire video
on Ruby farming so be sure to subscribe to the channel for that so just to recap
grind the rubies buy the things properly at the very very end of the game once
you beat the final boss and wake the wind fish which is the overall objective
of the game there are still more items that you could buy in the shop and
they're very expensive there are over a thousand rupees each if you want to do
postgame grinding then yeah go for it but after you defeat the final boss wake
the wind fish and you get the secret ending then I would say go ahead and
just steal the rest of the items from the shop because it doesn't matter if
you have a death plus on your save screen you could just save your zero
death that you beat the game with zero deaths and then you can have your 100%
with your deaths now what would be impressive is the 100% with all those
super expensive items with zero deaths that would be impressive anyways guys
