The guy selling 'magic beans' by the river was a bit strange, but Link had discovered that his products were useful in getting heart pieces, so he'd come to buy some.
Now, he just had to decide how many.
"Let's see…I need one for Death Mountain crater, one for the graveyard, one for outside the Spirit Temple, one for…no, wait, I don't need one for Death Mountain trail, because I can actually jump off to get to that one…"
He paused, and then sighed loudly, "Great, now I lost count."
"One for Death Mountain crater," he said, counting off his fingers, "one for the graveyard, one for outside of the Spirit Temple, one for outside the…no, I can use the scarecrow for that one."
Link frowned, "I lost count again…"
"One for Death Mountain crater, one for the graveyard, one for…"
Navi started flying erratically around his had and he glared at her, "I lost count, stop it!"
"Hurry up and buy some!"
"I don't know how many!"
Link took a calming breath and began again, "Death Mountain crater, graveyard, outside the Spirit Temple and…"
The man chomping on his the same items he was selling, spoke up, "Look, are you going to buy some or what? I have things to do…"
"Ugh!" Link said, throwing up his hands, "Fine, fine, everyone just rush me. I'll just take six."
The beans were handed over and the hero glared at his fairy, "You'd better hope this is enough."
Author's Note: True story, my brother ALWAYS counts the places to plant beans standing in front of the guy.(A lot of the heart pieces can actually be gotten without beans,)
So, one time I was watching him count and I pid attension to how many he said, and wrote up a little note. When he finished the game and put it away in the box, I slipped the note in with the game. The next time he opened it up, the note fell out. It read as follows; "For God's sake, buy 6 beans, don't count the places!" lol...we had a laugh, especially since I forgot I put it in there...and then my brother proceeded to count the places to make sure I was correct when I said 6.
