In the year 2000, "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" was released for the N64 and there was an eccentric character named "Tingle". Now that character has his very own RPG on the DS, Mogitate Tingle no Barairo Rupee Land. In this game, everything centers around the currency of Rupees!

The story is about how Tingle lived an everyday life but one day, he had a dream that told him to go to a spring. There, appeared an old man who called himself "Rupee-jii" who told about the story of a paradise of dreams, Rupee Land. It's was a life of paradise there and, only those who gather and throw rupees into the spring will be guidance to reach it. Completely fascinated by the idea of Rupee Land, Tingle made an agreement with the old man. A spell was then cast on Tingle so that "if his supply of rupees is depleted then, his life would also be depleted" and with that, everything changed for him...

In the game, everything Tingle does will have their own plus and minuses in rupees, whether it's fighting the enemy, paying for information, signing a contract to hire a bodyguard or selling items. Once the player has earned some rupees by playing various mini games and completing tasks, he/she can throw the rupees into the spring and a tower will appear out of it. The more rupees thrown, the higher the tower gets and the player will be able to travel to other places across the sea.

Below, you'll find some of the things players will find themselves doing:

Fight for Booty
Defeating enemies and dungeon bosses will be an important source of income. However, if Tingle gets hit, he'll lose rupees which of course, means his life shortens. Also, he can't fight long in battles so players must hire a bodyguard for him.

?Selling Items
Sell off items you get from fights to the local shops. For example, sell off precious stones to the jewellery shop.

Mix your Own Items
Mix up the materials you find on the map to create something more valuable to sell.

Gathering Information & Hiring Bodyguards
As mentioned above, Tingle can't fight for long without a bodyguard. Fees are negotiable but don't be too stingy or he might end up refusing! You can also pay for information for some side quests and what kind of information you get will depend on how much you're willing to spend.

The Nintendo RPG will be available on September 2nd.
