Overview[]
Rupees are the standard unit of currency of Mudora, within circulation in the lands of Hyrule, Holodrum, Labrynna, Luzmala, Pacci, Skyloft, and even the islands of the Great Sea.
Part of the reason that Rupees have prevailed as the successful standard unit of currency throughout Mudora is that they have so many different sub-units to distinguish a myriad of varying values. Another factor to their success is their crystalline form makes them nigh impossible to counterfeit, alchemically or otherwise.
The value of a Rupee is denoted by its color, and occasionally its size, although most Rupees come in a standard size. Generally, the greater the value, the harder they are to obtain, usually requiring more difficult tasks. The Wallet’s capacity ultimately determines how many rupees one may receive even when finding Huge Rupees. The following lists Rupees by their values.
Glass Rupees are not truly made of glass at all, and are used as the enchanted keys to doors within certain temples.
