Six items from Ocarina of Time two outlaws would carry.
Bomb Bag: Link obtains the bomb bag in Dodongo’s Cavern. With the bag, Link is no longer reliant on bomb flowers to solve puzzles and reveal secrets. This feels like the game begins to trusts you with the explosive mechanic enough to take you off the “see a bomb flower, expect to see a location to be bombed nearby” leash.
Big Bomb Bag: Link gets the first upgrade by stopping a speed freak Goron that has been ceaselessly rolling around the Goron village for years. To stop the rolling, Link must carefully place bombs in their path to knock them down. Don’t worry, Goron are made of sturdy stuff so bombing one won’t hurt it.
Biggest Bomb Bag: Link obtains the final upgrade to the bomb bag as one of the rewards for scoring well in Bombchu Bowling.
Before the west was won and the railroads brought throngs of people to fill the wide-open places, a person could make their way outside of the law. Most people assumed that anyone willing to live as outlaws were greedy marauders or bloodthirsty cannibals. In truth, many outlaws were people who felt uncomfortable with society’s strict dogmas and were skilled or foolish enough to think they could make it on their own.
The grenadier that would eventually be known as Gunpowder Gonzalvez was the only child of a pair of Spanish chemists that had moved their entire family to America to work for a mining company. Gonzalvez quickly grew into an excellent chemist after spending the years of their youth assisting their parents in the lab. On their 22nd birthday, Gonzalvez accepted a position as head engineer with a Colorado Mining venture.
They would never make it to the company town as their caravan was hijacked by bandits and its passengers kidnapped for ransom. The close-minded hijackers did not believe the Spaniard could be a famous chemist. Their ethnocentricity cost them their lives as Grenadier Gonzalvez earned their name by creating enough improvised explosives to save the other victims and escape. The rush of such a thunderous application of chemistry convinced Gonzalvez to take up a nomadic life following their moral compass as a wandering grenadier for hire.
Quiver: It is tough to use a bow without a quiver full of arrows. Link gets the quiver along with the Fairy Bow in the Forest Temple.
Big Quiver: Link must hit ten targets with the bow in the Kakariko Shooting Gallery to receive this quiver that holds ten more arrows than the first.
Biggest Quiver: Link has to show his acumen as a mounted archer by scoring 1,500 points on the Horseback Archery Range to receive this quiver that can hold a whopping 50 arrows.
In 1930’s Manchuria, a person could make a good living skimming a few choice crates from certain poorly guarded trains. Most bandits would sneak into train yards at night to steal from trains being loaded for morning departures. Some bandits were fearless enough to rob moving trains in the open country.
The Iron Wolves were a group of Mongolian bandits that could rob just about anything in motion. Their reputation as deadly mounted archers caused many guards to abandon their post when they heard the screaming whistle known as the Wolf’s Howl. Every time the Iron Wolves hit a train, it was deep into the inhospitable country and they nearly emptied the cargo without ever needing the train to stop.
Scouts watched for guards and dangers while the rest of the crew worked together to load up the many relief horses they brought along before sending the horses back to a hideout no one ever located. All but one of the Iron Wolves died in a derailment that got the surviving member captured and sent to a work camp. Rumors say that the surviving member is willing to split the remaining loot if anyone could break them out of prison, otherwise, the secret location of the hideout dies with them.
----------
With these series of self-similar upgrades items, I often don’t have a good idea for each one. I hope you enjoyed the two western tales from East and West.
Please, you this in your life as you see fit, but do it profit off my work without my consent.
Thank you for stopping by and make sure to go be excellent to everyone
