Ore

In the volcanic land of Subrosia, there are many types of special, prized stones called Ore. There are six different types of ore: Red and Blue, Hard Ore, Star-Shaped Ore, Fool's Ore, and Ore Chunk, the latter of which is Subrosian currency in Oracle of Seasons.

Ore Chunks
The Ore Chunk is the standard currency of Subrosia, replacing the common Hyrulean Rupee, due to its abundance and symbolic worth in Subrosian culture. Link can carry up to 999 Ore Chunks while in Subrosia. The currency exchange rate between Holodrum and Subrosia is 1 Rupee to 1 Ore Chunk; the type of currency is the only monetary change between the two regions. When equipped with the Green Joy Ring or Gold Joy Ring, Link will receive double the value of Ore Chunks gathered.

Blue Chunks set the currency standard, as there is no smaller denomination of money in Subrosia. One Blue Chunk represents one Ore Chunk. Red Chunks are worth ten Ore Chunks (ten Blue Chunks). Gold Chunks are worth fifty Ore Chunks (five Red Chunks, or fifty Blue Chunks).
