Current pic is not demonstrative. I think this Breath of Fire 2 pic would work better.

[up] I could go along with switching out the current pic for that one.

I don't think that is better, but I played LoZ and not BoF. Seems very very lateral.

Other suggestions, and/or an explanation of why that is better?

Way more demonstrative, in my opinion. "Grumble grumble" could be the lead-up to anything.

That sounds like it's talking about money, which doesn't appear to be this trope. The visuals also add uncomfortably little.

Yeah, that seems like a money deal rather than an item deal, particularly given the fact that "zenny" has been used in at least two other game series.

The fact that Breath of Fire uses it is a surprise to me, but hey, it's Capcom. They're not exactly known for being original.

Money counts too, according to the trope description

Where? It seems like the opposite: Give Me Your Inventory Item is explicitly a non-currency item.

"...they're items that you bought with your own hard-earned gold and actually intended to use on yourself."

nvm, I misread the description the first time I read it. Anyway I went ahead and pulled the image.

Of course he's grumbling... he needs to Monster Bait... I mean, he needs your Monster Bait.

I prefer the BOF pic, and agree that the LOZ pic lacks sufficient context to figure out what's going on.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
