You can attack the old man in dungeons in Zelda 1!?
- Thread starter RPGamer92
- Start date
I was playing Oracle of Seasons recently and I chuckled to myself at the classic Zelda sort of twist where you burn the grass to find a hidden staircase, talk to the old man, and... he charges you a ton of rupees to repair his door.
Those wily old men hanging out in caves.

Got me through an Ontario to Florida road trip as a kid! Gameboy best
For real, then the NPCs start calling you thief for the rest of the game.don't mess with old men in zelda games
OP I did the same thing to discover this. Accidentally hit the attack button and was met with a barrage of attacks. I was always curious whether you could actually kill them or not.

This, combined with the music during that scene, scared the shit out of me as a kid.
I always did this anyway, call me thief all you want, that bow is expensive and I want it.

The penalty for theft is murder? Should've just killed the old guy. :P
So nostalgic.
Remember when going to Florida was something to be excited about.
Yup, and it increases the kill-count too (y'know, "10th ennemy has the bomb"). So, you could attack him 9 times then kill the next ennemy with bombs to get a pack of bombs.
