| − | ==Location and Uses== |
||
| − | Rupees are acquired by defeating enemies, by cutting tall grasses or bushes, won in mini-games, given as rewards, by opening treasure chests, and by throwing boulders. Rupees are used primarily to purchase items in shops or to gain entrance to some mini-games. They have appeared in almost every ''Zelda'' game to date, with the exception of ''[[Four Swords Adventures]]'', where [[Force Gem]]s appear instead, and in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', where Rupees and the like do not make an appearance at all. |
||
| + | ==Hyrulean Adventure== |
||
| − | Most titles have quirky ways of obtaining Rupees, such as attacking {{smw|Mario}} paintings in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' or smashing Link into a [[tree]]. Many games even allow Link to sell some of the items he has picked up during the adventure, allowing him to obtain more Rupees. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', Link can obtain Rupees by shooting at Rupee Ore found along the walls of [[Tubert]]'s cave.<ref>{{Cite|You see the shining stone sticking out of the wall? That's pure Rupee Ore! It's also why there are so many Rupees to dig up here. If you sling something at it, it'll pop right out. Go on and give it a try!|Tubert|SS}}</ref> The amount of Rupees corresponds to the color of the Rupee Ore that was shot. Link can also obtain Rupees by drawing a hexagon shape on a [[Goddess Wall]].<ref>{{Cite|Glimmering Hexagon... Ye who seeks great riches, draw this shape so that it may be known.|Gorko|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Apparently, if you draw a symbol of money on certain walls, you can make an easy fortune.|Gossip Stone|SS}}</ref> |
||
| + | [[File:FSA - Dark Link.png|left|54px]] |
||
| + | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Shadow Link is featured as both a main character and a recurring enemy and boss. There are many Shadow Links; the Dark Mirror can create an endless supply, but they all work together as one. He first appears early in the game in the [[Four Sword Sanctuary]] and tricks Link into drawing the Four Sword, releasing the ancient Wind Mage [[Vaati]] and splitting Link into four Links. He and his copies then plague Hyrule by terrorizing its citizens, some of whom blame the Links for his misdeeds. Shadow Links usually show up repeatedly in each stage, often causing mischief using a certain item, such as setting fires with the [[Fire Rod]] or charging at the [[Links]] with the [[Pegasus Boots]], or sometimes simply just taunting Link by avoiding his blade. Whoever manages to defeat him can receive a large green [[Force Gem]], but often they will flee to the [[Dark World]]. |
||
| + | Shadow Link also sometimes appears and summons a [[Big Bomb]]. When this bomb explodes, all Links on screen will be instantly defeated. He will summon and endless supply of Big Bombs until the Links can escape. |

||
| − | With the exception of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Rupees are included in all [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' titles]]. The value of a Rupee is denoted by its color, but the value of each color is inconsistent throughout the games. Generally, the greater the value, the harder they are to obtain, usually requiring more difficult tasks. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', both size and color denote value. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' specify the Rupee value through text rather than color, because the Game Boy palette was limited; however, in the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' games]], Link could find a larger rupee by digging with his shovel. The [[Wallet|Wallet’s]] capacity ultimately determines how many rupees one may receive even when finding Huge Rupees. |

||
| + | He appears as the main boss for the [[Cave of No Return]], [[Village of the Blue Maiden]], [[Desert Temple]] and [[The Dark Cloud]] stages - where, during each battle except for the Dark Cloud stage, he would eventually take on a color, and only the corresponding Link could damage him. During these battles he usually travels back and forth from the Dark World and attacks Link with his copy of the Four Sword. Shadow Link and his kin are finally defeated in The Dark Cloud stage when, while the Links engage them in combat, [[Princess Zelda]] undoes the seal on the Dark Mirror and takes it into her possession, dispelling them. He also appears as a middle boss on other stages. |

While appearing identical to the four Links of the normal game, they appear in the same manner as Shadow Link and have his voice at the start of battle. During these battles, Shadow Link has the exact same abilities as Link normally would. |

