==Location and Uses==
==Location and Uses==
Rupees have appeared in every ''Zelda'' game to date, with the exception of {{TAoL}}, where there are no items available for Link to purchase, and {{FSA}}, where [[Force Gem]]s appear in their place. They are most commonly acquired by defeating enemies, cutting tall [[Zelda Definitions#Grass|grass]] or [[Zelda Definitions#Bush|bush]]es, throwing [[Zelda Definitions#Rock|rock]]s, smashing [[pot]]s, [[Roll Attack|rolling]] or [[Dash Attack|dashing]] into [[tree]]s, winning minigames, or opening [[Treasure Chest]]s. They can also rarely be found simply lying around in the overworld and in dungeons, and are sometimes given to [[Link]] as rewards for completing certain sidequests. In many games, it is possible for Link to sell certain items, such as [[treasure]]s and [[bug]]s, in order to obtain Rupees quickly and easily.

They can also rarely be found simply lying around in the [[Overworld]] and in [[Dungeon]]s and are sometimes given to Link as rewards for completing certain sidequests. In many games, it is possible for Link to sell certain Items, such as [[Treasure]]s and [[Bug]]s, in order to obtain Rupees quickly and easily. In some games, it is also possible to [[Gambling|gamble]] for Rupees as well.
 
The amount of Rupees that Link can carry at once differs from game to game. In many games, Rupees are stored inside Wallets, in which Link can increase his carrying capacity by obtaining Wallet upgrades.
 
Rupees are primarily used to purchase Items in [[Shop]]s, play certain mini-games or progress through the game, usually by paying an important character a fee. The value of a Rupee is often denoted by its color, but the value of each color is inconsistent throughout the series. Generally, the greater the value of a Rupee, the harder it is to obtain, usually requiring more difficult tasks to do so. In {{OoS}} and {{OoA}}, {{FS}}, {{TMC}}, {{PH}}, and {{ST}}, both size and color denote value. In {{LA}}, the value of a Rupee is specified through text rather than color because of the [[Game Boy]]'s limited color palette.

==={{TLoZ|-}}===
{{Manual|TLoZ|Rubies|Rubies are the money used in this kingdom. They sometimes appear when Link disposes of the enemy. If Link collects enough of them, he can buy treasure from the merchant. Blue rubies are worth five times more than yellow ones. In all, Link can own up to 255 yellow rubies, and he may use them in any way he likes.}}
[[File:TLoZ Yellow Rupee Artwork.png|right|80px]]
[[File:TLoZ Blue Rupee Artwork.png|right|80px]]
In {{TLoZ}}, Rupees were originally called '''Rupies'''<ref>{{Cite|5 RUPIES|N/A|TLoZ}}</ref> (singular: Rupy),<ref>{{Cite|RUPY|N/A|TLoZ}}</ref> while they were called '''Rubies''' in the game manual.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= Rubies are the money used in this kingdom |game= TLoZ |page= 21}}</ref> They are referred to as Rupees in the [[Game Boy Advance]] release.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= A&A |publisher= |page= 383{{Exp Game|TLoZ}}}}</ref> Only two varieties exist in {{TLoZ|-}}.

==Appearances==
Normally, they can only be found by killing enemies or stumbling across hidden rooms in Dungeons,<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= They sometimes appear when Link disposes of the enemy.|game= TLoZ|page= 21}}</ref> where a large formation of yellow Rupees can be found. Defeating all enemies in a room will sometimes reward Rupees. However, in addition to this, [[Moblin]]s hidden in {{Plural|TLoZ|Cave|link}} around Hyrule will gift Link Rupees when visited, uttering the [[Iconic Quotes from The Legend of Zelda|iconic phrase]] "It's a secret to everybody."<ref>{{Cite|IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY.|Moblin|TLoZ}}</ref> Alternatively, [[Old Man|Old Men]] can be found in hidden {{Plural|TLoZ|Cave}}, who will force Link to pay Rupees to repair the entrance that he damaged to get inside.<ref>{{Cite|PAY ME FOR THE DOOR REPAIR.|Old Man|TLoZ}}</ref> Link can also gamble his Rupees by playing [[Money Making Game]],<ref>{{Cite|LET'S PLAY A MONEY-MAKING GAME.|Old Man|TLoZ}}</ref> where he can choose to spend 10 Rupees on one of three slots to either gain or lose Rupees.
===''The Legend of Zelda''===
[[File:RupeeArtwork.png|right|80px]]
[[File:RupeeBlueArtwork.png|right|80px]]
In {{TLoZ}}, Rupees are called Rupies,{{fact}} and only orange and blue varieties exist. Normally, they can only be found by killing enemies or stumbling across hidden rooms in dungeons. However, in addition to this, a [[Moblin]] hidden in a cave in northeast [[Hyrule]] will gift Link 100 Rupees when visited, uttering the [[Iconic Quotes from The Legend of Zelda|iconic phrase]] "it's a secret to everybody" in the process.<ref>{{Cite|IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY.|Moblin|LOZ}}</ref> On the other hand, certain [[Old Man|Old Men]] will demand that Link pays them for damaging their doors if he intrudes on their caves, and subsequently take 20 Rupees from him.<ref>{{Cite|PAY ME FOR THE DOOR REPAIR CHARGE.|Old Man|TLoZ}}</ref>


Rupees can be used to buy items such as [[Food]] and [[Bomb]]s from [[Merchant]]s, and [[Potion]]s from [[Old Woman|Old Women]], as well as play the [[Gambling|Money Making Game]], which, while a potential risk, can come in useful if Link happens to be low on funds. One Old Woman living near [[Death Mountain]] even requires a payment of 20 Rupees if Link desires to know how to scale the [[Lost Hills]] and reach the [[Lizard]] dungeon,<ref>{{Cite|PAY ME AND I'LL TALK.|Old Woman|TLoZ}}</ref> and a lone Old Man inside the [[Dragon]] dungeon will sell Link a Bomb capacity upgrade for 100 Rupees.<ref>{{Cite|I BET YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE MORE BOMBS.|Old Man|TLoZ}}</ref> Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Rupees are also used to fire the [[Bow]], with one Rupee being deducted for every [[Arrow]] that Link shoots, as Arrows don't appear as collectible ammunition in the game. Naturally, if Link runs out of Rupees, he will be unable to use the Bow until he gets some more.

{{Manual|ALttP|Rupees|The people of Hyrule use precious stones called Rupees as currency. There are three different kinds of Rupees:<br/>Green rupee <nowiki>=</nowiki> 1 rupee<br/>Blue rupee <nowiki>=</nowiki> 5 rupees<br/>Red rupee <nowiki>=</nowiki> 20 rupees}}
After their absence in {{TAoL}}, Rupees reappear in {{ALttP}}, in which they can be colored green, blue, or red. These colors have since been used in every other game in the series, having the exact same value in every appearance. However, there are also three other kinds of Rupee that can only be found in Treasure Chests, which are all green and have their value denoted by a small number. It is unknown whether the single Rupee is worth said value, or if the number simply shows how many individual green Rupees Link obtains at once, much like with bundles of Arrows or Bombs.

After their absence in {{TAoL|-}}, Rupees reappear in {{ALttP}}, in which they are colored Green, Blue, or Red. These colors have since been used in every other game in the series, having the exact same value in every canonical appearance. There are also three other kinds of Rupee that can only be found in Treasure Chests, which are all green and have their value denoted by a small number. Large formations of Blue Rupees can also be found hidden in certain {{Plural|ALttP|Cave|link}} and {{Plural|ALttP|Dungeon|link}}, such as the basement floor of the [[Palace of Darkness]] and [[Chris Houlihan]]'s room, which brightly glisten.
 
