Rupee Likes are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. Similar to Like Likes, these worm-like enemies have antennae sticking out from their mouth area that resemble Rupees or Force Gems of varying colors. They can disguise themselves as a regular Rupee or Force Gem and pop out when Link approaches them. If a Rupee Like swallows Link, it takes Rupees or Force Gems from him for as long as he is stuck. The speed at which Link loses Rupees or Force Gems is dependent on what color antennae they have.

When defeated, Rupee Likes always drop the Rupee or Force Gem from its antennae plus some of the Rupees or Force Gems Link may have lost. It is possible to use the Pegasus Boots to grab the Rupee before the Rupee Like has time to emerge from the ground.

A Rupee Like from Four Swords

Rupee Likes, called Pseudo Rupees in the game, disguise themselves as normal rupees. If approached too closely, they will swallow Link and drain his Rupees.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Rupee Likes are found first in the Fortress of Winds along with many other places such as Veil Falls and in underground caverns.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

Rupee Likes are first encountered near the Eastern Coast. If Link is snared by one of these enemies, it will drag him across the ground, causing him to gradually drop all of his Force Gems. Once the Rupee Like has extracted all of the Force Gems and releases Link, he will have only a short time to recover as many Force Gems as possible. If at least one other Link is player-controlled, a good strategy to use is to collect the Force Gems the afflicted Link drops so that fewer Force Gems will be lost.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Rupee Likes suck Link's Rupees at a constant speed based on the value of the Rupee on their antennas. Blue Rupee Likes, when killed, produce two Blue Rupees instead of one, although it is unknown if this is intentional, or merely a programming flaw. Rupee Likes can be found on Spirit Island, the Isle of Ruins, and the Isle of the Dead.
