Shopkeeper: Alright, here we go. Four bottles of potion.
Link: Awesome. Hey, uh, stupid question: do you have any more bottles?
Shopkeeper: Huh?
Link: Like empty bottles. It’s just, well, I seem to really need bottles. Like, I fought a lot for these bottles. One of them was in a treasure chest, and I was ecstatic. I desperately need bottles.
Shopkeeper: Can’t really help you.
Link: I dunno, I figured maybe the magic potions were the valuable stuff, and bottles were just around.
Shopkeeper: Nope. There are magic fairies everywhere. But bottles! Wow. That’s crazy.
Link: If bottles are so rare, how do you give me this stuff?
Shopkeeper: Oh, just from a vat. But no one knows how to make bottles to transport it. It’s just too mysterious! Anyway, here’s a super potion to restore your magic points.
Link: Right. Can I use my magic to make bottles?
Shopkeeper: No.
Link: Sigh. Well, what do I owe you?
Shopkeeper: 600 rupees.
Link: Oh no! My wallet can only hold 500 rupees. Man…
Shopkeeper: Yup.
Link: Even if for some reason I wanted to switch a 20 rupee for a 1 rupee, I can’t fit it in my wallet somehow
Shopkeeper: Yeah, that tends to be a problem.
Link: Well, I guess I’ll pay for some and get more rupees.
Shopkeeper: Cool. What do you do for money?
Link: Oh I break jugs and barrels a lot. You know, smashing containers.
Shopkeeper:Why would you break those? I thought you desperately needed any way possible to hold potions and fairies? Wouldn’t those things work?
Link: No. It has to be bottles.
