I'd stick to the stuff we do have in real life. 60 rupees for a candle, 100 for a piece of meat, 80 for an arrow (maybe a quiver and then 1 per arrow after that)....I'm gonna guess somewhere between 12 and 15 rupees to 1 USD.
That was unnecessarily harsh. However, since there are no Deku Nuts in real life, we can't easily convert their exchange rates. We should stick with archery bows and meat and the like. Oh, and fish.
You're right. I'm sorry. Anywho, now that we've established using real items, which game and which real life store prices do we compare? Already we have a debate over the price of meat in Zelda 1.
Well there was that shop full of expensive items in Zelda I, and I think they sold meat. Also, it's safe to assume that the passage of time between various games changed prices due to inflation and the kingdom being sunk underwater and such.
That said, I don't wanna do all that work. Someone else do it for me. But I don't have a real problem with the Deku Nut conversion, honestly.
I could have sworn she mistook him for someone from the village people instead of jackson 5! Has Mario been doing some sneaky comic-changing, or does my memory suck?
980 rupees is a travesty. Thank you, save and quit, for an awesome discount!
I can't honestly imagine that rupees are worth much converted to dollars, though. You can find those things all over the place, so that's gotta lower their value.
You find the bow, but you pay 80 for the ability to shoot arrows, and then it costs 1 rupee for every shot thereafter. I assume you must be purchasing a quiver for 80 and then arrows for 1 each via mail-order.
If you go to the place that sells the blue ring in the first quest and becomes Level 2 in the second quest, the meat is only 60. 100 seems rather pricy, so I assume those other guys are ripping you off and 60 is the true value, otherwise, how could that guy earn any profit?

You maybe able to find them all over the place, but people themselves have very few. When you go into a person's house and bust up some jars, they have maybe a few rupees. Some have more, but those people are few. Even villians rarely drop more than 5 rupees.
The Hylian King is hording his nation's wealth. No wonder Ganon is trying to overthrow him.

Do you leave all of your money in random pots and jars? I don't. And the king isn't hording rupees: Tingle is.
Wait. Do rupees grow on trees? Or are they put up there by the minish?
They're put under grass and stones and such by the minish. That was explained in Minish Cap. Also: DEATH TO TINGLE!! (Thank God he wasn't in Twilight Princess).
Tingle sucks and deserves to die. His balloon should pop indefinitely. Also if you are looking for bows for the currency conversion thing make sure it isn't a composite because those are more expensive.
Well the guy that runs the STAR minigame was based off Tingle, so in a sense, he was.
Uhm, no. That guy didn't run around throwing little cut up pieces of contruction paper (Tingle is too cheap to buy glitter) and yelling "Tingle Tingle Kooloo-Limpah!" That guy is totally not Tingle. The only similarity is the outfit.

Correct'd!
A "few" nuts is a dollar, and a random amount of Deku Nuts is 30 rupees, so five bucks is 150 rupees? That makes no sense.
I dunno, I haven't played too much Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda.
BOY, THIS IS EXPENSIVE!

EDIT: I mean,
Link is stupid, remember?
What's a remember? Why is Link's remember stupid? And what are you asking about his stupid remember?
