Clock Town Bank: Difference between revisions

|caption = The bank in {{MM3D}}, now located behind the [[Clock Tower]]

In {{MM}}, the '''Clock Town Bank''' is located in [[West Clock Town]] and is open 24 hours a day. In {{MM3D}} the bank is instead located in [[South Clock Town]], partially embedded within the back of the [[Clock Tower]]. It is operated by an [[Banker|enthusiastic character]] who possesses the ability to recognize [[Link]] and his associated balance through a system of "invisible stamping" which operates, it would seem, in a paradoxical (yet convenient) manner. Link uses the services of this bank to his advantage, depositing the [[Rupee]]s he collects through his adventures in [[Termina]] to preserve them for the next cycle (the Rupees left in his wallet are gone forever when he plays the [[Song of Time]] to travel back to the [[First Day]]). However, the young hero is only able to deposit a maximum of 5,499 [[Rupee]]s with the [[Giant Wallet]], as once a balance of at least 5,000 Rupees is reached, the Bank will accept no further deposits.<ref name=quote1>{{cite|What's this?

Since playing the [[Song of Time]] forces Link to lose all of the Rupees he has thus far accumulated in that three-day cycle, the utility of collecting Rupees after reaching the aforementioned limit is restricted to spending them in shops.

During the night, there is a 4 [[Rupee]] service charge on withdrawals.<ref>{{cite|...You know, at this time of day there's a 4 Rupee service charge on withdrawals!|Banker|MM}}</ref> Interest is awarded whenever Link's saving account reaches 1000 Rupees.<ref>{{cite|What's this?
