==Locations and Uses==
Rupees are found almost anywhere. Most commonly found when [[Link]] breaks [[jars]], cutting [[grass]], or killing [[enemies]], Rupees are used in almost every [[Zelda]] game, except a few games where they aren't.
Rupees can be found virtually anywhere. They are most commonly found in treasure chests and by breaking pots, cutting grass, or defeating enemies. They are sometimes given by people for helping them out. They can be used to buy items, foods and other goods in shops and other places.


===Jars===
Due to their use by [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]] in some of the games (like ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''), it is assumed that Rupees may have magical properties aside from their monetary use, though these are seldom explored in said games.
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 Jar]]s, [[Recovery Heart]]s, [[Bomb]]s, or [[Arrow]]s. It is often completely random of what appears and does not appear with a few exceptions. Example: In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the [[Ghost Shop]] has a jar that only drops a Red Rupee.


===Grass===
==Values==
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.
With the exceptions of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Rupees appear in every ''Zelda'' game to date. Rupees' values are generally denoted by their color, but also can vary by size as well.
 
===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.
 
==Games==
 
Rupees are found in every game ([[The Legend of Zelda]], [[Link's Awakening,]] [[Ocarina of Time]], [[Majora's Mask]], [[Twilight Princess]], etc.) except for some games - [[Four Swords Adventure]] and [[Adventure of Link]].


==Values==
{| class=wikitable
Rupees have many different values, depending on the game. Usually, Green Rupees are worth one, Blue Rupees are worth five, Red Rupees are worth twenty, Purple Rupees are worth fifty, Silver Rupees are worth one hundred, and Gold/Yellow Rupees are worth two hundred, but there are some exceptions like in [[Twilight Princess]], where Gold/Yellow Rupees are worth ten. In [[Twilight Princess]], there is also an additional Rupee - Orange. It is worth one hundred. In some games, there are [[Rupee Shards]] to collect. Worthless on their own, four [[Rupee Shards]] make one Rupee.
