News Eiji Aonuma Advises Adventurers to Hoard Rupees in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
"It will be more important than ever"
One of the oddities of the Zelda franchise is its currency system — Link runs into strangers homes to loot their chests and smash their pots for money, and he can even accumulate wealth when chopping up grass in the wilds.

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara has been a frustrating release for some Nintendo eShop gamers.

Just over a...