||
| + | [[File:ShadowLinkManga.png|thumb|left|Shadow Link from the ''Four Swords'' manga]][[File:ShadowLinkMangacolors.png|thumb|right|Shadow Link with [[Vaati]] behind him from the ''Four Swords'' manga]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (Manga)|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'' manga, Shadow Link was drawn from the [[Dark Mirror]] by [[Ganon]] to act out his wishes. Shadow Link is a twisted version of Link, born from his own shadow, and is a cruel, malevolent and calculating character. He first appears after causing the [[Shrine Maidens]] to vanish, and proclaims himself to be "the hero, Link". Completely avoiding Link's attack, he immediately kidnaps Zelda and sends Link to the [[Four Sword Sanctuary]], from which he observes as Link awakens [[Vaati]]. His next move is to lead Vaati's troops to attack [[Hyrule Castle]] and send all the [[Knights of Hyrule]] to the [[Dark World]]. There, he confronts the four [[Links]], revealing himself to be much stronger than they are with their tainted blades, and striking them down with [[Sword Beam]]s. They are saved by the Blue Maiden, who releases a [[Fairy]] to shine light upon him, stunning him long enough for them to escape. |
||
| + | Shadow Link continues to plot, hidden away from the light. As he cannot go out in daylight, he works with Vaati's minions to thwart the progress of the four Links. Using dark magic, he manages to split the four Links apart by sending them to four different lands of Hyrule, thus weakening the strength of the [[Four Sword]]. Then, confronting Vio, he attempts to coerce him into joining the side of darkness by appealing to his intelligence. Working with Vio, he traps Red and Blue in the [[Temple of Darkness]], and allows Vio to be placed in charge of the [[Tower of Flames]] on [[Death Mountain]]. Vio even appears to kill Green in battle, totally convincing Shadow Link that he has turned to the side of evil. |
||
| − | *[[File:Green Rupee ALttP.png]] 1 Rupee |

| − | *[[File:Blue Rupee ALttP.png]] 5 Rupees |

||
| + | However, Vio is simply putting on a show to gain his trust. Once inside, he learns about Ganon and his potential weakness, and the existence of the Dark Mirror, the source of darkness from which Shadow Link was originally summoned. He also learns that Shadow Link does not desire to follow Ganon, and in fact wishes to rule over Hyrule alongside Vio. Shadow Link simply hates humans and the world for spurning him as "just a shadow". However, after Vio is foiled in an attempt to shatter the mirror, Shadow Link discovers his betrayal and attempts to execute him in by dropping him into the lava of Death Mountain. Saved at the last minute by the three other Links, they confront Shadow Link, and with their new-found strength, destroy him with a combined Sword Beam attack. |
||
| − | ===''Link's Awakening''=== |
||
| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', all Rupees that are found from cutting grass or digging are worth one Rupee, most likely because of the color graphic limitations on the [[Game Boy]]. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'', all Rupees are colored blue, except for two red Rupees in the [[Trendy Game]] Shop in [[Mabe Village]], which are both worth 30. Green Rupees, worth 5 Rupees, make an appearance in one hidden room of the [[Color Dungeon]]. |
||
| + | Shadow Link is not killed, however, and is pulled by Ganon from the mirror again, dripping and shivering as he tries to resist entering the light. Seeing him in this state, [[Princess Zelda]] takes pity upon him. He attempts to spurn her but is momentarily moved by her words as she states that he should not fear the light, as he too is a hero. Driven by a desire to save her from the Dark Cloud, he disguises himself as Vio and aids the three other Links in their battle against [[Vaati]]. Realizing that the demon cannot be killed by the Four Sword alone however, he returns to the Dark Mirror, and in an act of self sacrifice he shatters it, destroying both Vaati and himself in the process. Before he vanishes, the four Links thank him, and tell him he will always be a part of them. Shadow Link makes a final appearance on the penultimate page of the manga, appearing as Link's shadow and giving a thumb's up. |
||
| − | If Link has at least 20 [[Secret Seashell]]s and exchanges them for a [[L-2 Sword]], then any chests that would contain leftover Secret Seashells will be replaced by 20 Rupees inside. If Link does not exchange his 20 Secret Seashells, then the chests will still contain Secret Seashells until then. |

Nearly everything in the game requires Rupees, including talking to people. Rupees are also necessary to progress through the game. Tingle must throw Rupees into the [[Western Pool]] near his house to cause a tower to grow which will allow him to access other areas of the game. Rupees can be found by defeating monsters, opening chests, or given as rewards for services to people. In the instances where Tingle is rewarded, he must choose the amount of Rupees he expects to receive from the person. If the amount he chooses is too high, the character will become outraged and give him nothing. Tingle must also choose how much he will pay people for information or services. There is no set price on any item, and Tingle must guess how much the other character will want for it. This is done with a sort of cash-register type of interface on the touch screen. |

| − | ==Rupee Thieves== |
||
| − | Rupee thieves appear in several games. When they come in contact with Link they will either cause his Rupees to fly out of his wallet onto the ground (like Thieves and Keatons), or will drain or steal the Rupees straight from his wallet (like Rupee Likes and Takkuri). |

