The mystery of Link's items

[shadowscrub]

How exactly does link carery all of his items beind that sheild of his? i dont understand.

I think this is just another one of those questions that doesn't have an answer, like the "When Link draws his Sword...." thread. Physics aren't very realistic in video games. I mean, imagine Link carrying this bulging bag full of all of his items. That wouldn't work too well. Nintendo can't really make a realistic explanation for this, it's just one of those things in a lot of video games.

small link and i play zelda rpgss outside w/t our own rules, and we have a "item bank" where we store all our items

[kpllk]

Well its not real. After all, it is just a video game. how does he pick up rubies just by stepping on them. How can he hold 99 bombs in one little bag and get a bomb just by reaching in his pocket? Its not real.

[zeldusfanaticus]

a little thing called hammerspace. look it up on wikipedia

[shadowscrub]

maybe, he has a magical bag that holds millions of items

[zeldusfanaticus]

thats the definition of hammerspace

[shadowscrub]

oh, i didnt know that that is how link does it

[blackice_cc]

Lol, pretty funny ZF. /revelation! THAT'S how Buggs Bunny does it!
But yeah, that's the best explanation.

According the cartoon (which I would never use as a real reference for anything Zelda related), Link has a bag and when he puts an item in it, it shrinks down to a who knows how small size for easy storage.

[kpllk]

How does he find whatever he is looking for if everything is micro-small.

4 words 4 you: IT IS A VIDEOGAME

[kpllk]

I know that but I am trying to go with the flow.

[Shadow Goris]

Hyrule has magic. The answer is 42-uhh...Link uses magic.

*sighs*
He has a pouch on his belt. DUH.

But in all seriousness they probably didn't think it was important enough a factor to implement an explanation into the game.
