Requiring rupees for everything is one thing. Being obscure about where things need to be done is another. Thankfully, most Zelda games only feature the former. Rosy Rupeeland has a habit of mixing the two, unfortunately.
Where you need to dump the Super Soup in the Icy Plains graveyard is a prime example of this combination. You need rupees for the information/event trigger, and to buy the recipee involved. Then you need to work out where exactly you need to dump out a bottle of Super Soup to stir Chiko's grandmother's soul.
At first, my Zelda-honed instincts told me to dump it on the frozen headstone at the graveyard's end. But this had no effect.
After watching this blunder play out, I realized that an Icy Plains landmark resembled Chiko's clan quite closely.
So now I know what needs to be done (and have confirmed it with a guide), but still feel like I've somehow been foiled by Rosy Rupeeland's under-your-nose obscurity.