{{ALttP|-}} introduced the concept of being able to find Rupees by cutting grass and bushes, destroying Rocks and Pots, opening Treasure Chests, and dashing into Trees. The [[Shovel]] can also be used to dig for Rupees, most notably at the [[Digging Game|Treasure Field]]. It also introduced the ability to sell Items to gain Rupees; Link is able to sell [[Golden Bee]]s to the [[Street Merchant]] for 100 Rupees each,<ref>{{Cite|Wow! I've never seen such a rare bug! I'll buy it for 100 Rupees, OK? Done!|Street Merchant|ALttP}}</ref> as well as [[Fish]] for 21 Rupees in addition to [[Bomb]]s and Arrows.<ref>{{Cite|Hey! They say eating fish makes you smart. You have to give me your fish for this stuff, OK? Of course!|Street Merchant|ALttP}}</ref> As a small easter egg, paintings resembling {{smw|Mario}} can be found in certain buildings in [[Kakariko Village]], and will occasionally produce Rupees when pulled. Link is able to spend his Rupees at various Shops and mini-games located throughout both Hyrule and the Dark World, earning him many Items such as [[Shield]]s and [[Potion]]s. There are also three [[Fortune Teller]]s, one located north of Kakariko Village, one north of the [[Village of Outcasts]], and one in northwest {{Term|ALttP|Lake Hylia|link}}, who Link can pay between 10 and 30 Rupees to learn how to progress in his quest. Most importantly, Rupees used to open the [[Palace of Darkness]], as Link needs to pay [[Kiki]] the monkey ten Rupees to follow him to the Dungeon, and another 100 to open its door. Rupees are perhaps used most extensively to donate to the [[Pond of Happiness]], where [[Venus]] will upgrade Link's Bomb or Arrow carrying capacity by five for every 100 Rupees he throws in.

In the Game Boy Advance version of {{ALttP|-}}, [[Rupee Rock]]s will sometimes randomly appear in place of other stones. These Rocks can be struck with the [[Sword]] repeatedly to drop Rupees for as long as it sparkles.

===''Link's Awakening''===
==={{LA|-}}===
{{Images|LA}}
{{Manual|LA|Rupee (Koholint's Currency)|This shows the number of rupees that you currently have. You can carry up to 999 rupees.}}
{{LA}} introduced the ability to dig up Rupees using the [[Shovel]], and all Rupees that are found via this method or by cutting grass are worth one Rupee, most likely because of the color graphic limitations of the [[Game Boy]]. If Link has at least twenty [[Secret Seashell]]s and exchanges them for a {{Sec|Swords of Link's Awakening|Level 2 Sword}}, then any chests that would have contained extra Secret Seashells will contain twenty Rupees instead. If Link does not exchange his twenty Secret Seashells, then the chests will still contain Secret Seashells until he does. Rupees in this game can be spent at either the [[Town Tool Shop]] or the [[Trendy Game]] Shop, both of which are located in [[Mabe Village]]. Furthermore, Link must pay [[Mamu]] 300 Rupees if he wishes to learn the [[Frog's Song of Soul]], revive the {{sec|Cucco|Flying Rooster}}, and access [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]].<ref>{{Cite|Ribbit! Ribbit! I'm Mamu, on vocals! But I don't need to tell you that, do I? Everybody knows me! Want to hang out and listen to us jam? For 300 Rupees, we'll let you listen to a previously unreleased cut!|Mamu|LA}}</ref>
[[File:LA Rupee Artwork.png|right]]
In {{LA}}, due to the Game Boy's limited color palette, Rupees found by defeating enemies, cutting grass, and digging with the Shovel are worth only one Rupee. Higher values of Rupees, namely those found in Treasure Chests, are instead denoted by text rather than color. The [[Trendy Game]] Shop in [[Mabe Village]] provides Rupees worth thirty as prizes on the moving conveyor belt. If Link has at least twenty [[Secret Seashell]]s and exchanges them for the [[Level 2 Sword]], then any chests that would have contained extra Secret Seashells will contain twenty Rupees instead.  


In {{LADX}}, all Rupees are colored blue, except for the two red Rupees that can be won as prizes for the Trendy Game, which are both worth thirty. Green Rupees, which are worth five Rupees, make an appearance in one hidden room of the [[Color Dungeon]], in a nod to the hidden, Rupee-filled rooms appearing in the dungeons of ''The Legend of Zelda''.
Rupees in {{LA|-}} can either be spent at the [[Town Tool Shop]] or at various mini-games around Koholint Island. Collecting Rupees becomes a necessary endeavor in this game, as the [[Deluxe Shovel]] and Bow must be purchased in order to progress through the game, the latter of which is required to solve a puzzle in {{Term|LANS|Turtle Rock|link}}. Furthermore, Link must pay [[Mamu]] 300 Rupees if he wishes to learn the [[Frog's Song of Soul]], revive the {{sec|Cucco|Flying Rooster}}, and access Turtle Rock.<ref>{{Cite|Ribbit! Ribbit! I'm Mamu, on vocals! But I don't need to tell you that, do I? Everybody knows me! Want to hang out and listen to us jam? For 300 Rupees, we'll let you listen to a previously unreleased cut! What do you do?|Mamu|LADX}}</ref>
{| class="altrow" style="text-align:center;"
 
In {{LA|DX}}, all Rupees are colored blue, with the exception of the Rupee prizes in the Trendy Game Shop, which are colored red. In the [[Color Dungeon]] only, a large formation of green Rupees can be found in a secret room, similarly to the hidden Rupees of {{ALttP|-}}. These Rupees are worth five each.

===''Ocarina of Time''===
{{LA|NS}} changes Rupees to follow the values used by more recent titles in the series and introduces Purple, Silver and Gold Rupees to the game.
In {{OoT}}, seven different varieties of Rupee exist, though the Blue Rupee and Silver Rupee are worth the same amount, and the Huge Rupee and Orange Rupee are worth the same amount. The Silver Rupee's low value is due to the fact that its only purpose in the game is as a puzzle element, and not an actual spending Rupee. These Rupee puzzles can be found in [[Dodongo's Cavern]] ({{MQ}} only), the [[Ice Cavern]], the [[Bottom of the Well]], the [[Shadow Temple]], the [[Gerudo Training Ground]], the [[Spirit Temple]], and some routes of [[Ganon's Tower|Ganon's Castle]]. In all of these locations, a set of Silver Rupees must be collected (occasionally within a time limit) in order to open a locked door or make a Treasure Chest appear.


Like in ''A Link to the Past'', Link may sell certain [[bottle]]d items such as [[Fish]] and [[Blue Fire]] to the {{Sec|Banker|Hyrulean Counterpart|Beggar}} who lives in the [[Hyrule Castle Town|Market]] when Link is a child, or [[Kakariko Village]] when Link is an adult.<ref>{{Cite|Please sell me the contents of a bottle...|Beggar|OoT}}</ref> [[Poe]]s and {{sec|Poe|Notable Poes|Big Poe}}s, however, can be sold to the [[Poe Collector]], who appears near the entrance to the Market in the future.

==={{OoT|-}}===
In {{OoT}}, seven different varieties of Rupee exist, though the Blue and Silver Rupees are both worth five Rupees, while the Huge and Orange Rupee are both worth 200. Silver Rupees are unique as they serve as a puzzle element; a set of Silver Rupees must be collected (occasionally within a time limit) in order to open a locked door or make a Treasure Chest appear. These Rupee puzzles can be found in [[Dodongo's Cavern]] ({{MQ}} only), the {{Term|OoT3D|Ice Cavern|link}}, the [[Bottom of the Well]], the [[Shadow Temple]], the [[Gerudo Training Ground]], the [[Spirit Temple]], and some routes of [[Ganon's Castle]].
 
