Wallet

From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia

A Wallet is a bag used by Link in almost every The Legend of Zelda game used to hold the series's currency, Rupees. Starting in Ocarina of Time, the games feature several wallets of varying maximum capacities that can be acquired through various means as the game progresses. The actual maximum capacity and name of these wallets vary from game to game.

Notes

• In The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening, only one wallet is had throughout the course of the game and is, in fact, not even mentioned.
• The Legend of Zelda has a maximum of 255 Rupees since only 8 bits were used to represent the number due to the hardware limitations of the Nintendo Entertainment System. (2⁸ equals 256, allowing values from 0 to 255)
• The Adventure of Link doesn't even have a Rupee system, as there are no items to purchase.
• In Oracle of Seasons, while in Subrosia, the allowed currency is the Ore, which (like the Rupees) has a 999 limit.
• Four Swords Adventures has no Rupees either, as Force Gems are used instead.
• In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland there are no wallet upgrades, and Tingle can carry 9,999,999 Rupees from the beginning. This title easily claims the record of having the highest Rupee capacity in the Zelda series.
• Neither Phantom Hourglass nor Spirit Tracks show any wallet upgrades, but both clock at the third highest rupee capacity in the canon series at 9999 Rupees, with Four Swords remaining second.
• In the Four Swords 25th Anniversary edition, the wallet capacity is increased to 999,999 Rupees, which is the highest of any canon game.

Wallet Locations

Note: The following list is arranged by the location of wallet upgrades in the games where they appear. The upgrades can be obtained in any order, unless otherwise specified, but the upgrade level's order is unrelated to it. Therefore, the first upgrade collected (regardless of which one) will always be the medium-sized Wallet, while the last upgrade will be the largest Wallet.

Also, these games all have a starting Wallet, which will not be mentioned.
