Wow, we knew the economy was in a bad way, but who knew that the recession had traveled as far as Zelda's kingdom? The evidence is clear from the security photo, which shows a man sporting the Hylian symbol on his cap robbing People's Bank in Waterbury, Conn. earlier in the week. If you've seen this sad Friend of Link, you're asked to call 203-755-1234.
Honestly, we're just shocked he got out of the bank without the teller killing him with magical lightning bolts.

This bank robbery has been sponsored by Nintendo.
Just the kind of coverage they're looking for.

Yeah, they're trying to appeal to the "hardcore" crowd.

999 rupees is only $20.17 anyway. Probably best to get dollars.

I guess this is what happens when Nintendo ignores the hardcore gaming crowd.

You mean the LOSERS who don't have more than $200 dollars to buy a different system without selling their own?
Fuck 'em.

Ouchies. I should have made myself a little clearer. I meant to say hardcore gamers, not losers.

Just wait until he deposits it in the bank and plays the Song of Time, he gets the money and a clean criminal record.

Why does he need to see the cashier? Surely all the money is in pots lying around the place?

maybe if we find out where the hat came from we can help the po-po narrow down the culprits? I've never seen a Zelda hat like that before, but maybe some camp hyrule prize or something? that would sure narrow it down, I'm sure Nintendo keeps tabs on winners of that thing.

I searched Amazon.com for "Zelda baseball cap" and it popped right up.

The note: "HEY! LISTEN! HEY! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! Fill up the Giant's Wallet."
I guess he needed the cash to power his Magic Armor. That's why it's black in the picture.

I bet the teller is thinking, "Thank God that annoying Navi isn't around."

Well, Link DID do a lot of breaking into peoples houses, smashing up their crockery, and stealing their money.

the police were unable to identify the robber, it appears his identity is a secret to everybody

Also I wonder if he was forced to put money back in the register after his wallet reached its maximum amount.

Hyruleans are prone to thievery, think about it: most of the money you get is either from monsters you kill or the jars in people's houses.