Like in {{ALttP|-}}, Link may sell certain [[Bottle]]d Items such as Fish and [[Blue Fire]] to the [[Buyer]] who lives in the [[Market]] when Link is a child, or Kakariko Village when Link is an adult.<ref>{{Cite|Please sell me the contents of a bottle...|Buyer|OoT}}</ref> [[Poe Soul]]s and [[Big Poe Soul]]s, however, can be sold to the [[Poe Collector]], who appears near the entrance to the Market in the future. As part of the [[Mask Trading Sequence]], Link may also sell [[Mask]]s to various characters, the most notable being the [[Running Man]], who will completely fill up Link's current Wallet, regardless of how large it is, for the [[Bunny Hood]].<ref>{{Cite|I bet with those long ears you can hear the voices...

In addition, if Link enters the [[Lost Woods]] as an adult and manages to defeat one of the [[Skull Kid]]s there, he will receive an Orange Rupee, which can also be obtained multiple times. As an easter egg, if Link shoots at one of the windows in the [[Castle Courtyard]] with the [[Slingshot]], it will produce a Red Rupee, though this may only happen once.

===''Majora's Mask''===
==={{MM|-}}===
Rupees in {{MM}} remain largely the same as in ''Ocarina of Time'', the only difference being that Silver Rupees are worth 100 Rupees rather than 5, and aren't used as puzzle elements. Since the Beggar doesn't appear in [[Termina]], Link can sell his bottled items to the [[Curiosity Shop]] in [[West Clock Town]] instead. Unlike the Beggar, the [[Man from Curiosity Shop]] will buy any of Link's bottled items—excluding major, plot-related ones such as the [[Deku Princess]] and [[Seahorse]]—and will pay the most for Big Poes, [[Chateau Romani]], and [[Gold Dust]], which each sell for 200 Rupees. In addition, the game's three day cycle allow for certain Rupees to be obtained multiple times whenever Link plays the [[Song of Time]] and returns to the Dawn of the [[First Day]]. Of these, some of the most notable are the three Silver Rupees that can be found in Treasure Chests in [[East Clock Town]], the [[Astral Observatory|Bombers' Hideout]], and the [[Stock Pot Inn]], and the Purple Rupee that can be found in a Treasure Chest on the tower opposite the [[Clock Tower]] in [[South Clock Town]] on the [[Final Day]]. Also, three Red Rupees can repeatedly be found in the [[Laundry Pool]], but they can only be accessed on the Night of the [[Second Day]], being out of reach at any other time. Lastly, if Link dons the [[Postman's Hat]], he may receive either a Green or a Blue Rupee whenever he interacts with a [[Mail Box]]. Like in ''Ocarina of Time'' the Huge Rupee in ''Majora's Mask'' is given to Link after he completes a certain sidequest, which in this case is the [[Majora's Mask Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]]. After giving the {{Sec|Title Deed|Ocean Title Deed}} to the Business Scrub in [[Ikana Canyon]], Link will be rewarded with the Huge Rupee, and he may go back in time and repeat the entire trading sequence again to get the prize as many times as he desires. Also like in ''Ocarina of Time'', the Orange Rupee is dropped by a rare and powerful enemy, which in this case is the [[Takkuri]] near the entrance to [[Milk Road]] in [[Termina Field]]. Interestingly, [[Bubble|Blue Bubble]]s will always drop Purple Rupees when shot by a [[Light Arrow]].
Rupees in {{MM}} remain largely the same as in {{OoT|-}}, the only difference being that Silver Rupees are now worth 100 rather than 5, and are not used as puzzle elements. Whenever Link plays the [[Song of Time]] to reset the three-day cycle and return to the Dawn of the [[First Day]], any Rupees in his Wallet will be lost, along with any ammunition Items. To counteract this, Link can deposit his Rupees at the [[Clock Town Bank]] in [[West Clock Town]] ([[South Clock Town]] in {{MM3D}}), which allows Link to store up to 5,499 Rupees. As Link saves up more Rupees, he will be rewarded with different prizes, the most valuable being a Piece of Heart. The upside to resetting the three-day cycle, however, means that most Rupees can be obtained multiple times whenever Link resets the cycle, most notably those found in Treasure Chests. Of these, some of the most notable are the three Silver Rupees that can be found in Treasure Chests in [[East Clock Town]], the [[Astral Observatory|Bombers' Hideout]], and the [[Stock Pot Inn]], as well as the Purple Rupee, found in a Treasure Chest on the tower opposite of the [[Clock Tower]] in South Clock Town on the [[Final Day]]. Also, three Red Rupees can repeatedly be found in the [[Laundry Pool]], but they can only be accessed on the Night of the [[Second Day]], being out of reach at any other time.
 
Link can sell his Bottled Items to the [[Curiosity Shop]] in West Clock Town. Unlike the Buyer from {{OoT|-}}, the [[Man from Curiosity Shop]] will buy any of Link's Bottled Items—excluding major, plot-related Items such as the [[Deku Princess]] and [[Seahorse]]—and will pay the most for Big Poe Souls, [[Chateau Romani]], and [[Gold Dust]], which each sell for 200 Rupees. If Link dons the [[Postman's Hat]], he may receive either a Green or a Blue Rupee whenever he interacts with a {{Term|MM3D|Postbox|link}}. Like in {{OoT|-}}, the Huge Rupee in {{MM|-}} is given to Link after he completes the {{Term|MM3D|Trading Quest|link}}. After giving the {{Sec|Title Deed|Ocean Title Deed}} to the Business Scrub in [[Ikana Canyon]], Link will be rewarded with the Huge Rupee, and he may go back in time and repeat the entire Trading Sequence again to receive the prize as many times as he desires. The [[Takkuri]] near the entrance to the [[Milk Road]] in [[Termina Field]] will drop an Orange Rupee when defeated. Interestingly, [[Red Bubble]]s will always drop Purple Rupees when shot by a [[Light Arrow]].


Termina, like Hyrule, features shops, minigames, and Business Scrubs that Link can spend Rupees on. Of the 20 non-transformation Masks that appear in the game, only one, the [[All-Night Mask]], must be purchased. It will be on sale for 500 Rupees in the Curiosity Shop on the night of the Final Day if Link saves the [[Old Lady from Bomb Shop]] from [[Sakon]] in [[North Clock Town]] on the Night of the First Day.<ref>{{Cite|Tonight's bargain is the All-Night Mask for use at bedtime.

===''Oracle'' Series===
==={{OoS|-}}===
{{sectstub|OoA|OoS}}
In {{OoA}} and {{OoS}}, Rupees are the currency used in both [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]], respectively. The land of [[Subrosia]] in {{OoS|-}} uses [[Ore Chunk]]s as its currency instead, as Rupees do not appear there at all. Rupees in {{OoS|-}} and {{OoA|-}} are denoted by their color as well as size, with larger Rupees equating to higher values. Like {{LA|-}}, the value of Rupees found in Treasure Chests is also denoted by text as well. While Rupees are most commonly found through conventional means, Rupees may also sometimes be randomly found inside [[Gasha Nut]]s. [[Maple]] will often drop and scatter her Rupees, along with Link's, if the two collide with each other. In certain Dungeons, it is possible to find large formations of Green Rupees in hidden rooms, similarly to those in {{ALttP|-}}. These unique Green Rupees are worth ten each. Very large Rupees can potentially be dug up with the Shovel.<ref>{{Cite|I must dig holes to plant trees, but sometimes, I find huge Rupees!|Bipsom|OoS}}</ref> In {{OoS|-}}, as a throwback to the Moblins and Old Men of {{TLoZ|-}}, Link may sometimes find hidden staircases on the Overworld that lead to underground homes of Old Men, who will either gift Link some Rupees or force him to pay back for destroying their doors. Similar Old Men also appear in {{OoA|-}} in a single {{Term|OoS|Cave|link}} at the [[Rolling Ridge Base]]. The Old Man in the past will generously gift Link Rupees, while the Old Man in the present will make him pay it back. The value of Rupees is doubled when Link is equipped with the {{Sec|Magic Ring|Red Joy Ring}} or the {{Sec|Magic Ring|Gold Joy Ring}}.
Rupees are the currency used in both [[Holodrum]] and [[Labrynna]]. [[Subrosia]] uses [[Ore Chunks]] as its currency, and Rupees do not appear there at all.


