Whether it’s for that awesome piece of armor, a bunch of arrows, or whatever else you may need, Rupees are going to be necessary for conquering Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Unforꦆt💯unately, they aren’t the easiest thing to come by, unless you know what makes you the most money.

If you plan on building your own house in Tarrey Town or doing pretty much anything else in Hyrule, you’re going to need Rupees sooner or later. One of the best ways to make money in this game is to sell items for Rupees. Here are the best items you can sell for Rupees in Tears of the Kingdom and how to get each of them.

Materials

Random materials are a decent way to make some extra cash in the game, especially when 🥂you’re just starting out. Items like apples, flint, herbs, and so on will earn you a few Rupees for each of them. I mostly recommend these for the players who are only a few hours into the game.

T꧂hese materials don’t give you much to start with, but they can help you at least stock up on arrows or get your first piece of armor. Just be sure to grab every plant, apple, etc you see in the field. If you have too many of a single item, it might be worth selling the excess amount you don’t ne🐈ed.

Prepared food

Better yet, if you have tons of apples and other food items, it’s worth heading to a cooking pot and turning them into a delꦛectable treat. These cooked food items generally sell for more tha𓆉n the original material would on its own.

This is a much quicker way to earn some Rupees and get more out of ꦓthe items in your inventory.

Monster parts

As you defeat various Bokoblins, Moblins, Gleeoks, Lynels, and the like, you’ll earn various monster parts. While you could use these to attach to your wea🔯pons for added attack bonuses, you can also sell them at traders for Rupees🅺.

The rarer the mons🍒ter part, the more valuable it is. For instance, a Bokoblin Horn might only sell for a few Rupees, but the drops from one of the several dragons in the game is far more valuable and ✤will sell in the hundreds.

Brightbloom seeds

One item you’ll likely end up with hundreds of over time are Brightbloom seeds. You generally don’t need too many of these in your time in the Depths, so I like to sell the hundreds I’m not going to use for Rupees. These se💞eds are everywhere in caves throughout the ga🗹me.

Gems

Speaking of caves, some of ꩵthe best items to sell for money are the gems in the game. You’ll find ruby, sapphire, amber, and other gems as you play. Carry around a weapon with a rock attached to it and you can destroy ore deposits🍰 to farm these valuable gems.

Diamonds

Above all else, diamonds are the most impressive item to sell in Tears of the Kingdom. They are the best gems and a🌌lso the rarest. But if you can find t💃hem—or even duplicate them, if you have an older patch version—you can sell diamonds for 500 Rupees each.

Sell a handful of these andꦉ you’ll instantly be able to make the home of your dreams or do pretty much anything else.

Flint

Flint is part of the materials and gems you can mine for in caves and the like, but it differs in how often you’ll find it. Similar to Brightbloom Seeds, you’ll find flint pretty much everywherꦺe in the game where you can break rocks foဣr gems.

It won’t be long before your inventory is full of flint if you m🍨ine for a bit, and you’ll likely have more than you’ll ever need. They sell for a measly five or 10 rupees each, depending on the trader, but it starts to add up quite fast if you have 100 or more of these in your inventory.

Elixirs

In addition to meals, players can also make elixirs. Items like the Hearty Elixir and Energizing Elixir are similar to food in how they recover stamina, buff the playe💦r, or temporarily give them extra hearts. They usually use rarer materials, such as the Energetic Rhino Beetle and monster parts.

Though they don’t always recover hearts the way food does, ꦑthey, too, can be worth a solid amount of rupees. If you have an abundance of moꦬnster parts and materials you won’t ever use, whip up some elixirs at the cooking pot and sell them for some solid cash. You can even sometimes get more money than you would for food this way.
