It's ZELDA MONTH over on PeanutButterGamer's channel, which means we're overdue for a deep look into the ABSURDITY of Zelda items. And I decided to tackle what I think is probably MY FAVORITE video game currency -- the RUPEE. Who wouldn't want enormous gemstones as their item of trade? But did you know you can actually OWN YOUR OWN Zelda rupee? It's true! And the true value of one Zelda rupee will BLOW YOU AWAY!
A lot of you have been asking about the Zelda video we used at 10:26. For those of you interested in Racing for Rupees, you can check out the full video here. ►► bit.ly/1KW05xz

Well since you find rupees EVERYWHERE,the value drops in the world of Hyrule.
So much so,its used as currency, which means that one rupee is the same as one dollar.
Was going to comment the same thing
since it's a video game maybe it's called "rupee" but it's actually plastic
What?

5:54 - All of a sudden I really want a Jolly Rancher.
Thanks for having me on Game Theory again! Was tons of fun. =)
Yes I been waiting for a long time
This episode was so cool! My two faves: MatPat and PBG :D
PBG!!!! God damn I love your long neck!
Hiiiiii pbg
+PeanutButterGamer Oh, hey NutellaSportsman!
I feel bad for future Matpat because in Legend of Zelda breath of the wild there are both rubies and sapphire unless they are made from those gems either way I need to remember it’s just a theory
A game theory, thanks for watching.
Mind blown
India is what your looking for, young Link. There's plenty of Rupees here.
And pakistan too! We have pakistani rupees... Huh. Indian rupees, and pakistani rupees... That means that rupees that zelda has aint the same as the country ones!
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY
@@doggo_woo A GAME THEORY THANKS FOR WACHING
Divita IsAwesome also PAKISTAN
Rupee is Sanskrit term means a coin of silver . since many language of ancient India like Hindi , Urdu , Punjabi are similar to Sanskrit hence Rupee term is used by majority in ancient India .
umm, imma hide my lawnmower from this man
Wait... Does that mean that Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are technically the same game?
Lol
+Marcus Vinicius Quintas Filho Revelation of the century, kiddos.
+Marcus Vinicius Quintas Filho NO IT DOESN'T
+Marcus Vinicius Quintas Filho Hey, you're right! Alpha Ruby and Omega Sapphire ARE the same game!
+Marcus Vinicius Quintas Filho No, it means that they are almost the exact same with only slight differences in them which only change how they look.
Wait a minute... That title... This isnt a culture shock or a brief history! WE HAVE AN ACTUAL THEORY PEOPLE!!!
Omg
+123455thatguy I sometimes think the lifestreams are theories lol
+123455thatguy Much Wow such cool ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nor is it a stream!
the real question is. is it a good theory or is it a scraping the bottom of the barrel crap theory like we have been getting lately
0:35"you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you" - Happy mask salesman.
Happy Mask salesmen went yeet. You now this calculation is completely off because their is so much rupees.
More like not Relevant for 20 years man
Also me
The book also has the singular Rupee as “Rupy”
I'm waiting for you to tackle Undertale, MatPat.
There's tons of unanswered questions about the game that we want answers for, and a lot of fan theories are spreading accross the internet.
For example:
- Who really IS Chara?
- Who were the other 6 fallen children?
- How can Frisk have determination, but not the other children?
- Why is THE PLAYER the first fallen child? (Assuming you used your real name like I did.)
- AND WHY DOES TORIEL'S EYES TURN RED AT SPECIFIC MOMENTS????
And this is just me scratching the surface. I haven't even mentioned Gaster yet. There's tons of unanswered questions and a ton of things MatPat could tackle about the game. So please don't insult people when they want MatPat to make an episode about Undertale. Our opinion is just as important as your's.
Btw. We have already had a bunch of episodes about Nintendo characters already. Why not another indie game for once, instead of these triple A titles over and over again?
And by the way. Everyone should read what my cousin wrote because no one ever talks about this:
"I never see anyone talk about it but Chara not being inherently evil has canonical proof - they redeem themself in the Pacifist, No Reset timeline.
If you boot up up the game after Frisk has left the underground, Flowey asks Chara to not Reset because "everyone is happy". Again: Chara. Not Frisk. Frisk has already left the underground. Only Chara (& you, the player) remain, and it's only you who can reset.