{| class="altrow" style="text-align:center;"
Rupees in the ''Oracle'' games are mainly used to purchase Items, such as from the [[Lynna Item Shop]] or [[Horon Village Shop]], as well as play a variety of mini-games in their respective lands. Rupees are also used to appraise [[Magic Ring]]s at [[Vasu Jewelers]] for 20 Rupees each; [[Vasu]] will buy duplicate rings for 30 Rupees.

Higher values are usually specified by in game text. It should be noted that using the [[Shovel]], Link can dig up huge Rupees that are worth 100 Rupees. Rupee values double when equipped with the {{Sec|Magic Ring|Red Joy Ring}} or {{Sec|Magic Ring|Gold Joy Ring}}.
==={{FS|-}}===
{{Manual|FS|Rupees|There are three different colors of Rupee and two different sizes. The value of a Rupee depends on its size and color.}}
[[File:FS Blue Rupee Artwork.png|right]]
Rupees play a much larger role in {{FS}}, where the main objective of the first three stages is to collect as many Rupees as possible in order to receive a Key from each of the [[Great Fairies]]. These Keys are necessary to enter [[Vaati's Palace]]. A total of 1,000 is needed for the [[Silver Key]], 3,000 for the [[Golden Key]], and 5,000 for the [[Hero's Key]]. After a stage is completed, the {{Plural|FS|Links|link}} are each scored on the number of Rupees they have collected each. The {{Term|FS|Links}} who collects the most Rupees in a stage is rewarded a [[Medal of Courage]]. Like {{OoS|-}} and {{OoA|-}}, the value of Rupees is denoted by their color and size.


===''Four Swords''===
Rupees are found through most conventional means, such as by defeating enemies, cutting grass or other obstacles, and opening Treasure Chests. Some rooms of an area will also spawn multiple Rupees for a period of time. When all four {{Plural|FS|Links}} are at full health, the stage goes into '''Rupee Fever''', where the value of Rupees are doubled for as long as the {{Plural|FS|Links}} maintain their full health. When the {{Plural|FS|Links}} arrive at the warp zone at the end of each section of a stage, they are also awarded bonus Rupees based on how much time they took to complete that area. Four '''Rupee Shards''' can also be found hidden in every Stage. When one {{Term|FS|Links}} manages to collect all four, he is rewarded with a total of 500 Rupees.
{{sectstub|FS}}
 
{{ImageCaption
However, it is also possible to lose Rupees, as well. Being attacked by an enemy will result in a {{Term|FS|Links}} dropping a few of his Rupees. Dropped Rupees will shortly disappear if they are not picked up in time. It is possible for one {{Term|FS|Links}} to steal another's Rupees by collecting them as enemy attacks drop them. [[Rupee Wraith]]s will also follow and attach themselves to a Link to drain their Rupees, though this enemy can also be passed onto another {{Term|FS|Links}}. A new type of Rupee, called [[Rupoor]]s, may also sometimes appear, which picking up will cause the {{Term|FS|Links}} to drop up to 80 of his Rupees. Lastly, Rupees are also lost when one of the {{Plural|FS|Links}} is defeated, where a penalty must be paid for revival. At first, the amount is 50, but increases by another 50 Rupees each time a {{Term|FS|Links}} falls. The maximum cost of a revival is 500 Rupees. If a {{Term|FS|Links}} is defeated and he does not have enough Rupees to revive, the game ends.

===''The Wind Waker''===
==={{TWW|-}}===
{{sectstub|TWW}}
{{TWW}}'s Rupee system is similar to {{OoT|-}}{{'}}s and {{MM|-}}{{'}}s, but differs as Orange Rupees are now worth 100, Silver Rupees are worth 200, and it introduces Yellow Rupees, which are worth ten. [[Spoil]]s can be sold to [[Beedle]] at his [[Beedle's Shop Ship|Shop Ship]] for a small price. Once Link obtains the [[Grappling Hook]], he will be able to salvage for Rupees while at sea by dropping the hook into spots where {{Plural|TWWHD|Ring of Light|link}} form, which will produce a Treasure Chest containing any amount of Rupees, usually 50. Some {{Plural|TWWHD|Ring of Light}} will only appear once Link has obtained its appropriate [[Treasure Chart]], which may reward in 100 or 200 Rupees. For discovering all five [[Tingle Statue]]s, [[Ankle]] will reward Link with 500 Rupees, which is represented on-screen by an Orange Rupee. Link can also earn Rupees by participating in the [[Mail Center (Mini-Game)|Mail Center]] {{Term|TWWHD|Mini-Game}} in the [[Dragon Roost Cavern]], where he will be paid up to three Rupees for each Letter correctly sorted, depending on his "salary".<ref>{{Cite|The better you do, the {{Color|TWW Vermilion|higher}} your salary will become! That's economics.|Koboli|TWW}}</ref>
{| class="altrow" style="text-align:center;"
 
Rupees are used extensively in {{TWW|-}} to purchase a variety of goods from various Shops, as well as participate in {{Plural|TWWHD|Mini-Game}}. Rupees become extremely important as they are necessary to purchase the [[Sail]] from [[Zunari]], which is required to leave [[Windfall Island]]. Link will also need to pay [[Tingle]] 398 Rupees to decipher each [[Triforce Chart]] in order to find the {{Plural|TWWHD|Ring of Light}} where the [[Triforce Shard]]s are found. Link can purchase other various Items, such as [[Bait]] and ammunition, from Beedle's Shop Ship. Rupees are used extensively at the [[Auction House]] in Windfall Island, where Link may compete against the island residents to bid for various Items. Rupees can also be spent through the [[Tingle Tuner]] for Tingle's various wares and services.
 
In {{TWWHD}}, the [[Magic Armor#The Wind Waker|Magic Armor]] consumes Link's Rupees when he is hit by an attack, as opposed to draining his [[Magic Meter|Magic]] originally.

==={{TMC|-}}===
{{sectstub|TMC}}
The Rupee system in {{TMC}} is the same as the one in {{FS|-}}, with the exception of Rupoors and Rupee Shards, which do not appear. Some [[Kinstone Fusion]]s may result in a Treasure Chest appearing somewhere that contains a certain amount of Rupees, while other fusions may produce a [[Golden Monsters|Golden Monster]], powerful enemies that drop a high sum of Rupees when defeated. These types of Kinstone Fusions can usually be identified when the prospecting participant dreams of a Rupee symbol. [[Yellow Picolyte]] can be purchased from Beedle in [[Hyrule Town]] square, which will increase the odds of Rupees appearing for as long as it is active.
The Rupee system used in {{TMC}} is the same as the one seen in ''Four Swords'', except Black Rupees and Rupee Shards do not appear.
 
{| class="altrow" style="text-align:center;"
Rupees in {{TMC|-}} are mainly used to purchase Items, such as goods from [[Stockwell's Shop]], Potions from [[Witch's Hut#The Minish Cap|Syrup the Witch's Hut]], and [[Lon Lon Milk]] from [[Malon]] when she is in town, as well as to participate in certain mini-games. In Hyrule Town, Link can also gamble for Rupees at the [[Chest Mini-Game Shop]].

