And That's A Little Bit Sad
"Sky," asked Wind, watching the steam from his coffee rise as he sat, kicking his feet to and fro, "how do rupoors work?"
Sky blinked. "Rupoors? Well, they're black-colored rupees, and when you pick them up you lose a few of the rupees in your wallet."
"I know that," replied the younger Hero, "I ran into them in the Ocean King's realm." He looked back at Sky to clarify his question. "I was asking how they worked. How can something make you lose rupees? And where do those rupees go when they're gone?"
The older Link opened his mouth to speak, froze, then sulked. "...You know, Wind, I have no idea," he confessed. "When you get a rupoor, your rupees seem to just disappear, kind of like when you lose your socks in the laundry. It's really strange now that I'm thinking about it - maybe it's some kind of spell or something."
"You mean someone deliberately put a magic spell on rupoors just make people's money disappear?" asked Wind incredulously.
"Possibly."
"What kind of person does that!?"
Sky shrugged. "Someone who doesn't want their savings stolen? Or maybe they just do it as a prank."
"Well, it's a terrible prank," said Wind. "Whoever did that must have a lot of free time on their hands."
"Yeah, I know," chuckled Sky, "it's a little bit sad."
"Agreed." Wind took a sip of his coffee.
