Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom: Rupee Farming Guide
Whether you’re trying to save up for additional accessory slots, or you want to purchase specific accessories or ingredients, you’re always going to need a good sum of Rupees in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Here are some tips to boost your income.
There are a lot of Rupees to be found all around Hyrule, and many of them will come to you entirely passively. However, when it comes to high-cost items like accessories, or especially the final upgrade with the Great Fairy to allow five accessories, it can be hard to grind away for money to spend.
Rupee color guide in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
There are a rainbow of different Rupee colors in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and each color Rupee will provide you with a different amount of Rupees. If you’re new to the franchise, or just need a reminder, here’s what each Rupee will give:
| Color | Rupees |
| Green | 1 |
| Blue | 5 |
| Red | 20 |
| Purple | 50 |
| Silver | 100 |
| Gold | 300 |
How to farm for Rupees in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Zelda can carry a maximum of 9,999 Rupees, so you’ve got some saving to do before you reach her maximum capacity. If you’re lacking funds, here are a few tips and tricks that can really help boost your savings.
Complete side quests and minigames that give Rupees as a reward
There are a total of five side quests that give Rupees as their reward. While it won’t make you rich, they’re worth doing if you’re in a monetary pinch:
| Side quest | Area | Unlock requirement | Rupees |
| Ready? Set? Goron! | Eldin Volcano | After clearing the Rift on Eldin Volcano | 50 |
| The Flying Tile | Gerudo Desert | At any point after starting the “A Rift in the Gerudo Desert” main quest | 50 |
| Up a Wall | Suthorn Prairie | After clearing Suthorn Ruins | 20 |
| The Blocked Road | Suthorn Prairie | After Completing “The Mysterious Rifts” main quest | 20 |
| Out of Bubble Kelp | Seesyde Village | As soon as you arrive in Seesyde Village | 20 |
Acorn Gathering is the best minigame in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom if you’re trying to stock up on Rupees, as you’ll get a guaranteed 20 Rupees each time you find all the acorns within 60 seconds. There are also secondary Rupee prizes available for fast clears.
There are a couple of challenges at the Slumber Dojo which also reward Rupees:
- Moblins’ Revenge (20 Rupees)
- Wizzrobe Gathering (50 Rupees)
Completing the Long Course at the Flag Race will also reward you with 50 Rupees the first time you clear it.
Use a Crow Echo or Goldfinch Automaton
While most Echoes or Automatons don’t come with additional effects for Zelda (outside of causing damage or traversing Hyrule, of course), the Crow Echo and Goldfinch Automaton come with a pretty useful bonus — extra Rupees.
While killing any monster in the wild has a chance to drop Rupees, any enemy killed with a Crow or Goldfinch will drop additional Rupees, making these two very useful if you’re trying to grind for funds. The increase when using the Crow Echo is smaller than the one given when using the Goldfinch Automaton, but both are worth employing while exploring.
Explore thoroughly and don’t pull your punches
Wherever you go in Hyrule, make sure to keep an eye out for weakened wall sections or cave entrances. You’re likely to find a store of Rupees inside chests within the new area, and there will be enemies to kill who can also drop Rupees.
While exploring, make sure to spin through tall grass and break all boxes or pots that you see. There’s a high chance that you’ll get a few Rupees from the grass, and you’ll get some ingredients out of the pots, which can be sold for more Rupees.
Regardless of where you’re venturing, take out every enemy you see. This can be time-consuming, especially if you’re taking on more difficult enemies, but there’s a high chance that each enemy will drop at least one green Rupee. Be aware of the type of Echoes you use against each enemy, and embrace the elements to make battles easier.
Smoothies are a goldmine
If you’re stocked up on ingredients, you can earn a few Rupees by selling them outright, but you’re better off making Smoothies out of them. Either way, items cap at 99, so if you’re approaching this point, you’ll need to make use of the items or risk losing out on additional ones that drop.
Each Smoothie costs 10 Rupees, but with each Smoothie (outside of Unfortunate Smoothies) selling for more than they cost to make, you’re guaranteed to make some profit. Some recipes are more profitable than others, with any Smoothie containing Tough Mangos or Golden Eggs coming out on top, selling for 50 or 75 Rupees, respectively.
However, these are both rare ingredients, and it is absolutely not recommended that you sell your Golden Eggs or Smoothies made with them, while Mangos are best used to make Smoothies, which reduce the damage you take.
If you want to hold onto your Mangos and Golden Eggs but still want to make a quick buck, here are the best Smoothies to make and sell for profit, selling for 45 Rupees each:
- Milky Sweet Smoothie
- Pumpkin Bubble Smoothie
- Milky Bubble Smoothie
- Milky Rapid Smoothie
- Milky Climbing Smoothie
- Milky Radiant Smoothie
- Mixed Twisty Smoothie
- Sweet Twisty Smoothie
- Milky Twisty Smoothie
Make the most of accessories
There are four accessories that can be used to boost your income, although they work in different ways.
The Silver or Gold Brooch will outright increase the chances of Rupees dropping from defeated enemies or when spinning through long grass. They’re a good choice if you want to almost passively generate some money as you explore. The Silver Brooch can be found in a treasure chest west of the River Zora Waypoint, while the Gold Brooch is obtained by completing the “Secret Chief Talks” side quest in Zora Cove.
Alternatively, you can increase the drop rate of different ingredients used in Smoothies by equipping the Survey Scope or Binoculars. These can be obtained by completing the two different “Recipes, Please!” side quests.