The Rupee system used in {{TP}} is identical to the one seen in ''The Wind Waker''. Link can continuously earn Rupees by finding [[Golden Bug]]s and giving them to [[Agitha]], who will award him 50 Rupees for one bug, and 100 Rupees each time he completes a pair. Agitha will also give Link the [[Wallet|Big Wallet]] after giving her the first bug. Once Link has handed in all 24 bugs, Agitha will reward him with the Giant Wallet. The [[Magic Armor#Twilight Princess|Magic Armor]] uses Rupees to function, draining them when worn. The armor protects Link from damage, draining 12 Rupees when attacked. If Link runs out of Rupees, the armor will lose its power and become heavy, as if Link was wearing the [[Iron Boots]].  
The Rupee system in {{TP}} is the same as the one in {{TWW|-}}. Link can continuously earn Rupees by finding [[Golden Bug]]s and giving them to [[Agitha]] in [[Hyrule Castle Town (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle Town]], who will reward him 50 Rupees for one bug, and 100 Rupees each time he completes a pair. Agitha will also give Link the [[Big Wallet]] after giving her the first bug, and the [[Giant Wallet]] once he has handed in all 24 bugs. Once Link has collected all 60 Poe Souls and lifted [[Jovani]]'s curse, his pet cat [[Gengle]] can be found at his house, who will reward Link 200 Rupees every time he visits. [[Hena]] will reward Link ten Rupees for every [[Rollgoal]] level he completes, and will completely fill his Wallet to its maximum capacity after completing the 64th level. In {{TPHD}}, each time Link completes one section of the [[Cave of Shadows]] as [[Wolf Link|a wolf]], he will find a Treasure Chest containing a small number of Rupees at its end before having to leave. The final floor of the Cave of Shadows contains a Silver Rupee, as well as a hidden Orange Rupee that can be found by digging at the head of the Wolf Link statue.


''Twilight Princess'' introduced for the first and only time a feature where Link puts Rupees back to a Treasure Chest if his wallet capacity is exceeded. After reducing his number of Rupees, Link can then come back to open the chest again and retrieve the Rupees.
As in previous games, Rupees are used to buy goods from Shops and participate in mini-games. Rupees are used much more extensively in the sidequest to open a [[Malo Mart]] branch in Hyrule Castle Town, which first involves donating 1,000 Rupees to [[Gor Ebizo]] in Kakariko Village's Malo Mart to repair the bridge leading to Castle Town, then another 200 Rupees to buy out [[Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium]] and replace it with Malo Mart. Once the Castle Town branch has been opened, Link will be able to purchase the more affordable [[Magic Armor#Twilight Princess|Magic Armor]], which uses Rupees to function. This armor protects Link from all damage, at the cost of draining his Rupees by the second and draining him of twelve Rupees each time he sustains damage. If Link runs out of Rupees, the armor loses its power and becomes heavy. Rupees are also used extensively to donate to [[Charlo]] in the {{Exp|East in the Wii version|West}} Road of Hyrule Castle Town, who will give Link a Piece of Heart after giving him a total of 1,000 Rupees.


{| class="altrow" style="text-align:center;"
{{TP|-}} introduced, for the first and only time, a feature where Link puts Rupees back into a Treasure Chest if his Wallet capacity is exceeded. This feature was removed in {{TPHD|-}}, where Link will still keep the Rupees even if his Wallet is full.

===''Phantom Hourglass'' and ''Spirit Tracks''===
==={{PH|-}}===
{| class="altrow" style="text-align:center;"
{{PH}} uses color and size to denote value. [[Treasure]]s can be sold for a small sum of Rupees to the [[Treasure Teller]] on [[Mercay Island]]. The Teller of Treasures will also buy [[Ship Parts]] from Link as well. While Rupees can be found through most conventional means while on foot and in Dungeons, Rupees can also be earned while sailing in the World of the Ocean King. When Link receives the [[Cannon]] part for the [[SS Linebeck|Linebeck's ship]], he will be able to shoot down enemies and obstacles such as Rocks to reveal [[Heart]]s for the vehicle and sometimes Rupees. Rupees in bubbles can also be collected while using the [[Salvage Arm]] to haul up Treasure Chests, although the chests themselves do not contain Rupees.
 
{{PH|-}} also features Rupoors, which deduct a certain amount of Rupees from Link's Wallet when they are picked up.
 
As with other games, Rupees in {{PH|-}} are primarily used to purchase Items from various Shops in their respective worlds.

==={{SS|-}}===
The Rupee system in {{SS}} uses a simplified system with only five main colors. It reintroduces the Silver Rupee worth 100, as well as the Gold Rupee from {{PH|-}} and {{ST|-}}, now worth 300.
 
Link can earn Rupees in a variety of ways. Treasures collected can be sold to [[Rupin]] in his house in [[Skyloft]] at night in exchange for Rupees. In addition, [[Strich]] will buy [[Bug]]s that Link has caught and will give him Rupees for them at night. Link can also obtain Rupees by drawing a hexagon shape on a [[Goddess Wall]].<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|SS Red|Glimmering Hexagon}}... Ye who seeks great riches, draw this shape so that it may be known.|Gorko|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Apparently, if you draw a symbol of money on certain walls, you can make an easy fortune.|Gossip Stone|SS}}</ref> Rupees may sometimes be unearthed by digging in marked mounds using the [[Digging Mitts]], and shooting different colors of [[Rupee Ore]] with the Slingshot or Bow will cause the corresponding color of Rupee to pop out of it.
 
Rupees are used extensively in {{SS|-}} to purchase Items and [[Upgrading|upgrades]] at the {{Term|SS|Skyloft Bazaar|link}} or [[Beedle's Air Shop]], some of which may prove necessary on Link's quest. These include upgrades to his {{Term|SSHD|Pouch|link}}, as well as new, stronger equipment at the [[Gear Shop]], and upgrades to pre-existing equipment at the [[Scrap Shop]], with the latter also requiring certain Treasures for each upgrade. Rupees can also be used to purchase Potions at the [[Potion Shop#Skyward Sword|Potion Shop]], as well as upgrade them at the cost of Rupees and specific Bugs.
 
In addition to the five colors of Rupees, Rupoors make a reappearance and will rob Link of 10 Rupees when collected. These can be found in underground tunnels or dug up during the [[Thrill Digger]] mini-game. Black-colored Rupee Ores will also drop Rupoors when shot with the Slingshot or Bow.
 
Equipping the [[Rupee Medal]] causes Rupees to appear more frequently. The [[Cursed Medal]] produces a similar effect, but prevents Link from opening his Adventure Pouch.

