The rupee has definitely suffered from inflation over the years. In the first game, the most expensive item you could buy was 250 rupees (which is why the developers probably felt safe using a one-byte variable for your rupee count that capped it at 255), but there would later be individual rupees worth more than that. In Tears of the Kingdom, the Flamebreaker Helm costs 1400 rupees by itself.

Not only on the game, but sometimes, where and when in the game you buy them. For example, Twilight Princess. For anything you can buy in a shop, including if that "shop" only sells one item, like the Zora who sells Water Bombs outside Lakebed Temple, the cost per unit is always the same -- that is, you might only be able to buy arrows in 10s here and 20s there, but the cost per arrow is the same -- with three exceptions. (I'm also counting Trill's shop as having the standard prices, it's just that you have the option to pay less than the suggested price, or just walk away without paying with much less severe consequences as in Link's Awakening.) First, that posh shop in Castle Town, where you cannot buy even the least expensive item even if you were allowed in with a full wallet. (You need to pay for your shoes to be shined, or they won't let you in.) Second, the shop -- counting the three Gorons within as one shop -- across the south road from it, where they employ "regional pricing" to justify a markup on the standard price of items sold within, albeit one you can actually still afford. Third, the shop at the same location as the posh shop after you help Malo buy it; now, prices are at a significant markDOWN, and you don't need your shoes shined to come in. Another example, the Wind Waker. The Bombs on Windfall Island are too expensive for you when you first get there (not that you have a place to put them), but after a story event, they become affordable.

I can say in BotW and TotK, depending on the vendors you buy them from, arrows and some other items are worth different prices at varying locations, like Gerudo Town, Zora’s Domain, Tarrey Town, etc. And then traveling merchants on roads offer a discount when it’s raining; I think it’s like 50%.

Another correction about the orange rupees from OoT and MM: They're not orange. Those are just what gold rupees looked like as drops with the graphical limitations of the system. If you'll notice, all of your footage of gold rupees from OoT are from chests while the orange rupees in MM are actual drops from enemies. The 3DS upgrades didn't change them; they just corrected the drop version to be consistent with the in-chest versions. There is no such thing as an orange rupee in either of those games.
@luminousfaedust
Жыл бұрын
Plus! If you run a randomizer, and have the takkuri drop randomized, the takkuri drop upscales the item to match. The big orange rupee isn't actuall big, and if you find it somewhere else in the word it's about the same size as the rupee trio. But the randomizer does keep in it looking orange when you find it if it's not the takkuri drop. A giant skultulla or giant stray fairy but in like, their jar form and not their fairy form, is kinda funny looking. Same with a giant note for a song.

I second the comment about making a follow up with prices for things like arrows. Maybe track to see if they go up or down? See if the values inflate much? You could also include stuff like the maximum wallet size potentially, and and see how it correlates with the frequency of rupee drops and prices of items If you want to go beyond this rupee idea, maybe explore things like hearts and enemy damage? See how much damage early enemies do in games? Or maybe the final boss, and match it up to the max hearts to see which bosses do the most damage as a percentage of your health?

My head cannon is that Rupees each have an amount of energy to them, the amount of energy being treated as it's value. The Wallets would convert Rupees into the pure energy allowing for lots to be carried without weighing a bunch. Then when you go take Rupees out the magic of the wallets would reform the Rupees from the energy within. This also explains how you can pick up a red (20) then spend 5 rupees since the wallet would dissolve the 20 then later form a 5. Great Fairies and the Magic Armour are capable of actually using the energy of the rupees.

I think the gold rupee and the orange rupee from OoT might be intended to be the same rupee. Unlike all of the other rupees that are referred to by their color when obtained out of a chest, the gold rupee is called a "huge rupee" instead; meanwhile, the orange rupee that drops from skull kids, worth the same amount, is notably much bigger than most other rupee types. This does throw a wrench in the color-based graph, though, since this rupee isn't defined by any one color, but JUST by a size. There's no other game with a "huge rupee," just "big [color] rupees."

@MegaZeta Probably what threw him off is that the Oracles devs obviously had a different system between rupees that appear in the field versus rupees that appear in chests. I think it's intuitive that a small red rupee would be worth pretty low if it's in a chest (10) due to the extra work to get to that chest compared to killing an enemy and them dropping a normal red. I admit they probably should have used blue for the field 5-rupees... and then those rupee rooms are just way more fun with the random values than if they were all worth the same imo. The blue chest rupees being different is pretty funny, but it's down to limited sprites and if a normal player would really care about consistency when you're opening an auxiliary reward.

