cardsharp

From card + sharp (“cheater, dishonest person”).

refn

From the collection of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, USA.

compound

One of Tim’s great-grandparents had been a cardsharp in the wild west, and had been shot dead during a game.

While thus running on, the knavish card-sharp was slowly, and with apparent fairness, cutting the pack, which was prepared by having every card but the honours of each suit cut at the ends, in so slight a degree, however, as not to shorten them enough to be detectible by an ordinary eye, though sufficiently to be felt by a fine and practised finger, which could thus ensure a court-card, while the red cards of the pack (or deck of cards, as they were then commonly called) were deprived of their proper size by a similar process of shaving off the sides, so as to make the turn-up either red or black at will of the player.

1850, Henry Downes Miles, chapter XI, in Claude du Val, a Romance, of the Days of Charles the Second, Edwin Dipple, […], →OCLC, page 191:

'Why Moses,' said Satan, 'nor Angels nor sinners / Can live without eating; let's go to our dinners; / Men who play at old sledge cannot both be the winners; / The card-sharps, you know, lose the dimes to beginners; […]'

Whenever we used to want to take a rise out o' Bill after, we only had to ax him if he'd seen any more card sharps, and he'd get as mad as a hatter.

Whitworth, “Mary Summers: A Romance of the Australian Bush”, in The Australian Journal: A Weekly Record of Literature, Science, and the Arts, volume I, number 12, Melbourne, Vic., Sydney, N.S.W.: Clarson, Massina, and Co., printers and publishers, […], published 1866, →OCLC, chapter XVIII (The New Hut), page 178, column 1:

In hilly country sheep will sometimes get lost in small bands. [...] Should they prove unmanageable, refusing to travel, or running off from you, the adroit shepherd will practice against them a "string game" quite as effective as that the card sharp plays on the over-confident rustic. Catch the leader, or the whole party of rebels, and tie around one of the hind legs just above the hock joint, a piece of stout string— [...]

1875, A. A. Ritchie, “The Art of Sheep Raising for Wool, Mutton, and Money. […]”, in Transactions of the California State Agricultural Society during the Year 1874, Sacramento, Calif.: G. H. Springer, state printer, →OCLC, page 465:

The cleverest card[-]sharp we ever saw—outside of good society—was a Greek by country as well as by profession; but all the money he picked up in the by-ways of the sporting world went at the hazard-table, and the poor rogue often wanted a dinner.

Chapman & Hall, […], published 1877, →OCLC, page 307, column 2:

You'd been running with a gang of card-sharps when I picked you up, and the police were waiting their chance to gaol you.

[1923], Edgar Wallace, “Abe Bellamy and His Secretary”, in The Green Archer, London: Hodder and Stoughton, →OCLC, page 24:

When the businessmen quit, there had been two other men eager to take their chairs. The ranchers were somewhat leery about allowing strangers to join their game. They had been suckered in by a slick cardsharp once and had learned a lesson that still galled them whenever they were reminded of it.

1989, Jean Haught, Prisoner of Passion (A Zebra Romance), London: Zebra Books, →ISBN, page 34:

The cardsharp asked, ‘Now who wants to make a bet?’ The wise guy said, ‘I’ll make a bet. You stacked the cards. I’ll bet you twenty bucks you hold three aces.’ The cardsharp said, ‘You’re on, buddy. And you’re dead wrong.’

The Wind Waker is the best Zelda I’ve played since Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo.

2008, Luke Cuddy, editor, The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy: I Link Therefore I Am, Open Court Publishing Company, →ISBN:

Unlike previous Zeldas, Breath of the Wild doesn't hold your hand.

2017, Tim Wilkus, in "Big & little Reviews: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", Little Player: Video Game Magazine for Kids, May/June 2017, page 25

When developing Zelda games, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi thinks about the main hook of the game play before digging deeper into how it will out in combat or puzzles.

2018, The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia, Dark Horse Books, →ISBN:

For better or worse, Ocarina was the perfect fan service for kids and adults who'd spent years closing their eyes and imagining how cool a 3D Zelda was going to be.

The small motifs that [Jason] Brame identifies are used in the Hyrule Field to provide a sonic connection to earlier Zelda games but primarily avoid direct quotation.

roper

From Middle English roper, ropere; equivalent to rope + -er.

The party ran into a statue of a roper, which somehow attacked them.

1991, Thomas Miller, The Adventurers: Book Two:

Stone ropers are distant relatives of the common roper though the two races are do not (as far as sages know) associate with one another.

2016, Anthony Uyl et al., Gigas Monstrum: Book II, page 244:

I understand this to mean that passive Wisdom (Perception)—and even Searching—will never reveal a roper for what it is as long as it holds still. Its Stealth skill comes into play only if it's moving. Thus, a stationary roper takes its opponents by surprise, as long as its eye is closed and its tendrils retracted until it strikes.

2019, Keith Ammann, The Monsters Know What They're Doing, page 172:

Moments ago, vines had shot from the ground to lash at us; I'd thought at first that they were the tentacles of a worm or roper monster, but the leaves revealed that we were dealing·with some kind of plant creature.

(gaming) Any of a variety of monsters with tentacles that they use to capture victims.