===''Skyward Sword''===
==={{ALBW|-}}===
In {{SS}}, a mineral known as '''Rupee Ore''' can be found along the walls of [[Tubert]]'s cave. By shooting at it with either the [[Slingshot]] or the [[Bow]], Link may obtain Rupees.<ref>{{Cite|You see the shining stone sticking out of the wall? That's pure Rupee Ore! It's also why there are so many Rupees to dig up here. If you sling something at it, it'll pop right out. Go on and give it a try!|Tubert|SS}}</ref> The amount of Rupees corresponds to the color of the Rupee Ore that was shot. Link can also obtain Rupees by drawing a hexagon shape on a [[Goddess Wall]].<ref>{{Cite|Glimmering Hexagon... Ye who seeks great riches, draw this shape so that it may be known.|Gorko|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Apparently, if you draw a symbol of money on certain walls, you can make an easy fortune.|Gossip Stone|SS}}</ref>. ''Skyward Sword'' is perhaps the most expensive game so far, as Link must purchase not only the upgrades to his [[Adventure Pouch]] with [[Beedle's Air Shop|Beedle]], but also most of his equipment in the [[Gear Shop]], or otherwise, find the necessary [[treasure]]s and pay the cost of an upgrade in the [[Scrap Shop]]. Along with purchasing potions in the [[Luv and Bertie's Potion Shop|Potion Shop]], Link can also upgrade them for a cost and using specific [[bug]]s.
The {{Term|ALBW|Rupee}} system in {{ALBW}} is similar to the one in {{SS|-}}, but with the absence of {{Plural|SSHD|Rupoor}} and the inclusion of {{Plural|ALBW|Purple Rupee}}. {{Plural|ALBW|Silver Rupee|display=Silver}} and {{Plural|ALBW|Gold Rupee}} appear larger than the other varieties, with an extra layer of translucent sheen. {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} are used as the currency of both {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule}} and {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}}. The game notably features the lack of a {{Term|Series|Wallet}} upgrade and allows {{Term|ALBW|Link}} to carry up to a maximum of 9,999 {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}}. This feature facilitates the rental of equipment from {{Term|ALBW|Ravio's Shop|link}}, where {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} are used most extensively in the game. {{Term|ALBW|Link}} may rent {{Term|ALBW|Ravio|link}}'s equipment at a cheap cost for an indefinite period or may purchase the equipment to own at a higher price. If {{Term|ALBW|Link}} falls in battle while renting any {{Plural|ALBW|Item}}, {{Term|ALBW|Ravio}}'s bird-like pet {{Term|ALBW|Sheerow|link}} will appear to take the {{Term|ALBW|Item}} back to his {{Term|ALBW|Shop}}, forcing {{Term|ALBW|Link}} to return to rent the {{Term|ALBW|Item}} again.
 
In {{Term|ALBW|Death Mountain|link}}, {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee Boulder|link}} containing chunks of {{Plural|ALBW|Green Rupee}} can be found. These {{Plural|ALBW|Boulder}} can be smashed with the {{Term|ALBW|Hammer|link}} to make the {{Plural|ALBW|Green Rupee}} fly out. Similarly, when the {{Term|ALBW|Gemesaur King|link}}'s mask is smashed with the {{Term|ALBW|Hammer}}, some {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} will fall out as well. Some areas also feature {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee Rock|link}} which, for a brief period of time, will dispense {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} as {{Term|ALBW|Link}} strikes them with his {{Term|ALBW|Sword|link}}. In homage to the {{Plural|TLoZ|Moblin}} of {{TLoZ|-}}, there is also a friendly {{Term|ALBW|Hinox (Character)|link}} found in a {{Term|ALBW|Cave|link}} in eastern {{Term|ALBW|Lorule}} who will bribe {{Term|ALBW|Link}} with {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} to leave him alone. {{Term|ALBW|Link}} can demand more {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} from him before accepting his price, although asking for too much may cause the {{Term|ALBW|Hinox}} to become enraged and attack.
 
Aside from {{Term|ALBW|Ravio's Shop}}, {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} are also used to purchase {{Plural|ALBW|Item}} from {{Plural|ALBW|Shop}} and participate in {{Plural|ALBW|Mini-Game|link}}. The {{Term|ALBW|Fortune's Choice|link}} {{Term|ALBW|Mini-Game}}, similar to the {{Term|ALttP|Treasure Chest Game|link}} in {{ALttP|-}}, allows {{Term|ALBW|Link}} to choose from a selection of {{Plural|ALBW|Treasure Chest}} for a chance to win {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}}.


{| class="altrow" style="text-align:center;"
[[File:ALBW Post-Credits Stats Screen.png|right|thumb|Rupees are tracked beyond Link's wallet capacity]]
As long as {{Term|ALBW|Link}} possesses fewer than 9,999 {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}}, any that he collects will also be added to a hidden "Total {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}} found" counter, which tracks up to a maximum of 99,999 {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}}. This total will be displayed following the game's ending and credits roll.

==={{TFH|-}}===
The {{Term|TFH|Rupee}} system in {{TFH}} is the same as the one in {{ALBW|-}}, with the minor adjustment of {{Plural|TFH|Purple Rupee}} being enlarged to match the {{Plural|TFH|Silver Rupee|display=Silver}} and {{Plural|TFH|Gold Rupee|display=Gold}} varieties. {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} are found throughout {{Plural|TFH|Level|link}} of the {{Term|TFH|Drablands|link}}, and to a lesser extent, the town of {{Term|TFH|Hytopia|link}}, where they are used as its currency. Like {{ALBW|-}}, there are no Wallet upgrades, though {{Term|TFH|Link}} can carry up to 99,999 in total, and up to 9,999 while in the {{Term|TFH|Drablands}}. {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} can be found through most conventional means, including in plain sight and inside {{Plural|TFH|Treasure Chest|display=Chests}}. When a {{Term|TFH|Boss|link}} is defeated, it will explode into many {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} for the {{Plural|TFH|Links|link}} to collect.
At the end of every {{Term|TFH|Level}}, the three {{Plural|TFH|Links}} have the amount of {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} collected during the {{Term|TFH|Level}} added to their respective totals. In addition, the amount of remaining {{Plural|TFH|Fairy|link}} the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} have is tallied and turned into bonus {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}}, multiplied by 30 for each {{Term|TFH|Fairy}}. The {{Term|TFH|Links}} will also receive a small number of "Sympathy {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}}" if one {{Term|TFH|Link}} disconnects during a {{Term|TFH|Level}}, multiplying 20 by the Stage number the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} were in. Each of the three {{Plural|TFH|Links}} receives the total amount of {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} collected by the trio, as opposed to the {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} being divided among them.
{{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} see very little use in {{TFH|-}}, where they are primarily used to pay {{Term|TFH|Madame Couture|link}} to tailor new {{Plural|TFH|Outfit|link}}, as well as purchase {{Plural|TFH|Material|link}} from the {{Term|TFH|Street Merchant|link}} and to change the prize of the {{Term|TFH|Daily Riches|link}} game. {{Term|TFH|Link}} can also sell un_ {{Plural|TFH|Material}} to the {{Term|TFH|Street Merchant}} for a small price.
If {{Term|TFH|Link}} wears the {{Term|TFH|Rupee Regalia|link}}, or if all gathered {{Plural|TFH|Links}} wear the {{Term|TFH|Tri Suit|link}}, the odds of {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} and their rarer values being dropped increases. It also causes dropped {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} of a single value to always appear in pairs, effectively doubling the value of each drop. This does not occur to {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} sitting in plain sight or those found in {{Plural|TFH|Treasure Chest}}.
{{TFH|-}} contains the only instance of degradable {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} in the entire series. Several {{Plural|TFH|Blue Rupee}} on [[Fire|fire]] are found atop a platform near the beginning of {{Term|TFH|Den of Flames|link}}, which turn into {{Plural|TFH|Green Rupee}} if not collected within fifteen seconds of starting the {{Term|TFH|Level}}.
After {{Term|TFH|Link}} clears all {{Plural|TFH|Level}} and their {{Plural|TFH|Drablands Challenge|link}} in every {{Term|TFH|Area}}, {{Term|TFH|King Tuft|link}} will reward him with a {{Term|TFH|Gold Rupee}}.

The Rupee system used in {{ALBW}} is similar to the one used in ''Skyward Sword'', but with the absence of Rupoors and the inclusion of Purple Rupees. The game notably features the lack of a wallet upgrade, and Link can carry up to a maximum of 9999 Rupees. This feature facilitates the rental of equipment from [[Ravio's Shop]]. Link may rent [[Ravio]]'s equipment at a cheap cost and for an indefinite period, or may purchase the equipment at a higher price.
In {{BotW}}, Rupees do not appear when cutting grass or defeating most monsters; instead, they are obtained by selling Items and can be found under Rocks, inside Barrels, in crates, and in Treasure Chests. They are also dropped by [[Yiga]] Clan members and [[Treasure Octorok]] when defeated, and by [[Blupee]]s when shot with an arrow.

