Upgrades
The Big Wallet in multiple Zelda games, in particular the 3-D ones, is the larger verson of your own wallet that you start with. This usually can hold double the amount of Rupees that your other old wallet cannot hold. In different Legend of Zelda games, the wallet can hold more Rupees then others. For a good example in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the big wallet alone can hold 1000 Rupees. In Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the Big Wallet can hold 500 Rupees. In Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, it can hold 200 Rupees. And in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, it can hold 600 Rupees. In most games, it is optional to get the Big Wallet. However, in a very select few games, this item is vital. In The Wind Waker, you need it because Tingle can only translate the Triforce Charts for the high price of 493 Rupees. That is more than the original Wallet can carry. In some cases, the Big Wallet is required to buy huge priced items like the Magic Armor in Twilight Princess (see below). The next thing above this is the Giant's Wallet which allows you to hold even more money. The Giant's wallet in The Wind Waker can hold 5000 rupees, the largest amount Link can ever get.

In Twilight Princess
Link begins the game in Ordon Village with a default wallet, holding a maximum of 300 rupees. Up until he reaches Kakariko Village, 300 rupees is shown to be more than a sufficient amount of money to spend through the game. Although not required at all, two more wallet upgrades can be retrieved, after a very long and sometimes strenuous Golden Bugs sidequest is completed.

Agitha is the esteemed golden bug collector in Hyrule Castle Town, her lair is accessible from Castle Town West Road and South Road, by taking a large backalleyway. When Link meets her the first time, she describes the sidequest of collecting Golden Bugs from across the land and retruning them to her in order to share her "happiness" with Link. This happiness of course, is in the form of wallet upgrades.


 * When Link retruns the first bug pair to Agitha, she becomes so happy that Link is interested in her sidequest that she awards Link with the Big Wallet upgrade, a large bag able to carry 600 rupees. It is with this wallet, however, that Link is eventually able to purchase the Magic Armor for 598 rupees from Malo Mart.


 * After collecting all the golden bugs from within Hyrule, the sidequest is completed, and Agitha awards Link with the Giant's Wallet, the largest and most luxurious of them all, with a max limit of 1000 rupees, much more than what is needed to buy anything within the game.