If you decide not to reset, that in extension means Chara themself decides to let everyone go & live their lives - even if that means they'll have to be stuck in the underground alone, forever (& you, the player, choose to never replay the game). Again, Chara has the power to reset. They can bring everyone back. But they don't. And if that's not redemption, I don't know what is."
Think about that for a second.
+Blade Marcs ur butt is overrated xD jk
+Blade Marcs It's overrated but it's still a great game. Gotta give it that...
+TopHatLucario What is there to "tackle" exactly?
+Blade Marcs That entirely depends on what you like but there are some secrets that would make for good theory
Same here
Forget emerald.
Pokémon Corundum confirmed.
+This channel sucks HAHAH! I love it. MAKE IT HAPPEN GAME FREAK!
+The Game Theorists ..............
+The Game Theorists 10/10
+This channel sucks I think you broke MatPat....
+The Game Theorists IN about 10 years I will (I'll join Gamefreak)
I actually want to do a Theory about the comparative values of different game currencies (Mushroom coins, Rings, Gil, Bolts, Rupees, and Pokéyen). The answer will be based in economics rather than composition, since we can’t tell what they’re made, or their “real” size, since the size is a matter of convenience to the player, rather than realistic.
And caps
They're Pokédollars, not Pokéyen
1,000 subs with no videos - I tend to think of them as Yen, both because that was the symbol used in Red/Green, because there are no decimals as there are with dollars, because the prices seem a lot more reasonable when you think of them as yen ($2.65 is a bit more reasonable for a soda than $300), and the economic system behaves like yen, for example with the taxis in Kalos, which start at P710, the same as the ¥710 that is the standard starting fare for taxis in Japan.
You're right there, but they're still referred to as Pokédollars, no matter what real life currency they are most similar to or based on. Even the Japanese name "ポケドル" is just a transliteration of Pokédollar. And the Yen symbol was never used, every game has used a P with two crosses through it, the Pokédollar symbol.
Good luck with that
The problem with the conversion here is that the price per karat would be a lot lower due to the abundance of the gemstone in the universe/kingdom
cardsfanbj exactly, they are like coal to us or wood relatively common, but not too common
And also the varying sizes of rupees in different games (like BotW versus OoT). Would be really interested to see them redo this theory using this knowledge and calculating the worth of each green rupee of the games.
Except that he wasn't calculating the in universe value.
cardsfanbj That wasn't the point of the video, it was trying to calculate how much it would cost in OUR world.
Exactly! I mean, if they were literally just scattered on the ground and could be found pretty much anywhere, would precious gems really be considered all that precious?
Finally a Game Theory video that isn't "live"...
THANK YOU.
Hi
i know rite
SOMEBODY SAID IT
*video actually buffers while fake buffering*
Ikr i thought the real buffering was fake, intill he didn't talk for 30 second.
my buffering is a solid circle instead of some dots so I knew it was fake or real
New youtube again.
10:25
The animation of link smashing pots is called
"Racing for Rupees"
Its a good video
I watched it earlier and it was pretty funny
I'm late but I want to say thank you
YESH I LOVE IT
3:15 "Nutella Sportsman" absolutely killed me
Way to go guys, this episode was a real GEM. Eh? Ehhh? :D
.... I hate you, but I love you
+lol64min and here I was think you were a STONER!!!
This joke is going to be driven into the GROUND.
+lol64min You sir, are a diamond in the rough.
b3afy, who plays TF2 Can I calm you with a shamROCK shake?
Hmm. I don't think that's the actual size of the rupees. Just that they would have to make them visibly larger so the player can see them easier and pick them up. Remember that only so many can fit into the wallet. Perhaps the area and max capacity of the wallet is a better way to calculate their worth.
+moromillas A good point, but Matpat can't just make guesses about what a ruppee's size might actually be. He has to go off what he has, and the size he got is all he had.
MyCockatielScreams Well, maybe there's some way to measure the size of the wallet in-game.
Wait! What if link's wallet is a TARDIS from doctor who? It could be bigger on the inside!
+Aidan Hamer I guess we can say it is a Wibbly Wobbly Wallet
+moromillas Maybe he should have done TP rupees. Those things are tiny. I wish he calculated the rupees from all the games. The ones in the 2D games are huge!
We NEED more collaboration videos from MatPat and PBG
Me: *sees number at end* :O
*Starts smashing pots rapidly*
I am learning so much about Steven Universe right now
Lol