| − | ===Rupee Draining Items=== |
||
| − | Most items in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Legend of Zelda'' series]] can be used either without cost or until a finite supply is exhausted. These few, however will deplete Link's rupee supply upon use: |
||
| − | *The [[Bow]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', where firing an arrow costs one rupee. |
||
| − | *The [[Magic Armor]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' rapidly depletes rupees while equipped. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Rewards== |
||
| − | Link will be rewarded simply for collecting high number of Rupees in the following games: |
||
| − | *''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. After collecting 10,000 Rupees [[Vasu]] will give Link the [[Rupee Ring]]. |
||
| − | *The [[banker]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' gives Link the Large Wallet after depositing 200 Rupees, a blue Rupee after depositing 1,000 Rupees and a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]] after 5,000 have been deposited. |

| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | [[File:RupeeBlueArtwork.png|right|100px]] |
||
| − | *In ''The Legend of Zelda'', "Rupee" was spelled ''"Rupy"''. In the manual, it was ''"Ruby"''; this may be due to the fact that in the German versions of the ''Zelda'' games, it is called a ''"Rubin"'', which means ''"Ruby"''. |
||
| − | *The {{Wp|Rupee}} is the real-world currency of {{Wp|India}}, {{Wp|Sri Lanka}}, {{Wp|Nepal}}, {{Wp|Pakistan}}, {{Wp|Mauritius}}, the {{Wp|Seychelles}}, and {{Wp|Maldives}}, but they are paper notes as opposed to the gemstone appearance of the Zelda games. It was also formerly the currency of {{Wp|Burma}} and {{Wp|Afghanistan}}. |
||
| − | *The Silver Rupee's low value in ''Ocarina of Time'' is due to the fact that its only purpose in the game is as a puzzle element, and not an actual spending Rupee. These Rupee puzzles can be found in [[Dodongo's Cavern]] (only Master Quest), [[Ice Cavern]], the [[Bottom of the Well]], [[Shadow Temple]], [[Gerudo's Training Ground]], [[Spirit Temple]], and some routes of [[Ganon's Tower|Ganon's Castle]]. |
||
| − | *In ''Majora's Mask'', there appear to be two differently-colored Huge Rupees: one given to Link by a [[Deku Scrub]], and one earned by killing the [[Takkuri]], although this one is not accompanied by text, so its title as a "Huge Rupee" could be debated. This orange Rupee can also be obtained in ''Ocarina of Time'' by killing the [[Skull Kid]] as an adult. |
||
| − | *In ''Majora's Mask'', the probability of finding a Red Rupee in grass is higher if Link has less than twenty rupees in his wallet.{{fact}} |
||
| − | *When using the [[Salvage Arm]] in {{PH}}, there may be a few valuable Rupees in bubbles. If the back arrow is pressed before reaching the [[Treasure Chest|treasure chest]] and Link chooses to salvage the same spot again, all the Rupee bubbles will be back. |
||
| − | *''Four Swords Adventures'' is one of two ''Zelda'' games, the other being {{AOL}}, that didn't include Rupees. Instead, it brings about a new collectible called [[Force Gem]]s. However, Force Gems cannot be used as currency like Rupees, with a few minor exceptions. They are used to return the power to repel evil to the [[Four Sword]]. |
||
| − | *In the [[Phillips CD-i Games|CD-i Games]], {{TFOE}} and {{WOG}}, Rupees are referred to as "Rubies". |
||
| − | *In ''{{Smw|Super Paper Mario}}'', {{Smw|Mario}} has to collect one million {{Smw|Rubee}}s, red crystals that are nearly identical to Rupees, to escape {{Smw|Merlee's Mansion}}. {{Smw|Mimi}} also uses Rubees as weapons when Mario fights her in {{Smw|Sammer's Kingdom}}. |
||
| − | **{{Smw|Flipside Token}}s from the same game also strongly resemble Rupees. |
||
| − | *In ''{{Np|Animal Crossing: Wild World }}'', certain dressers and cabinets will read "You found 10 Rupees! Too bad it's useless in this town." when opened. |
||
| − | *In ''The Wind Waker'' and {{OOT3D}}, Rupees are translucent. In all other games, Rupees are opaque. |

