[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda through The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

There is only one wallet throughout the entire course of the game, the first four games, and is never mentioned. In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, there is no Rupee system, since there are no items to purchase.

The Legend of Zelda's wallet can hold up to 255 Rupees, because the maximum variable was 255 in older computer systems (such used in the Nintendo Entertainment System). In A Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening, the maximum is 999 Rupees for both.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Link starts off with the Child's Wallet, which can hold up to 99 Rupees. Link can obtain the Adult's Wallet, which can hold 200 Rupees by killing 10 Gold Skulltulas. Link can also obtain the greater Giant's Wallet by killing 30 Gold Skulltula's. This can carry a maximum of 500 Rupees, which is also the maximum amount allowed in the game.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Link again can only hold 99 Rupees with the default wallet. After depositing 200 Rupees in West Clock Town's bank, he gets the Adult's Wallet, which holds 200 Rupees. After killing all thirty Gold Skulltulas and collecting their spirits in the Oceanside Spider House on the First Day, Link receives the Giant's Wallet, allowing him to carry up to 500 Rupees.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages & The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

The wallet is similar to A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening; there is one wallet that can hold up to 999 Rupees. While in Subrosia, the 999 limit also applies to Ore Chunks.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

For the first time in the series, the maximum amount of Rupees that can be carried passes the 1000 mark. Link's initial wallet holds 200 Rupees. The first upgrade from a Great Fairy, gives him a 1000 Rupee capacity. The second upgrade, by another Great Fairy allows him to hold a maximum of 5000 Rupees. In this game, it is necessary to get at least one of these optional upgrades in order for Tingle to decipher Triforce Charts.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

The Minish Cap is the first handheld game to feature wallet upgrades. The starting wallet is capable of holding 99 Rupees. The three wallet upgrades can be obtained in any order. One can be bought from Stockwell for 80 Rupees. The next is unlocked by fusing Kinstones with Mayor Hagen. Finally, one is found in the Great Fairy Fountain in the Minish Woods. The capacity of the wallets will increase from 300, to 500, and ultimately to 999.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Link starts out with the Normal Wallet, with the capacity for 300 Rupees. Then, by collecting a Golden Bug for Agitha, Link is given the Big Wallet, which can hold 600 Rupees. After collecting all the possible Golden Bugs, she gives him the Giant's Wallet, which holds 1000 Rupees.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass & The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

These games feature no wallet upgrades, but safely claim the title of highest Rupee capacity in any canon game, which is 9999 Rupees.
