Rupees are the unit of currency within most of The Legend of Zelda universe. It is used in: Hyrule, Koholint Island, Termina, Labrynna, Holodrum, the Great Sea, the World of the Ocean King, New Hyrule, and Skyloft.

Locations and Uses

Rupees can be found virtually anywhere. The most common ways Link can find Rupees is by breaking jars, cutting grass, and/or defeating various enemies.

Due to their use by Great Fairies in some of the games (like Breath of the Wild), it's assumed that Rupees may have magical properties aside from their monetary use, though these are seldom explored in said games.

Jars

After breaking a jar, something usually pops out of it. The most common item that appears is a Rupee. Other items that can be collected include Magic Jars, Recovery Hearts, Bombs, or Arrows. It is often completely random of what appears and does not appear with a few exceptions. Example: In Ocarina of Time, the Ghost Shop has a jar that only drops a Red Rupee.

Grass

Cutting grass usually results in an item to appear. Rupees are the most common item to appear after cutting grass. Magic Jars, Recovery Hearts, bombs, and arrows can also be collected through this process.

Enemies

Upon defeating an enemy, they occasionally drop an item. This item could be almost anything. Rupees, Magic Jars, Recovery Hearts, and even treasure are some of the most common items.

Values

With the exceptions of The Adventure of Link and Four Swords Adventures, Rupees appear in every The Legend of Zelda game to date. Rupees' values are generally denoted by their color, but also can vary by size as well.