Ruby and Sapphire? Guess what I'm thinking about... and it involves gay space rocks
Steven universe?
YASSSSSS!
they are cousins according to science. that's new...
The gems are genderless
Tommy Marshall yeah, but it's easier for people to identify what you're talking about if you call them gay space rocks. I think that was his goal, get people to see what he was thinking about easier.
I feel like that you're missing something MatPat
the rarity of the "Rupies" in the game
MatPat: I've been drowning-
Me: I see you Mat. And I love you. And puns.
Omgosh he reads creepypasta? ????? DO A THEORY DO A THEORY DO A THEORY! !!!!
(5 mins later)
Sorry everyone for the weird overeaction but it's so hard to find people like these into the fringe horror (official term, sad but true) area. It gets demonized so often I'm just happy. Plus I want him to do a theory on ben drowned.
@@ambermargheim5726 yeah, it would be really cool.
@@happyllama4255 hope he does one soon
I mean... It's not like the Indian currency is Rupees or anything...
But the Indian currency isn't a gem. It's just the same name.
+Xaaaach XD I knew that
+Xaaaach I was thinking the same thing too. I thought it Nintendo trying to make some sort of pun on the Indian currency, rupees.
+Xaaaach The rough translation for "rupee" is basically "Silver coin."
lol ikr
I feel like I'm not the only person who thought about steven universe in this video
+Jure Krisper You're definitely alone.
Nope youre not
Yep! Steven Universe should do something about how they are the same thing.
I hope you are
bruh
7:25 If you didn’t notice, Wario fingers you when he leaves the screen.
One problem: inflation.
These things and sapphires would be worth a LOT less.
was expecting a Pokemon reference somewhere
Sadly I've been let down.....
+Megabuster Man ;-; I CRI EVRTIEM

