That's okay, I have a whole wallet of red rupees.

What the hell is a green rupee? All I know about is the flashing yellow/blue ones and the solid blue ones.

/Introduced a friend's girlfriend to the original last week. She had never played it or the original Super Mario Brothers. I laughed as my six year old son showed her how it's done. Then I told her to get off my lawn.

Has anyone ever actually been short on Rupees in a Zelda game? It may be the most worthless currency in a game ever.

Only when using that stupid armor in Twilight Princess.

I've beaten Legend of Zelda, Zelda II, and Link to the Past. Ocarina of Time gave me motion sickness.

Off my lawn unless you're cutting it, in which case, you can keep all the shiat you find in there.

The new one seems to understand that dungeons shouldn't be littered with 50 rupee treasure chests, and I have found myself having to save up to afford stuff. It really is a strange concept after TP's free rupees everywhere system.

Green rupees were introduced in Link to the Past.

================================================================

Yes, in the first zelda. Since it took 250 gold to buy a blue ring but you could only hold, due to 8 bits of data, 255 gold.

So once you bought it... it was hack and slash for a long-ass time to get rupees again. Especially if you don't have a diagram as to where all the 'secrets to everybody' are.

Diamond Trail, southern edge of Hyrule.

From the starting point, go east and kill everything in each screen. When you hit the southeast edge, start walking back where you came from. When you hit the spot where the monsters start popping again (it's the screen with the blue tektites and the underground tunnel), kill them all and head east again. All the monsters will pop just as you're walking in.

You'll get about 30-40 rupees per run, each run taking about 2 minutes.
