Wallet

The Wallet, introduced in, is a piece of gear used in to hold that game's currency. The amount of money Link can have on hand is limited by the capacity of the Wallet, so games that feature them often allow them to be upgraded in size; however, several games still keep track of the total money collected for miscellaneous purposes, including that which exceeds the Wallet's capacity.

Notes

 * has a maximum of 255 Rupees since an 8-bit unsigned integer (that is, whether the number is positive or negative is not tracked) was used to represent the number due to the hardware limitations of the Nintendo Entertainment System. (28 equals 256, allowing values from 0 to 255) Similarly, BS The Legend of Zelda Map 2, which runs on the Super Famicom, has a maximum of 65,535 rupees, which is the largest number a 16-bit unsigned integer can hold. However, Ancient Stone Tablets, despite being on the Super Famicom, has a limit of 99,999 rupees.
 * doesn't even have a Rupee system, as there are no items to purchase.
 * In, while in Subrosia, the allowed currency is the Ore, which (like the Rupees) has a 999 limit.

Wallet Locations
The Wallet upgrades can be obtained in any order, unless otherwise specified. Therefore, the first upgrade obtained will always be a medium-sized Wallet, while the next upgrade will be a larger Wallet.

BS The Legend of Zelda
In, there were no wallet upgrades. The maximum amount of Rupees that could be obtained is 999, although players would not need to worry about filling it, as the time restrictions were in place.

Ancient Stone Tablets
is similar in fashion to BS The Legend of Zelda, as there are no wallet upgrades. However, the maximum amount of Rupees that could be obtained is 99,999, equal to Four Swords. But strict time limitations to the game made it impossible to actually reach this amount. What this means is that players essentially didn't have to worry about not being able to carry any Rupees they might find.

Trivia

 * The Tycoon Wallet from Skyward Sword bears a resemblance to Jovani's cursed face from Twilight Princess.