In {{TFoE}}, {{Plural|TFoE|Rupee}} are used as the currency of [[Koridai]]. They can be found only by defeating enemies and must be picked up by crouching down and striking them with the Sword. Rubies are used to purchase a small selection of items such as [[Lantern Oil]], [[Rope (Object)|Rope]], and [[Bomb]]s from [[Morshu]]'s shop in the {{Term|TFoE|Goronu (Stage)|link}} area.<ref>{{Cite|Lamp Oil, Rope, Bombs? You want it!? It's yours, my friend... as long as you have enough Rubies.|Morshu|TFoE}}</ref> Certain items also require Rubies to function, and will use a set amount each time they are used.<ref>{{Cite|And you'll find some tools need Rubies before they'll work!|Link|TFoE}}</ref> Link can carry up to 999 Rubies.
In {{FPTRR}}, Rupees are the most important part of the game. They act as [[Tingle]]'s health in addition to being used as currency. Nearly everything in the game requires Rupees, including talking to people. Rupees are also necessary to progress through the game. Tingle must throw Rupees into the [[Western Pool]] near his house to cause a tower to grow which will allow him to access other areas of the game. Rupees can be found by defeating monsters, opening chests, or given as rewards for services to people. In the instances where Tingle is rewarded, he must choose the amount of Rupees he expects to receive from the person. If the amount he chooses is too high, the character will become outraged and give him nothing. Tingle must also choose how much he will pay people for information or services. There is no set price on any item, and Tingle must guess how much the other character will want for it. This is done with a sort of cash-register type of interface on the touch screen.


Not all rupees in the game have set values. They are generally the same, but some can vary slightly.

====Super Rupees and the Master Rupee====
==={{ZA|-}}===
During his quest to reach [[Rupeeland]], Tingle must obtain the five '''Super Rupees''' hidden throughout the three continents, and eventually the '''Master Rupee''' hidden in the [[Auros Ruins]]. The Super Rupees have no value, but are said to contain mystical powers. The five Super Rupees are the Metal Rupee, the Aqua Rupee, the Leaf Rupee, the Earth Rupee, and the Magma Rupee.
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{ZA}}, Rupees come in only two values, similarly to {{TLoZ|-}}. They are found only by defeating enemies. Unlike other games, Rupees are kept in the Item inventory. In order to make a purchase, Rupees must first be selected from the inventory.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote=If you wish to buy an Item, stand close to it so the price flashes. Select the rupee from your inventory screen. If you have enough rupees to purchase the Item, click Button One and it appears in your inventory.|game=ZA |page=5}}</ref> Rupees are mainly used to purchase [[Spells of Zelda's Adventure|Spells]], as they are valued for containing magical energy.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote=It is common knowledge in Tolemac that rupees contain magical energy, hence their value as currency.|game=ZA|page=5}}</ref> Similarly to certain items in {{TFoE|-}} and {{TWoG|-}}, Spells also require a certain amount of Rupees to use. If Zelda gives the Blacksmith in [[Great Wimbich]] a [[Coal]] to turn into a [[Diamond]], the Diamond will fill Zelda's capacity to the maximum of 999 Rupees.


===''Link's Crossbow Training''===
Although while Rupees are correctly referred to as such in the game manual, characters refer to them as "Rubies".<ref>{{Cite|I have a spell of Calm to sell, but it will cost you one hundred Rubies.|Lothar|ZA}}</ref>
[[File:Rupee LCT.png|right|50px]]
By breaking certain pots, skulls, and other destructible objects in {{LCT}}, an Orange Rupee will be released. These Rupees are initially worth 1000 points, but their point value will decrease the longer they stay on-screen. Link must shoot at them quickly to gain the highest amount of points.

In {{AST}}, Rupees retain the same values as in {{ALttP|-}}. They can be used to buy Potions and ammunition from shops, to play minigames, or to temporarily rent the Shovel or an upgraded Sword. Rupees can also be used to buy Bomb and Arrow upgrades from Thieves hidden inside each Dungeon. At the end of each week, a score is given, with each Rupee collected adding to the total after being multiplied by 10.


===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
Rupees can be easily found all around Hyrule. They can be obtained by defeating enemies, cutting bushes, digging with the Shovel, or found inside Treasure Chests hidden inside buildings, {{Plural|AST|Cave|link}}, and secret areas. Every Dungeon features several hidden rooms found behind bombable walls, with each one containing several Treasure Chests with Rupees of high value. Each week, a [[Mole (Character)|Mole]] can also be found around Hyrule at certain times. If found, it leads the [[Hero of Light]] to a secret treasure trove containing six Treasure Chests, with the number of Rupees inside them increasing for each successive week. Rupees can also be obtained by playing any of the minigames found in the Overworld.
A Green Rupee appears as a [[Sticker]] in {{SSBB}}.

In {{FPTRR}}, Rupees play an extensive and important role to the game and are featured heavily in the game's story. [[Tingle]] is instructed by [[Uncle Rupee]] to collect as many Rupees as possible and throw them into the [[Western Pool]] near his house to cause a tower to grow, allowing him entrance to the paradise [[Rupeeland]]. In-game, Rupees act as Tingle's health in addition to being used as currency. Nearly everything in the game requires Rupees, including talking to people. The tower that Tingle is instructed to build will also grant him entry to other areas of the game as he gradually makes his way to Rupeeland.


===''Sonic Lost World''===
Rupees can be found by defeating monsters, opening chests, or given as rewards for services to people. In the instances where Tingle is rewarded, he must choose the number of Rupees he expects to receive from the person. If the amount he chooses is too high, the character will become outraged and give him nothing. Tingle must also choose how much he will pay people for information or services. There is no set price on any Item, and Tingle must guess how much the other character will want for it. This is done with a sort of cash register type of interface on the touch screen.

Unlike other ''Zelda'' games, Rupees are automatically collected once they appear, making their physical appearance during gameplay cosmetic and an indicator of the amount earned.

===Rupee Capacities===
The following table lists how many {{Plural|Series|Rupee}} {{Term|Series|Link|link}} can hold at any given time. In some games, this capacity can be increased through {{Plural|Series|Wallet|link}} upgrades. Each game's most expensive item is also listed. Certain shops carry items that are unaffordable for {{Term|Series|Link}} even when carrying the maximum amount of {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}. Typically, a series of events leads these shops to lower their prices into a range that {{Term|Series|Link}} can afford.
 
{{Collapsible

; Smallest initial capacity
#{{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}} at 99 {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}
# {{TMC|-}} at 100 {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}


==Rupee Thieves==
; Smallest maximum capacity
Enemies that cause Link to lose Rupees appear in several games. When they come in contact with Link, they will either cause his Rupees to fly out of his Wallet and onto the ground (like Thieves and Keatons), or drain or steal the Rupees straight from his wallet (like Rupee Likes and Takkuri).
# {{TLoZ|-}} at 255 {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}
[[File:Likeeat.png|right]]
# {{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}} at 500 {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}
Known Rupee thieves:
*[[Rupee Like]]
*[[Thief|Thieves]] (Hylians and Foxes)
*[[Takkuri]]
*[[Rupee Wraith]]
*{{en|Keaton}}
*[[Rat]]s
*[[Pikit]]


===Rupee Draining Items===
; Largest maximum capacity
Most items in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series can be used either without cost or until a finite supply is exhausted. These few, however will deplete Link's Rupee supply upon use:
# {{FSAE|-}} at 9,999,999 {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}
*The [[Bow]] in ''The Legend of Zelda'', where firing an [[Arrow]] costs one Rupee.
# {{BotW|-}} at 999,999 {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}
*The [[Magic Armor]] in ''Twilight Princess'' rapidly depletes Rupees while equipped, while in {{TWWHD}}, Rupees are depleted everytime Link receives damage.


