Rupee Men Locations

Not many know that the Rupee Men from most Zelda games did indeed make an appearance in A Link to the Past. There were only two and they were not the familiar "old men" but actually depicted as "thieves". Both give you the same amount of cash if you talk to them - 300 Rupees. Plus whatever's in the chests located behind them.

	Rupee Man Location #1
	The first Rupee Man is located in the Light World. Go south through the Swamp and take the south-eastern exit towards the river. Before you enter another scene, travel along the northern wall and you'll find this cave, just to the left of the river. It will look like a loose rock, not the typical crack, but you can still bomb it to make an entrance.

	Rupee Man Location #2
	The second one is in the Dark World. Enter the Marsh just below the Bomb Shop and in the same scene, head towards the right wall and look upwards into this tiny crevice. You will see a small crack in the wall that you will need to bomb. Once you have talked to the theif, don't forget to bomb the wall behind him to find his storage of chests with even more Rupees.

Buildings With Secrets

In the game there are a lot of "secrets" within some buildings. Below is listed the places that are sure to pay you off really well.

Building Secret #1

In the north-west part of the Cemetary there is a tombstone that you can move which will drop you back inside the sewers beneath Hyrule Castle. Head back to the huge well-lit room. When you were rescuing Zelda, you didn't have Bombs or Pegasus Boots, but now that you do, go investigate those strange cracks in the wall that you saw. One of the chests hidden in this secret room is sure to make you very happy.

	Building Secret #2
	This is the first of two houses in the Village of Outcasts that houses a chest. It's not much of a secret, since the chest is just sitting inside, but some people I guess are too lazy to check inside the houses. This one is located on the eastern side of the village.

	Building Secret #3
	This second house mentioned should be fairly familiar. In the Light World it is a shop. In the Dark World, it's closed off. You have to open it up with a bomb. It's a tight fit inside, but it's worth it.

Extra Not-So Big Secrets

Wait, what... you are still looking for money even when the secrets above should have given you a total of 1500 Rupees? Wow, big spenders, aren't we. Don't worry, even more secrets. One that's sure to keep you coming back for more, even.

	Extra Bonus Secret #1
	The famous Chris Houlihan room! With 225 Rupees, it's almost worth trying to figure out how to discover it. Thankfully, here at MCLoZ, we tell you how you should be able to find this lovely room. Click this link: Chris Houlihan's Secret Room.

Extra Bonus Secret #2

This is the #1 best secret. Not because it gives you the biggest pay off but because you can do it as many times as you want. Go to the eastern ice cave, where you went to find the Ice Rod, and go inside the cave that Link is facing in the picture. Once inside, you will see a Fairy Statue. Make sure to have a bottle free. Ram into the statue and use your bug net to catch a glowing bee! It's the mysterous Magic Bee! Take it to the Bottle Salesman in Kakariko Village, release it and talk to him. He will pay you 100 Rupees for it!

Extra Bonus Secret #3

Ok, ok, this secret only gives you 20 Rupees, but it's funny and surprisingly, not many people notice it. In Kakariko Village, enter the house on the left side of town where one of the "Cry-Thief" ladies reside. Go inside and look at the picture. It's a Mario Cameo! And usually in most Zelda games, whenever there's a Mario Cameo, there's a secret Rupee to be gotten. All you have to do is pull on the picture.