I don't know but at 9:03 PBG sounded like the Pokedex.
+Megabuster Man Mate, I was expecting a RWBY reference somewhere. Mat has let his fans down :(
+Megabuster Man We were expecting a SU reference... Sadly I've been let down down.
please matpat do an undertale theory
Ive been wondering for ages,
Whats undertale?
(soz im new.)
Cute EEVEE33 its a game youre gonna like it but if you dont like it *youre gonna have a bad time*
+Aleks Kojak logged in just to upvote this
+Aleks Kojak
So my life's gonna suck because i don't like a game
Ugh, fanboys.
+Cute EEVEE33 basically, its a turn based RPG with bullet hell like dodging for enemies attack. you can choose to either spare everyone or kill everyone (sparing recommended) to get through the game. it has a total of 3 endings, being Neutral (basically didn't do everything for the other two endings), Pacifist (make all of your friends AND beat neutral at least once) or Genocide (kill everyone. no exceptions). pass that... I'll just say it's very story and character driven. stay away from its community, it is FULL of Spoilers and people who think you have to play their way or not at all.
Imagine link in the hood selling cristal rupies
having a super old binge of game theory. so wholesome, i love it
That means Magic armor costs at Malo Mart shop=$8,078,484,352.5
The quest to get the armor cost is=40,447,346,250
so in total you spend=$48,545,830,602.5
And you need to power the armor with rupees.
lol your a little late, I did that math 8 months ago
You did not his COMMENT 8 months ago
Rubies and Saphires are the same thing... So THAT explains why Ruby and Saphire go so well together!
Stop talking about a cartoon on a television network (how do you like it huh?)
+speed the unicorn steven universe
Not in the Pokemon Games.
***** I know, this isn't the first time someone has referred to the TV show.
+TheNinjaNerd! Nice.
4:00 Garnet approves this video: Rubies and Sapphires are made of Corundrum AND Love.
It’s 2024 and this content is still amazing. Love Game Theory. Love MattPatt. Love PBG. Love life.
BIG OBJECTION MatPat!!!
You counted the value or Ruby/Sapphire based upon our world but honestly - do you really think they would be so valuable if they are to be found everywhere?
- Honey, will you please cut down the lawn?
- Sure, no problem
- 30 minutes later
- Honey, I found rubies worth of 100 Million $ while cutting the lawn!
No let's be realistic - they would have no value at all because of "economic rarity law" or however it's called in English...
+ShiniOokami
Hmm, you're absolutely right.
YOUR HONOR, THAT TESTIMONY IS BULLSHIT.
+ShiniOokami Well, the point of the video was not to figure out their worth in the Zelda universe (since that is like asking how much 1 dollar is worth in America, which is pretty pointless) but rather to calculate their worth in our world.
+ShiniOokami No, He's not absolutely right.
Because plottwist.
the reason Zelda's Family is always Royalty and in power is because their lineage possesses the Power that Link does, The ability to produce these rupees from practically nothing, Smash a pot, rupees, cut the grass with a sword, rupees
And because Link is Link, he has the power to do it as well.
But nobody else in their universe does, so its not that they're found everywhere....
Or Only Link Possesses the Ability, being the Chosen Hero.
It seems odd that
I don't think any normal person can or even is supposed to just afford the things that you typically spend all your rupees on, once you start getting into the big items, they all look Royal or of importance.
And nobody wants you to own bombs, what are you, a terrorist?
Ever read a Manga called "The Gamer".. I'd say Link is like that. He kills something, break something, etc, he gets exp and money for it, but normally, If other people were to "kill"/fight the same thing, they might get "stronger" like a normal person, But they wouldn't get money/items like him... Things that would normally be extremely impossible or rare, are uncommon or even common, abundantly so, for him.
Or.
You could be right and they could be worthless. But hey. That would make the chosen hero and/or Hylia/Her mortal incarnations, that much less powerful, to not have it as a special ability.
And what would be the fun in that?
Kurzidan Your "The gamer Manga" sounds interesting - sauce maybe?
ShiniOokami
you can read it at pretty much any manga site I've been to so far, if nothing else, Mangareader and mangahere
on the same strain of things, There's also "World Customize Creator", its a little slower, in both the world and the releases
while all of this is fairly interesting. We can't apply the value of rubies and sapphires from our world to the zelda world. We do not know how common or uncommon these stones are in the zelda universe, but seeing how many there are in this world and that they are used as a currency, they probably have much much less value than the stones in our world. I think they are comparable in rarity and value as the material we humans make coins. Tin, Iron, Copper and whatnot.
+buciallstar Exactly my thought.
No it's how much they are worth in our world, not Zelda's
That's exactly what I was thinking. In a world made of diamond, diamonds are worthless.
Yeah, but it was for our world, and my theory to make rupees not hyper expensive, corundum is insanely common in hyrule, making it a useful material for a currency, and why every Zelda game has a mine
+Rose BPOS Sadly there is an over abundance of diamonds in real life. But there is a monopoly on them because "a diamond is forever" crap so they are worth more than they should be. So perhaps there is a monopoly on Rupees. I dunno.
I really love the intro to these videos. Like REALLY FREAKING LOVE IT. It fills me with DETERMINATION!

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah..... PBG saying smart stuff?!
He's reading from a script the pat made.
I know, it just does not sound normal listening to him saying smart stuff.
It also puts into perspective the values of both he and Mr. Pat, as well as the vast differences between them.
"Not enough speaking lines", eh? He had plenty of lines mocking the scientific value MatPat was working towards.

