Legend of Zelda Treasure Chest Comes Loaded with Colorful Rupees

If you’re looking for a cool decoration for your desk that shows of your love for Zelda, this officially-licensed The Legend of Zelda Rupee Chest is pretty sweet. Whenever you open it you’ll feel the thrill that Link feels when discovering a treasure. You’ll feel Hyrule rich!

The glistening Rupees inside have a solid heft to them because they are basically paperweights, and this will make them feel great in your hand, like you just scored some actual treasure. As an very cool added bonus, the chest plays the classic sound from the games when you open it! They are so beautiful and they’re mine. All mine! If only I had enough treasure to dive into like Daffy Duck.

If you’re lusting after this like I am, it can be pre-ordered from Merchoid for $194.99 with free shipping. Sure, it’s kind of expensive, but it is treasure we’re talking about here after all. You gotta spend money to make money, right? Er… Rupees in this case. Get it? In this case? Tough room. Anyway, get one while you can. There aren’t many left in stock.

Link Wants All the Money in “Race for Rupees”

How many hours have you spent smashing pots in the various Legend of Zelda games in your endless quest for rupees? Too many. Even though there have been many short films, comics and cartoons about Link, they always leave this activity out for some reason.

Smashing pots for rupees is what it’s all about. Everyone knows that. Animator Callegos Yavolitak created Race for Rupees, a fan film that celebrates this. It is nice to know that we’re not alone in our obsession to destroy and gain in-game virtual wealth.

This is a fun little film and very well done. It’s sure to bring a smile to the face of any Zelda fan.

This tenor Rupee ocarina has 6 holes and plays in the C-major key. It measures about 3-inches-long and has a range of 10 notes, including sharps and flats.

I know, it’s pretty cool. What you really want to know is, how much does it cost? That would be $22(USD) and it comes with a neck strap and a fingering chart to help you learn your favorite Zelda songs.

Just be careful you don’t spend it by accident.
