===''The Wand of Gamelon''===
Identically to ''The Faces of Evil'', Rupees are also referred to as Rubies in {{TWoG}},<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=The merchant sells a pack of three bombs for 20 rubies.|game=TWoG|page=3}}</ref> where they are used as the currency of [[Gamelon]]. They have the same value as in ''The Faces of Evil'', and can only be found by defeating enemies. As well as being used to buy a selection of items from the [[Merchant]]'s general store in [[Sakado]], they are also used by certain items to function. Zelda can carry up to 999 Rubies.  


In {{ZA}}, Rupees come in only two values, similar to ''The Legend of Zelda''. 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 ''The Faces of Evil'' and ''The Wand of Gamelon'', 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. 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>
