[Submission] Kinstone Coins
4Sword:
Coin Collector / Hobobum
An old man who acquired a wealth of treasures from his world travels. He became withdrawn from a society which only valued the monetary value of his collection over the stories he told of attaining them. Over the course of many years of the rich trying to ruin him so that they could take his treasures cheaply and the poor trying to steal them to sell for a quick profilt, the old man built a series of vaults in the sewers under Hyrule Town in order to safegauard all of his treasure. Eventually he came to spend most of his time outside the first vault door.
When Link first meets him, Hobobum is hostile but unassuming in his disheveled appearance and location. If Link comes back to talk to him after first finding a rare coin - he will recognize Link as a true adventurer, open up about his past, and give him a heart piece as an incentive to see if he can find any more of the coins throughout Hyrule. The more coins you get the further into the vaults Link will be able to go.
The Treasure
This could be any item found in the Zelda series not necessary for the game completion. The items though would provide some benefit as their own unique item or as an improved/varied version of an existing item. Hobobum views Link as worthy of having the items because they would help his adventure.
The Coins
Ancient kinstone coins which can be found across Hyrule in small chests, buried in certain spots, or as something that can be obtained through side-quests.
Kami:
What shall happen if you collect all of the coins?
MG-Zero:
I'm not sure if outright giving a heartpiece for the first coin would be the right incentive. The player will expect something better as they bring more coins, and the heart piece is one of the pinnacles of power ups in Zelda. I'm also not in favor of replacing the sea shell idea. If this passes, it can be something else.
EDIT: Also, characters need to be submitted to the NPC section.
Kami:
A light bow could be added in as an optional upgrade reward.

After you have collected a set amount of coins, the old man will give you access to the last vault. After he does this he will have nothing left to guard, but he will mention that Link's effort in acquiring all of the coins has inspired him to adventure around the world one last time.

It wouldn't be a full-heart piece that increments your heart counter maximum by one, but one of those 1/4 piece amounts. It could be anything but it needs to allude to the "depth" of Hobobum's collection - that he has valuable things. In terms of replacing the sea shell idea, I think I mainly thought of it doing that because the sea shell sidequest wasn't entirely defined (unsure of what collecting the shells would reward you with, or thinking that it might be something Zora related).
About submitting the character in the NPC section, I see what you mean but the character's purpose is directly tied to the sidequest activity - the value of coins only means anything to the old man, the collection of rare items he guards is something the sidequest gives access to, etc.

It could be - in pther games in the series light bow seemed to have more importance in that it was necessary to defeat evil so I am not sure exactly how and if it would be optional under the context of this game's plot. I was thinking though that the armor that runs on rupees from Twilight Princess could be the last item though - although I didn't find it too useful in Twilight Princess, lol.
