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'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 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===
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 [[Spirit Tracks Treasure|treasure]] are some of the most common items.

Rupees are the main unit of currency in The Legend of Zelda universe. They are used in Hyrule, Koholint Island, Termina, Labrynna, Holodrum, the Great Sea, the World of the Ocean King, New Hyrule, Skyloft, Lorule, and Hytopia.

Locations and Uses

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.

Due to their use by Great Fairies in some of the games (like 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.

Values

With the exceptions of The Adventure of Link and 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.