I'm just going to take a moment to acknowledge the animation at 9:15 where the rupee spins. That probably took a lot of effort, but I guess I wouldn't really know. It looked like it would be hard to animate.
Clicked on this video and saw an ad about rupees that covered literally every topic in the video
Hyrule must have some really bad inflation.
Really?, I thought that magic potions are worth like millions
rockykid375 Look at how much some cheap items like milk will set you back.
+Cowboycomando54 And in the first game, some enemies give you like 50 rupees if you find their hideout.
+Cowboycomando54 well look at how common they are
+Cowboycomando54
Their economy isn't comparable to ours since they only have one form of currency, rupees. Not to mention that rupees in the games are much, much, much more abundant than corundum is in real life, so the rupees would be worth much less in the games.
I don't know if this has been asked already before, but could you do a video theory on "Don't hug me. I am scared."
+gabtype lets hope he makes on the film theory channel
YES! please do Matpat !!
+Gary Cocker we aren't talking about the game "I'm scared" , we are talking about the KRplus series "don't hug me,I'm scared"

Since rupees are so common in Hyrule, they wouldn't be worth very much. You can just find them in bushes and no one even cares if you take them, so they can't be that valuable.
+bob harrysville Another video going more into the economy of Hyrule would be cool, I don't know how you would do that though.
+bob harrysville
Seeing as how we're the only person who uses these shops, at least expressly shown in the game.

And "then" pretty much means after. (not a synonym though)
Haha, by scientific standards, you really are just Game Hypothesizer.
Hypothesizing is guessing what would happen in an experiment based on evidence you know

There just one problem with your theory. You assume the Rupies would have as much value in Hyrule than in our world. But rupies are so common in Hyrule that the value of rubies and saphire would plummet to the ground

Which is why this "theory" is bunk. It's only taking into the account what we see in the world, and not what Link holds above his head. The rupees he holds above his head is bigger than the palm of his hands, which is still ridiculously big for a gemstone.
+Zeldagigafan It'd make much more sense to use Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword rupees instead, as they are much less ridiculous in size.
TsukuneD While they certainly are less ridiculous in terms of size, they are still about as big as the palm of the hand.
***** They seem to be as big as the new Real bill here in Brazil. At least in height. As a reference, it's 3/4 the American Dollar bill.
He's only going off the math he had previously known. He couldn't go off any other games except Ocarina because Link could be a different height, meaning he has to start completely from scratch. He can't do anything Link pulls from chests since you can't see all of him, and have to estimate the sizes. So, no, the theory makes sense, the explanation is sound.
Morsu: You want it? It’s your’s my friend, as long as you have enough rubies.
man you make science Super Fun by adding video games in it I have been watching your videos for about a year-and-a-half and I know a lot about science now we even got to watch several of your videos in school Go Game Theory now this is not a theory you're the best KRplusr oh and me ooof you are the best!!!! 👍
I like your bad puns to and memes

