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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', where [[Force Gem]]s appear instead, and in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', where Rupees do not make an appearance at all. | Rupees are acquired by defeating enemies, by cutting tall grasses or bushes, won in mini-games, given as rewards, and by opening treasure chests.

Most titles have quirky ways of obtaining Rupees, such as attacking Mario paintings in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|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. | Most titles have quirky ways of obtaining Rupees, such as attacking Mario paintings in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' or smashing Link into a tree.