==Rewards==
; Most expensive items (unaffordable) {{Verify}} <!-- There's still some games missing from the data table -->
Link will be rewarded simply for collecting high number of Rupees in the following games:
# The {{Term|TPHD|Magic Armor}} in {{TPHD|-}}, priced at 400,000 {{Plural|TPHD|Rupee}}
*In ''Oracle of Ages'' and ''Oracle of Seasons'', [[Vasu]] will give Link the {{Sec|Magic Ring|Rupee Ring}} after collecting 10,000 Rupees.
*The Banker in ''Majora's Mask'' gives Link the Large Wallet after depositing 200 Rupees, a Blue Rupee after depositing 1,000 Rupees and a {{Sec|Heart Container|Piece of Heart}} after 5,000 have been deposited.
*''Four Swords'' rewards the Link with the most Rupees with a [[Medal of Courage]].


==Trivia==
; Most expensive purchases (affordable) {{Verify}} <!-- There's still some games missing from the data table -->
*The {{Wp|Rupee}} is the real-world currency of {{Wp|India}}, {{Wp|Sri Lanka}}, {{Wp|Nepal}}, {{Wp|Pakistan}}, {{Wp|Mauritius}}, the {{Wp|Seychelles}}, and {{Wp|Maldives}}, but they are paper notes as opposed to the gemstone appearance of the Zelda games. It was also formerly the currency of {{Wp|Burma}} and {{Wp|Afghanistan}}.
# The fourth and final {{Term|BotW|Fairy Fountain|link}} in {{BotW|-}}, costing 10,000 {{Plural|BotW|Rupee}} to unlock
*In the manual of ''The Legend of Zelda'', Rupees were named Rubies.{{fact}} This may be due to the fact that in the German versions of the ''Zelda'' games, a Rupee is called a Rubin, which means ''{{Wp|Ruby}}''.
# The {{Term|ALBW|Golden Bee|link}} in {{ALBW|-}} priced at 9,999 {{Plural|Series|Rupee}}{{List Note|type= roman|name= Golden Bee|As sold by the {{Term|ALBW|Item Seller|link}} in {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}}. The {{Term|ALBW|Golden Bee}} can be purchased from the {{Term|ALBW|Mysterious Man|link}} for 888 {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee}}.}}
*In ''A Link to the Past'', large formations of Rupees that are found in caves and dungeons directly on the ground and not in jars, skulls, or enemies, have a smaller hitbox than Rupees found from killing enemies and lifting jars and skulls. This is because those Rupees are not sprites, rather object layer tiles as the game cannot handle many sprites on screen. As seen in the [[Chris Houlihan Room]], Link can walk in between the Rupees even if they are very close to another. Also, Link cannot pick them up with items like the [[Hookshot]] and the [[Boomerang]] as they will simply go through them.<ref>{{cite web|quote=|author=|published=|retrieved=|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7i2AHjvPMg&feature=youtu.be&t=1m54s|title=5 Different Entrances to the Chris Houlihan Room|site=YouTube|type=}}</ref>
*In ''Majora's Mask'', the probability of finding a Red Rupee in grass is higher if Link has less than twenty Rupees in his Wallet.{{fact}}
*In ''The Wind Waker'' and {{OoT3D}}, Rupees are translucent. In all other games, Rupees are opaque.
*When using the [[Salvage Arm]] in ''Phantom Hourglass'', there may be a few valuable Rupees in bubbles. If the back arrow is pressed before reaching the Treasure Chest and Link chooses to salvage the same spot again, all the Rupee bubbles will be back.
*In ''{{Np|Animal Crossing: Wild World}}'', certain furniture will read "You found 10 Rupees! Too bad it's useless in this town." when opened.
*In ''{{Smw|Super Paper Mario}}'', {{Smw|Mario}} has to collect one million {{Smw|Rubee}}s, red crystals that are nearly identical to Rupees, to escape {{Smw|Merlee's Mansion}}. {{Smw|Mimi}} also uses Rubees as weapons when Mario fights her in {{Smw|Sammer's Kingdom}}.
**{{Smw|Flipside Token}}s from the same game also strongly resemble Rupees.


==Gallery==
In any given game, the most expensive item is most often a {{Term|Series|Piece of Heart}} of {{Term|Series|Heart Container}}.

{{Ref}}
The {{Term|MM3D|All-Night Mask|link}} is the only item which necessarily costs the maximum amount of {{Plural|MM3D|Rupee}} {{Term|MM3D|Link}} can carry. The {{Term|ALBW|Item Seller|link}} in {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}} charges the maximum amount for {{Plural|ALBW|Golden Bee}}, but they can also be bought from the {{Term|ALBW|Mysterious Man|link}} at a much lower price.

[[File:TMC Red Rupee Like Sprite 2.png|right]]
|ja3=  
In certain games of {{TLoZ|-}} series, there exist enemies that will steal or cause Link to lose Rupees when attacked. When Link comes in contact with one, they will either cause his Rupees to fly out of his Wallet and onto the ground, allowing Link to quickly pick them up again, or drain or steal his Rupees straight from his Wallet.

===Rewards===

Link will be rewarded simply for collecting a high number of Rupees in the following games:
|fr3=
* In {{OoA|-}} and {{OoS|-}}, [[Vasu]] will give Link the [[Rupee Ring]] after collecting a grand total of 10,000 Rupees.
|fr4=
* The [[Banker]] in {{MM|-}} gives Link the Large Wallet after depositing 200 Rupees, a Blue Rupee after depositing 1,000 Rupees and a Piece of Heart after 5,000 have been deposited.
|fr5=
* {{FS|-}} rewards the Link with the most Rupees a Medal of Courage. In {{FSAE|-}}, collecting a grand total of 30,000 Rupees or five Medals of Courage unlocks the Hero's Trial.

*According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], {{Plural|Series|Rupee}} are based on {{Wp|Ruby|ruby gems}} rather than the actual Indian {{Wp|Rupee}}.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= '''By the way, does the name of the currency come from the Indian rupee?'''<br/>Miyamoto: I didn't really have India in mind when I named it.

*The {{Term|TLoZ|Yellow Rupee}} sprites in {{TLoZ|-}} first appear as Gold Bars in the 1985 [[Nintendo]] game ''{{Wp|Clu Clu Land}}''.
|de4=  
*The large formations of {{Plural|ALttP|Blue Rupee}} found in hidden {{Plural|ALttP|Cave|link}} and rooms in {{ALttP|-}} have a smaller hitbox than Rupees found from killing enemies and lifting {{Plural|ALttP|Jar|link}} or {{Plural|ALttP|Skull|link}}. This is because these {{Plural|ALttP|Rupee}} are not sprites, but rather object layer tiles as the game cannot handle many sprites on screen. As a result, {{Term|ALttP|Link}} cannot pick these {{Plural|ALttP|Rupee}} up with Items like the {{Term|ALttP|Hookshot|link}} or the {{Term|ALttP|Boomerang|link}}, as they will simply go right through them. {{Term|ALttP|Link}} can even walk in between the {{Plural|ALttP|Rupee}} even if they are very close to another.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |author= MaddHatts|published= February 15, 2010|retrieved= |url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7i2AHjvPMg&t=1m54s|title= 5 Different Entrances to the Chris Houlihan Room|site= YouTube|type= Video}}</ref> {{Plural|LADX|Green Rupee}} found in the {{Term|LADX|Color Dungeon|link}} of {{LA|DX|-}} behave similarly.

|it1= Rupia
==Nomenclature==
|it2=  
Rupee is likely derived from or a corruption of {{Wp|Ruby|ruby}}, a valuable gemstone. As a result, Rupees were frequently misnamed early in the series, such as the name "Rupy" in the original {{TLoZ|-}}. In the German versions of the ''Zelda'' games, a Rupee is called a Rubin, which is German for ruby.
