An intense fierce glare slowly crossed Link's face. His eyes narrowed and glinted as they filled with determination.

The young Warrior was in the middle of an important quest. Once again, Zelda had been kidnapped by the evil Ganondorf - and it was his job to rescue her. Link knew that the Princess was counting on him. It was his duty to save the princess whenever she was in trouble.

In order to do so, he was going to do something very important. Something which he simply couldn't complete his quest without doing. That was why he was here right now.

Link closed his eyes as he silently summoned up all his courage. What he was about to do was going to take all his strength that made him who he was. If it meant rescuing Zelda, he was fully willing to do such a thing. It was his destiny.

Link opened his eyes, ready to start doing what needed to be done.

The young warrior gazed grimly at the object that was sitting in front of him.

With all his strength, he took hold of it, lifted it above his head - and threw it against the wall.

SMASH!

At that moment, a figure raced into the building. His face was filled with horror when he saw what Link was doing.

"Hey!" he cried. "What do you think you're doing to my pots!"

Link didn't answer. He remained as silent as ever as he picked up another pot. He flung it against the wall to shatter as easily as the first one he broke.

"You can't do that! Those are my pots!"

The merchant raced into his store, desperately trying to pull Link away from his precious pots. His efforts to save them proved futile as they were flung against the shop wall by the hero, each one of them shattering into pieces.

In no time at all, Link had broken every single one of the pots in the store. He looked around at the thousands of tiny pieces that covered the shop floor. From the satisfied grin that filled his face, it was clear that he was pleased with himself.

"How dare you?!" The merchant thundered. "You can't just wander into people's buildings and break every single pot you see!"

Link shrugged. That was precisely what he always did whenever he was on a mission to save Zelda. He couldn't just walk past any building on his travels without peeking in to see if there were pots waiting for him to break.

"I don't see why everyone calls you a hero; you're nothing but a nasty little vandal!" The shopkeeper pointed to the exit of his store. "Get out of my shop and don't come back!"

Unfazed, Link made his way swiftly out of the store. He stood outside the building and within the warm sunshine that filled Hyrule. As he walked away from the shop, he checked to see what he'd just done there had resulted in.

Breaking all those pots had earned him ten Rupees.

Link smiled. Every bit of currency he built up counted, but he still had a long way to go until he had a full wallet.

Without wasting time, the young hero made his way quickly to the next building - where he intended to do the exact same destructive activity he'd just done in the last one.

There was no way he could save Zelda from Ganondorf without having a full wallet on him…

…and the easiest way Link could build up all the Rupees he could carry - was by breaking every single pot he came across.


THE END
