Rupee: Difference between revisions

The Rupee system in {{ALBW}} is similar to the one in {{SS|-}}, but with the absence of Rupoors and the inclusion of Purple Rupees. They are used as the currency of both Hyrule and Lorule. The game notably features the lack of a Wallet upgrade and allows Link to carry up to a maximum of 9,999 Rupees. This feature facilitates the rental of equipment from [[Ravio's Shop]], where Rupees are used most extensively in the game. Link may rent [[Ravio]]'s equipment at a cheap cost for an indefinite period or may purchase the equipment to own at a higher price. If Link falls in battle while renting any Items, Ravio's bird [[Sheerow]] will appear to take the Item back to his Shop, forcing Link to return to rent the Item again.

In Death Mountain, [[Rupee Boulder]]s containing chunks of Green Rupees can be found. These Boulders can be smashed with the [[Hammer]] to make the Green Rupees fly out. Similarly, when the [[Gemesaur King]]'s mask is smashed with the Hammer, some Rupees will fall out as well. In homage to the Moblins of {{TLoZ|-}}, there is also a friendly [[Hinox (Character)|Hinox]] found in a {{Term|ALBW|Cave|link}} in eastern Lorule who will bribe Link Rupees to leave him alone. Link can demand more Rupees from him before accepting his price, although asking for too much may cause the Hinox to become enraged and attack.

Aside from Ravio's Shop, Rupees are also used to purchase Items from Shops and participate in mini-games. The [[Fortune's Choice]] mini-game, similar to the Treasure Chest Game in {{ALttP|-}}, allows Link to choose from a selection of chests for a chance to win Rupees.