Another awesome video! I love your more scientific ones. Although, I'm sure the size of rupees, especially in Ocarina of Time, are visually exaggerated to make them easier to spot for players. Similar to how many chibi-style games like Harvest Moon, have basically every single item greatly enlarged when held by the player character. This isn't to show that, for example, a carrot is twice the size of your body and you can somehow magically eat it a bunch of them, but its actually just the game artists means of depicting a carrot in your hand, if they made it life-size then you would be holding a 2 pixel orange thing, but by greatly exaggerating its size of the carrot, the player can figure out what they are looking at easily. I'm sure its a similar principle with the rupee's, if they made them actual-size, no one would be able to find them, especially in the earlier games. So the artists greatly exaggerate their size for some gameplay simplification. Though if rupee's are indeed that massive then your math is indeed correct. This is just another thing to think about. ;)
+Gnoggin Yeah, I felt something was a little off with this video.
Gnoggin do a video on how the golden path from far cry 4 are terriosts.
This video really makes me want PBG to voice some kind of villain.
MatPat and PBG are such a great Smart Guy/Comic Relief duo.
i really want to cut some grass now
Carful dude! You could Break the ruby itself!
XD
Wait ... If you could make a sword out of the rupees... The sword would be literally made out of money, and I don't know how well it would retain an edge or the hardness it might actually work as a sword :P
@@endgineer6424 bruh rubys also known as corundom are the second hardest material on Earth.
@@daniellejackson6543 thank you captain obvious...
Everyone here's thinking about Steven Universe, while I'm here thinking about Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby :(
Don't forget Pokemon Emerald.
Mukoma Ryan me to pall
Mukoma Ryan I feel you
Don't be sad! Be happy that you're so different from others! You're unique! (I like being cheesy sometimes.)
lol my mind just went straight to Steven Universe
Different gemstones are more common in different parts of the world, so it makes sense that Hyrule could have a higher concentration of corundum than any place in the real world. The volcanic activity present would also be creating the heat and pressure that any gemstone needs to form.
WHEN YOU GET A DIAMOND PLAY BUTTON YOU SHOULD MAKE AN EPISODE LIKE THIS
I cannot listen to this video without thinking about Steven Universe
same
ganondorf is a gem
SAME
+Extreme Kiwi In the end Corundum + Corundum = Garnet??
Same! I commented, quote
"MatPat, you're frickin awesome, but I am in a physical pain that you made no Steven Universe references here."
Could you do a game theory similar to this one, but on Spyro gems?
0:36 the loading icon is the scariest part of that little scene
Hmm... Well, what about glass? They can be colored and give off a shine. Heck, they can be turned into mirrors. Glass is made from sand. Sand forms due to weathering, which occurs pretty much everywhere. Sapphires, however, are igneous. That means that they can only form from molten lava. Unless Death Mountain can create an unlimited amount of sapphires and that's where rupee production comes from, I doubt that sapphires are more abundant than sand in the Zelda Universe.
Also, look at the shooting gallery. Rupees shatter. That wouldn't happen if it were made of the second hardest mineral on Earth.
Here's an example of glass Zelda rupees, and look! They're so shiny! :D
www.zeldainformer.com/news/gorgeous-set-of-zelda-themed-glass-rupees-for-under-20
Well, those arrows were being shot by a person who could carry and use that deadly hookshot, and don't forget that both the rupees and the arrows shattered
+Josh S OBJECTION! Hardness of a mineral only affects how easy it is to scratch. Even diamond can shatter like glass, but the fragments won't have any surface imperfections that weren't there during formation or cutting of the gem!
Thomas Manley Mercurz Z HOLD IT! That doesn't disprove my glass theory! It just... kinda... disproves my disproving of the sapphire theory. Hm...
Okay then, how about expense? Wouldn't it be tons cheaper and more efficient to produce glass than it would to produce sapphires? I mean, it costs fifteen of those things to buy a freaking deku stick! Death Mountain is probably the only area in Ocarina of Time with the sufficient amount of heat and pressure to make sapphires, but even if rupees were produced there, it still takes a LOT of time to make them! Like... millions of years!
+Josh S NOT SO FAST!!! According to the lore of Legened of Zelda the Minish Cap: the Pikkori are responsible for quite literally for the various item spawns that exist across all the of the LOZ Lore by that standard its not unlikely that the Pikkori would have an easier time producing mass amounts of corundum crystals because of the minish magical properties (being able to change the size of people and objects) a spec of corundum could become an entire rupie by that logic
+Josh S But if you think about it, currently the rupies cost might be that high in the real world because of inflation and rarity of rubies and other gems, while they might be so plentiful that they decided that that is normal currency in their "Planet/universe", as an example if you think about it we used gold for a time as coins as currency in some places making the need for it higher and production of it making golds over all value go down, so the same may apply in that universe.
Game Theory has taught me more than 8 years of school... I've been watching GT for just over a year.

This video makes my little geologist heart so happy
Super cool, although being as how common rupees are in the Zelda universe the prices in our world just wouldn’t match up with the value of them in the legend of Zelda.
A rupee is Indian currency with Gandhi's face on it.
And of a country named Nepal
India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia (rupiah), Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives (rufiyaa), and formerly Afghanistan and Myanmar.
12SPASTIC12 Thank you of informing me of such.
I am a Indian so rupees is Indian currency
No, you are Indian so the rupee is the currency of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia (rupiah), Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives (rufiyaa), and formerly Afghanistan and Myanmar. The Indian Rupee is the currency of India but "The Rupee" is not the currency of any single country. I don't really understand the point of this comment.
