Rupees can be found virtually anywhere. They are most commonly found in [[Treasure Chest|treasure chests]] and by breaking [[pot]]s, 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 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. Despite their monetary use, Rupees are not minted coins, but rather, gems.

==Trivia==
===Non-Canon Values===
*Rupees are the currency in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Maldives.
In ''[[Link: The Faces of Evil]]'', ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]'', and ''[[Zelda's Adventure]]'', Rupees are often referred to as "Rubies" instead.
*In the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', 'Rupee' was spelled ''Rupy'' and ''Rupies'' for plural.{{Ref|LoZ|10|N/A}}{{Ref|LoZ|11|N/A}}
{| class=wikitable
*It has been mentioned by fans that in some of the game installments, due to their vague economic and monetary definition, and mainly their magical inflation (as they literally sprout out of the ground), Rupees are not a sustainable form of currency.
