Just started the game and it’s so much fun! I just got sage of wind but I’m still wearing only snow greaves. Wondering how I can get rupees to buy the armor that’s sold in town. Thanks!
Explore every cave you come across and get all the ore. Sell gems and lower level monster parts at every opportunity. Resist the urge to hoard stuff, especially in early game. Soon enough you will be able to save up lots of money!
If you don't hoard stuff, it's that's much harder to upgrade your armor with the Great Fairies. The later levels start getting really pricey. It'd be kind of nice to have a guide on what's valuable and not used for armor upgrading.
Later in the game, two of the sages can do it for free. Earlier in the game, just keep a weapon slot open for "weapon + rock/boulder". The game's pretty good about putting at least a rock where you need one, if not a weapon to go with it.
