| - Jacob and Tom pronounce this as ROO-pee as opposed to ru-PEE. Damn. Dan believes these to sound exactly the same.
- Rupee is a common name used for the standard unit of currencies in the Indies, and formerly in the Middle East. The name derived from the Rupiya of the Sur Empire of Northern India. The name Rupiya it's self comes from the sanskrit term rūpya, meaning silver coin, which in turn comes from the word rūpá, which is written in a beautiful form.
- According to Hyrule's biggest stock exchange (Mayor Kravindish's bookkeeping), the current exchange rate to the US-dollar is 1 USD = 2.93 * 1017 miltrupees. In other words, you get 293 trillion chips (comparable with the cent) for just one US penny. Because this means massive transportation problems at using rupees, Hyrule's inhabitants now pay mainly with check cards. Unfortunately, King Harkinian prohibited the using of exponents for some reason, therefore the ink prices in Hyrule are distinctly higher than in other parts of the world.
- Rupees (ルピー Rupī?) are the main unit of currency in the Legend of Zelda series and are obtained primarily by defeating enemies, by cutting tall grass or bushes, or from Treasure Chests. They are most often used to purchase items from shops, but are also used for admission to certain mini-games.
- When you find a rupee, the game will make a really annoying sound. If you get it from hitting an enemy or from the tall grass, it will make something like "Da-ding!" which happens to be identical to he sound a real rupee makes if you throw it at Tiffany glass. If you get it from a chest, it goes "Daaaa, daaaa, daaa, da da da daaaaaa!" which also happens to be the sound a real person makes if they have severe mental problems.
- 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. Image:Rupees.png

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. Image:Rupees.png
