Rupee

Rupees are the unit of currency within most of the Zelda universe, within circulation in the lands of Hyrule, Koholint Island, Termina, Labrynna, and Holodrum. Rupees are acquired primarily by defeating enemies, by cutting tall grasses or bushes, or by opening treasure chests, and used primarily to purchase items in shops.

=Values=

With the exception of The Adventure of Link and Four Swords Adventures, Rupees are included in all Zelda titles. The value of a Rupee is denoted by its color. In Four Swords and The Minish Cap, both size and color denote value. Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, and Oracle of Ages specify the Rupee value through text rather than color, because the Game Boy pallette was limited. The following lists the values of each Rupee color. Because the value of each color is inconsistent throughout the games, they are not listed in order of value. The list begins with the colors that appeared in the most Zelda titles.