Revision as of 10:25, 30 November 2013
- Not to be confused with Dark Link, the reoccurring boss enemy that appeared in The Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time and inspired the Streetpass mode of A Link Between Worlds.
Template:Boss
This article or section is out of date.
It needs to be updated with information from A Link Between Worlds.
Shadow Link is a dark reflection of Link created from the Dark Mirror, who appears in Four Swords Adventures.[1] Hyrule Historia states that the evil thoughts and resentment of Ganondorf, who had been killed by an earlier incarnation of Link in Twilight Princess, manifested through the Dark Mirror in the form of Link.[2] He is possibly related to Dark Link, but has distinct differences in behavior, origin and appearance, making any relationship between them unclear and speculative. He is the only playable boss in the series, albeit only in Shadow Battle.
Hyrulean Adventure
In Four Swords Adventures, Shadow Link is featured as both a main character and a recurring enemy and boss. There are many Shadow Links; the Dark Mirror can create an endless supply, but they all work together as one. He first appears early in the game in the Four Sword Sanctuary and tricks Link into drawing the Four Sword, releasing the ancient Wind Mage Vaati and splitting Link into four Links. He and his copies then plague Hyrule by terrorizing its citizens, some of whom blame the Links for his misdeeds. Shadow Links usually show up repeatedly in each stage, often causing mischief using a certain item, such as setting fires with the Fire Rod or charging at the Links with the Pegasus Boots, or sometimes simply just taunting Link by avoiding his blade. Whoever manages to defeat him can receive a large green Force Gem, but often they will flee to the Dark World.
Shadow Link also sometimes appears and summons a Big Bomb. When this bomb explodes, all Links on screen will be instantly defeated. He will summon and endless supply of Big Bombs until the Links can escape.
He appears as the main boss for the Cave of No Return, Village of the Blue Maiden, Desert Temple and The Dark Cloud stages - where, during each battle except for the Dark Cloud stage, he would eventually take on a color, and only the corresponding Link could damage him. During these battles he usually travels back and forth from the Dark World and attacks Link with his copy of the Four Sword. Shadow Link and his kin are finally defeated in The Dark Cloud stage when, while the Links engage them in combat, Princess Zelda undoes the seal on the Dark Mirror and takes it into her possession, dispelling them. He also appears as a middle boss on other stages.
Shadow Battle
In the additional multiplayer game in Four Swords Adventures known as Shadow Battle, four colored Shadow Links battle for supremacy in a number of different arenas. While appearing identical to the four Links of the normal game, they appear in the same manner as Shadow Link and have his voice at the start of battle. During these battles, Shadow Link has the exact same abilities as Link normally would.
Other Appearances

Shadow Link continues to plot, hidden away from the light. As he cannot go out in daylight, he works with Vaati's minions to thwart the progress of the four Links. Using dark magic, he manages to split the four Links apart by sending them to four different lands of Hyrule, thus weakening the strength of the Four Sword. Then, confronting Vio, he attempts to coerce him into joining the side of darkness by appealing to his intelligence. Working with Vio, he traps Red and Blue in the Temple of Darkness, and allows Vio to be placed in charge of the Tower of Flames on Death Mountain. Vio even appears to kill Green in battle, totally convincing Shadow Link that he has turned to the side of evil.
However, Vio is simply putting on a show to gain his trust. Once inside, he learns about Ganon and his potential weakness, and the existence of the Dark Mirror, the source of darkness from which Shadow Link was originally summoned. He also learns that Shadow Link does not desire to follow Ganon, and in fact wishes to rule over Hyrule alongside Vio. Shadow Link simply hates humans and the world for spurning him as "just a shadow". However, after Vio is foiled in an attempt to shatter the mirror, Shadow Link discovers his betrayal and attempts to execute him in by dropping him into the lava of Death Mountain. Saved at the last minute by the three other Links, they confront Shadow Link, and with their new-found strength, destroy him with a combined Sword Beam attack.
Shadow Link is not killed, however, and is pulled by Ganon from the mirror again, dripping and shivering as he tries to resist entering the light. Seeing him in this state, Princess Zelda takes pity upon him. He attempts to spurn her but is momentarily moved by her words as she states that he should not fear the light, as he too is a hero. Driven by a desire to save her from the Dark Cloud, he disguises himself as Vio and aids the three other Links in their battle against Vaati. Realizing that the demon cannot be killed by the Four Sword alone however, he returns to the Dark Mirror, and in an act of self sacrifice he shatters it, destroying both Vaati and himself in the process. Before he vanishes, the four Links thank him, and tell him he will always be a part of them. Shadow Link makes a final appearance on the penultimate page of the manga, appearing as Link's shadow and giving a thumb's up.
