I can't believe nobody noticed this before me...
In MM how does the banker in Clock Town keep your money? If you deposit 1 rupee on the last second of the last day, you'll still have that 1 rupee after you play the song of time. Did the banker travel through time with you?! Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance! :D
Well, they needed a banking system in the game, or you'd lose money every time you traveled back. I decided not to question it. :)
Well I suppose your right, but the guy too?! The guy clearly remembers you and your deposits! On the first day you talk to him and become a registered costumer. Why doesn't that reset with the song of time?!
Because the stamp that he puts on you when you first see him is still on you when you go back. That stamp is what he uses to identify you with, and I assume that's how he sees your deposits.
It's a... get ready for this, guys! ...
It's a time stamp! Ohohoh I'm so funny.

But his deposit
wouldn't be there. I think that's the point.
And it's just a game mechanic, guys. There's really no need to over think this.
Sure, they wouldn't HAVE his deposits. If it's like any other bank, though, then they're going to have money there for borrowing and lending.
Then again, he did say that everyone hardly deposits anymore...
Actually, what if he marks on his forehead stamp however many rupees he has?
Just a thought. o:

That would mean he has an insanely large amount of cash that Link takes how many rupees he had from. But if he had no costumers, why wouldn't he take the money himself?!
Because that's embezzlement... it's not his money to take.
It's like working at a restraunt and saying "oh, I have no customers, so I'll just take the money from the register!"
In reality, it's a game mechanic and I don't really think the team really went so far as to have a specific reason for him being able to keep money.
Well fine then!
I admit defeat :'(

Also, speaking as the resident MM Nazi, I've got to agree with everyone else in this thread. According to the
Majorum Dramaticum Appendix B: List of Canonical Resources, the banker was simply a way to preserve your cash. Nothing that could possibly affect any theory
whatsoever.

...please, this is just spamming now. If it doesn't apply to the topic on hand, don't post it.
K, sorry.
Oh
Technically, the banker would have to go back in time with Link and blah blah blah. Lets not post here anymore 'cause the discussion is finished. How do you erase topics again?
You cannot.
However, I'll go ahead and lock this for you.
