Commonplace Rare/Playing With

Basic Trope: Something relatively easy-to-find in real life is rare in a video game.

Played Straight: There are only four usable swords in the kingdom of Tropeland, and they're hard to find, despite all of the enemies wielding them.
Exaggerated: There is one sword, a wooden sword, going for 9001 Dollars.
Justified: There's a demon in the mines, so metal can't be used to forge a sword.
Inverted:
- There are swords everywhere. You can take enemies' swords.
- Your first sword is made of Orichalcum.
Subverted: There are only four swords, but you can mix-and-match to have six more.
Double Subverted: And the six others are just clones of the first four.
Parodied: The entire game is a quest to find a sword.
Deconstructed: The Hero put so much effort into finding the sword that he was too exhausted to even use it.
Reconstructed: So he gets a gun.
Zig-zagged: There are only four swords in the kingdom. The Hero heads to the nearby kingdom of Sword-i Arabia where he finds hundreds of swords. He brings them back to Tropeland, where they are all burned due to being illegally bought.
Averted: There are plenty of swords.
Enforced: "We are going to destroy all weapons of war!"
Lampshaded: "Where's a sword when you need one?"
Invoked: "Something tells me I'm going to have a hard time getting a sword..."
Defied: There's a sword delivery store.
Discussed: "You know, swords really shouldn't be this rare..."
Conversed: "I can't believe how badly the recent sword famine's hit!"
