one way or another.

getting the money enough to donate to the old goron in malo mart can be rather bothersome... 2000 rupee\'s isent chump change...but if you looking to do it... do it rite.. and with a plan.. if you collect golden bugs.. you know the ones that are ALL OVER THE PLACE!. if you get the male and female for each bug and then go to castle town there is a girl who will give you good cash for them.. and when you give her your first bug.. she will give you a bigger wallett. the shop she is in is in the south western corner area...
she will give you 50 for one and 100 for a pair... so use her flow of cash wizely and dont over do it so you wont loose money... and donate your heart out.. the armor is worth it.
if you run out of bugs you can always look around the fields of hyrule to fine areas where you use special items.. those have money or heart pieces.. you can also look aroung for rocks or grass that is in a ring shape and dig throung the middle as a wolf... youll find an under ground secret area.. ( more on those later.. im making a list of them and where they are...) any way it may be slow going but you can also go through temples that you where not able to get all the money from the chests cuz your wallett was full.. just make sure you have enoug money gathered to buy the armor.. hope i helped!
