 ===Overall===
-The Rupee is the main currency used in [[Hyrule]], [[Termina]], [[Labrynna]], [[Holodrum]] and [[Koholint Island]]. As a matter of fact Rupees appear in every Zelda game with the exception of AoL and FSA. The latter of the two has [[Force Gem|Force Gems]] instead, which have almost exactly the same properties although they are used to boost the power of the [[Four Sword]]. Rupees come in many different varieties and therefore the table below shows what types of Rupee each game uses. This table excludes the Yellow [[Rupee Shard]] and the [[Black Rupee]], because these two types have different purposes rather than raising your money funds.

If you manage to collect a total of 10,000 Rupees in either OoA or OoS Vasu will give you the [[Rupee Ring]]. Another Rupee connected Ring is the [[Gold Joy Ring]], equipping this will increase the probability you will find a random Rupee, when you cut a bush or kill an enemy. Last method of finding many rupees is excavating every square of the screen with the Shovel. You have a very small chance of finding a Big Blue Rupee earning you 100 Rupees in one go.

The Big Red Rupee however is a very uncommon rupee only to be found in 3 or 4 locations in both Oracle games, possibly in the [[Hero's Grave]].
 In the OoS there is also a Subterranean world called: [[Subrosia]]. The people around here use [[Ore Chunks]] as the standard currency, unfortunately it is not possible to exchange Ore for Rupees and vice versa, so Link has to collect the Ore Chunks seperately if he needs something from the tribe of the [[Subrosian|Subrosians]]

 [[Link]] can find only two types of Rupee in this game. First we have the Yellow Rupee, that is worth 1 Rupee and second there is the Blue Rupee worth 5 Rupees. Yellow ones (they look like they're orange) are found in various places and are commonly dropped by enemies, whereas the rarer Blue Rupee is a harder to find.
