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 beside the [[Lake Hylia Shop]], 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 remake in {{ALttP&FS}}, [[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.
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.

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.

Rupees in the ''Oracle'' games are mainly used to purchase Items, such as from the [[Lynna City 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.

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 [[Links]] are each scored on the number of Rupees they have collected each. The Link 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.

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.


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 Links are at full health, the stage goes into '''Rupee Fever''', where the value of Rupees are doubled for as long as the Links maintain their full health. When the 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 Link manages to collect all four, he is rewarded with a total of 500 Rupees.

However, it is also possible to lose Rupees, as well. Being attacked by an enemy will result in a Link dropping a few of his Rupees. Dropped Rupees will shortly disappear if they are not picked up in time. It is possible for one Link 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 Link. A new type of Rupee, called [[Rupoor]]s, may also sometimes appear, which picking up will cause the Link to drop up to 80 of his Rupees. Lastly, Rupees are also lost when one of the 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 Link falls. The maximum cost of a revival is 500 Rupees. If a Link is defeated and he does not have enough Rupees to revive, the game ends.

{{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 [[Light Ring]]s form, which will produce a Treasure Chest containing any amount of Rupees, usually 50. Some Light Rings will only appear once Link has obtained its appropriate [[Treasure Chart]], which may reward in 100 or 200 Rupees. Link can also earn Rupees by participating in the [[Letter Sorting]] mini-game in the [[Dragon Roost Cavern]], where he will be paid 20 Rupees each time he completes one round.

Rupees are used extensively in {{TWW|-}} to purchase a variety of goods from various Shops, as well as participate in mini-games. 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 Light Rings 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.

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}}...

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 [[Adventure Pouch]], 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.

The Rupee system in {{ALBW}} is similar to the one in {{SS|-}}, but with the absence of Rupoors and the inclusion of Purple Rupees. They are used as the currency of both Hyrule and Lorule. The game notably features the lack of a Wallet upgrade and allows Link to carry up to a maximum of 9,999 Rupees. This feature facilitates the rental of equipment from [[Ravio's Shop]], where Rupees are used most extensively in the game. Link may rent [[Ravio]]'s equipment at a cheap cost for an indefinite period or may purchase the equipment to own at a higher price. If Link falls in battle while renting any Items, Ravio's bird [[Sheerow]] will appear to take the Item back to his Shop, forcing Link to return to rent the Item again.

In Death Mountain, [[Rupee Boulder]]s containing chunks of Green Rupees can be found. These Boulders can be smashed with the [[Hammer]] to make the Green Rupees fly out. Similarly, when the [[Gemesaur King]]'s mask is smashed with the Hammer, some Rupees will fall out as well. In homage to the Moblins of {{TLoZ|-}}, there is also a friendly [[Hinox (Character)|Hinox]] found in a {{Term|ALBW|Cave|link}} in eastern Lorule who will bribe Link Rupees to leave him alone. Link can demand more Rupees from him before accepting his price, although asking for too much may cause the Hinox to become enraged and attack.

Aside from Ravio's Shop, Rupees are also used to purchase Items from Shops and participate in mini-games. The [[Fortune's Choice]] mini-game, similar to the Treasure Chest Game in {{ALttP|-}}, allows Link to choose from a selection of chests for a chance to win Rupees.

This total will be displayed following the game's ending and credits roll.

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.
{{Plural|TotK|Rupee}} appear in {{TotK}}. Low-value {{Plural|TotK|Rupee}} can occasionally be found underneath {{Plural|TotK|Rock|link}} and {{Plural|TotK|Stone|link}}, while higher-value {{Plural|TotK|Rupee}} are commonly found in {{Plural|TotK|Treasure Chest|link}}. Characters throughout the world may also repay {{Term|TotK|Link|link}}'s good deeds with a moderate amount of {{Plural|TotK|Rupee}}.


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.
{{Plural|TotK|Treasure Octorok|link}} and {{Plural|TotK|Yiga Footsoldier|link}} may drop {{Plural|TotK|Rupee}} upon defeat, and {{Plural|TotK|Blupee|link}} will drop them when hit.

==Other Appearances==
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.
==={{TFoE|-}}===
 
{{Noncanon|Start}}
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.
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.


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 also 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.


==={{LCT|-}}===
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:LCT Orange Rupee Model.png|right|50px]]
In {{LCT}}, Rupees increase Link's overall score during a level. By breaking certain Pots, Skulls, and other destructible objects, an Orange Rupee will be released. These Rupees are initially worth 1,000 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.

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?

==={{AST|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
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.
 
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.

{{Noncanon|Start}}
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.


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>
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.


Not all Rupees in the game have set values. They are generally the same, but some can vary slightly.{{Clarify|FPTRR|reason= Vary by how much exactly?}}

===Rupee Capacities===
| 20
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.

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

==Nomenclature==
==Nomenclature==
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.