I was curious so I decided to figure out the average value of each color which are as follows (all ordered for your viewing pleasure): Green: 2.71 Blue: 7.42 Yellow: 7.75 Red: 21.32 Big green: 66.67 Silver: 109.55 Orange: 133.34 Gold: 275 Big gold: 366.67 And here's the same list but with all the one with only a single value added: Small green: 1 Green: 2.71 Small Blue: 5 Blue: 7.42 Yellow: 7.75 Small Red: 10 Red: 21.32 Purple: 50 Big green: 66.67 Big blue: 100 Silver: 109.55 Orange: 133.34 Big red: 200 Gold: 275 Big gold: 366.67 And of course the negatives: Black: -33.34 Big black: -50

How a perfect Zelda game would have all the Rupee’s: Green= 1 Blue= 5 Yellow= 10 Red= 20 Purple & B.Green= 50 Orange & B.Blue= 100 B.Yellow= 150 Silver & B.Red= 200 B.Purple (New)= 250 Gold= 300 B.Silver (New)= 400 B. Orange (New)= 450 B.Gold= 500 Rupoor= -10 B.Rupoor= -100 This type of setup may need some workshopping but I thing this would be a FANTASTIC way to bring the Big Rupees back, as well as all the forgotten colours

They only exist in certain dungeons in seasons in specific. Ages does not have them at all. You are given a hint at the first one for free in Snake's remains given they point a literal arrow made out of blocks at where to bomb the wall but for the rest you just need to try your sword against a wall and see where it sounds different and the clink effect sprite looks different.

The concept of the "rupoor" always made me chuckle You're telling me that there's an object in this world that is worth a negative amount of money? You're telling me that, by picking this thing up, my assets become less valuable? My guy, Link, just put the rupoor back in the box! (I know it's an abstraction or magical or something but it just reminds me of the $-12 bill from Gravity Falls. "It's *less* than worthless, my boy!")

Bit of a correction: the orange rupee from MM is the golden rupee. They just messes up the color of the overworld model. When you pick it uo from a chest its the correct golden color. And in OOT, there are rare instances of seeing the golden rupee in the overworld and it also has that ugly shade of orange

The red rupee is probably my favourite. They're just rare enough to evoke delight when they appear, but also common enough, and with enough value, that they're reliable. The red rupee is always welcome.

Honestly, they should bring back the yellow rupee at 10 and the orange at 200, along with the -10 rupoor, so we can finally have the complete rupee selection. What? Big Rupees? Never heard of them.

Yeah, but keep in mind that the Oracles games take place in places outside Hyrule so... their economy is probably different even though they use the same term 'rupee.' Like how Canada and America both use 'dollars' but at different values.

I think you misinterpreted the green rupie with the text under it. You arent finding some boring thing with an arbitrary value, you are finding a giant stack of that number of single rupies. Its like the a stack of 1 dollar bills. Do you want a single one hundred dollar bill, or do you want a phat stack of 100 dollar bills?

Some speculation -- You mentioned out that the 2d games had consistent use of large red while 3d used gold, and I'm fairly certain that this was done for the sake of contrast. Pixel art and small resolutions with static backgrounds would make it quite hard to see lighter colors against a dirt/sand colored ground. This is almost certainly why they used flashing yellow and blue for the 1 rupee in NES LoZ. They also likely went with blue/yellow in that game due to limitations on color palette and reserving certain other colors for enemies or other sprites, hence choosing yellow in the first place. Still, i havent looked over the LoZ sprites in a good while so i could be mistaken! Edit to add: also you'll notice that no big rupees appear in any 3d zelda games -- again, this is a limitation of the medium! In a 3d environment, you'd struggle to tell the difference between large and small, but changing perspective lets similar colors contrast well. On the flip side, in 2d you can easily recognize large vs small, but static perspective makes similar colors harder to notice! (Well Majora's Mask uses big orange, but there's no small orange to conflate it with, so there's no issue with large vs small)

I think the Orange Rupee should come back as the 10. Yellow is a bit too similar to Gold if we don't want to do the size thing anymore.

You didn't account for inflation though. The way I see it, the green rupee mines must have decreased its production, thus the shortage made the value of the rupees to shift.

I really like the idea for this video. I don't know if data analysis is something you want to continue doing for content, but I would love to see statistics and changes for items across a series. Like healing items in pokemon, frequencies of power ups given in mario games per world, and back to Zelda with how many key items show up between games. Although I think the key item one was done by someone else a while ago. But definitely not with your fun stats and graphs.

How did you differentiate between yellow and gold rupees? Did you use the in game data to make a decision? They seem like they could be interchangeable (aside from the value)
