Rupees are the unit of currency within most of the Zelda universe, within circulation in the lands of Hyrule, Koholint Island, Termina, Labrynna, Holodrum, the Great Sea, the World of the Ocean King, and Skyloft.

Locations and Uses

Rupees are acquired by defeating enemies, by cutting tall grasses or bushes, won in mini-games, given as rewards, and by opening treasure chests. Rupees are used primarily to purchase items in shops or to gain entrance to some mini-games. They have appeared in almost every Zelda game to date, with the exception of Four Swords Adventures, where Force Gems appear instead, in Subrosia where ore chunks are the currency, and in The Adventure of Link, where Rupees do not make an appearance at all.

Most titles have quirky ways of obtaining Rupees, such as attacking Mario paintings in A Link to the Past or smashing Link into a tree. Many games even allow Link to sell some of the items he has picked up during the adventure, allowing him to obtain more Rupees.

Values

With the exceptions of The Adventure of Link and Four Swords Adventures, rupees are included in all The Legend of Zelda games. The value of a rupee is usually determined by it's color, but the value of each color is inconsistent throughout the games. It should be noted, though, that in Link's Awakening, the majority of the rupees that can be found are only worth one due to the Game Boy's graphical limitations.

Trivia

  • Rupees are the currency in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Maldives.
