The small, glittering stones called '''Rupees''' are the currency of [[Hyrule]]. The inhabitants of [[Hyrule]] seem to be very sloppy with their economy, which has resulted in '''Rupees''' being found virtually everywhere throughout the land. Monsters that roam the land are also known to be carrying '''Rupees''', which you can get a hold of by slaying the monster. Rupees are held in your [[wallet]].

The 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.
 
 
[edit] 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.
 
Green Rupee
Small green Rupees are worth one, and large green Rupees are worth fifty. The green Rupee appears in seven games.
 
1, small. (A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Four Swords, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess.)
50, large. (Four Swords and The Minish Cap.)
Blue Rupee
Small blue Rupees are worth five, and large blue Rupees are worth one hundred. The blue Rupee appears in eight games.
 
5, small. (The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Four Swords, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess.)
100, large. (Four Swords and The Minish Cap.)
Red Rupee
Small red Rupees are worth twenty, and large red Rupees are worth two hundred. The red Rupee appears in seven games.
 
20, small. (A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Four Swords, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess.)
200, large. (Four Swords and The Minish Cap.)
Purple Rupee
The purple Rupee exists in all four 3D Zelda games.
 
50 (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess.)
Silver Rupee
Debuting in Ocarina of Time, where collecting all five silver Rupees solved a puzzle in a particular room, the silver Rupee exists in all four 3D Zelda titles.
 
5 (Ocarina of Time)
100 (Majora's Mask)
200 (Wind Waker, Twilight Princess)
Yellow Rupee
Debuting in the original title, the yellow Rupee has appeared in three games.
 
1 (The Legend of Zelda)
10 (The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.)
Orange Rupee
The orange Rupee exists in the three of the four 3D Zelda titles.
 
100 (The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess)
200 (Ocarina of Time), Large Orange Rupee appears if you kill Skull Kid in the Lost Woods as adult Link.
Huge Rupee
Appearing either gold or dark orange, this Rupee's color is not specified textually and is simply called "huge." It exists in three games, although in Twilight Princess it can be found just once, at a very well hidden place.
 
200 (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess.)
Other Rupee Types
 
 
Black: In Four Swords, the black Rupee removes a random, negative amount of Rupees from the team wallet.  
Rupee Shard: In Four Swords, Rupee shards are individually worthless but collecting eight creates a gem worth 500 Rupees.


[[Image:Bszelda brupee.gif|left]]The colour of the '''Rupee''' indicates how much it is worth. The values are forever changing throughout the games but they do seem to loosely follow this pattern (exept Green blue and red which have stayed the same since a link to the past). '''Green Rupees''' are worth one '''Rupee'''; '''Blue''' ones are worth five; '''Yellow''' ones are worth 10;'''Red''' ones are worth 20; '''Purple''' are worth 50; and the '''Silver''' ones are worth a whopping 100! The most valuable '''Rupee''' however, is the '''Golden Rupee''', which is worth 200.


In [[Ocarina of Time]] there is a '''large Orange Rupee''' worth 500 and can be found at random by replaying the [[Diving Game]] at [[Zora's Domain]] and by killing a [[skull kid]] in the [[Lost Woods]].

A purple rupee seen in the text of [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]] as you find one. Worth 50, as stated above.

In Twilight Princess, however, orange ruppes are worth 100, and rarer still are silver rupees worth 200.
