'''Rupees''' are the unit of currency within most of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' universe]], within circulation in the lands of [[Hyrule]], [[Koholint Island]], [[Termina]], [[Labrynna]], [[Holodrum]], the [[Great Sea]], the [[World of the Ocean King]], and [[Skyloft]].
'''Rupees''' are the main unit of currency in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''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==
==Locations and Uses==
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 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.


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.
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.


==Values==
==Values==
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 are included in all [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' games]]. The value of a rupee is usually determined by it's color, but the value of each color is inconsistent throughout the games. It should be noted, though, that in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the majority of the rupees that can be found are only worth one due to the Game Boy's graphical limitations.
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.
