Closer to Rupeeland

With the way unblocked, Steamy Marsh has now opened up to me. It looks like the bees must be braved, though, for there's nothing else to be done other than going inside there.

Reading an interview with two members of Rosy Rupeeland's development team from the game's mini-site has got me thinking. In that interview, the team says that the sounds and place names are all the game really takes from Zelda games.

For the most part, I'm inclined to agree with this statement of difference since the boss innovation in Rosy Rupeeland compared to most Zelda bosses is like comparing A Link to the Past to Ocarina of Time. Not being able to just run up to a boss and whack it with a sword, Tingle's alternative methods have yielded some awesome boss battles so far.

Though the "Triangle Chips" that are apparently littered around the second continent are definitely references to the Triforce. Yellow triangles in a game based around a Zelda universe character could be nothing else.
