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.

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>

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.

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.

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'''.

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.
