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

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!
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?
Ibrahim 300 h
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
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
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”
Forget emerald.

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
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
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

"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

*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.
We NEED more collaboration videos from MatPat and PBG
Me: *sees number at end* :O
*Starts smashing pots rapidly*
Wow, so much talking about gemstones without a single Steven Universe reference.
That takes some willpower.
+Kellosian no it doesn't
Dude it's a Zelda theory not Steven universe
+Kellosian am I the only one who agrees with you
Totally
+Firegoat328 eh, you don't have to like it. It's cool.
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!
It’s 2024 and this content is still amazing. Love Game Theory. Love MattPatt. Love PBG. Love life.
7:25 If you didn’t notice, Wario fingers you when he leaves the screen.
I am learning so much about Steven Universe right now

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
4:00 Garnet approves this video: Rubies and Sapphires are made of Corundrum AND Love.
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.
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 really love the intro to these videos. Like REALLY FREAKING LOVE IT. It fills me with DETERMINATION!
*Clears throat.* Erm... Adventure. It fills me with an adventurous feeling.
nice UT refrence
@@johnathanmorris3380 thank
having a super old binge of game theory. so wholesome, i love it
I want the game theory intro as a ring tone. Its awesome
Cheers Ill see if I can find it =)
use a CZcams clip converter online and download this video then crop it into the intro and place it as a ringtone
+FF sake It not hard to make a ringtone from a youtube clip
+FF sake best name ever 8/8 - IGN
+FF sake Galaxy owl03 left a comment further down saying:
I DONT KNOW WHO SAID IT SORRY BUT THERE IS A GAME THEORY RING TONE
Then later in the replies he sent:
Check out this ringtone from @Zedge zedge.net/r1710947?src=a&v=4.20.1 #ZEDGE #ringtone
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
Imagine link in the hood selling cristal rupies
I feel like that you're missing something MatPat
the rarity of the "Rupies" in the game
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
**is still waiting for that dating sim video**
Along side Half Life 3

+Joel150 A few theories back I commented that I'm going to be nagging on every new episode. I'm really pushing for it!
+Joel150 he realized there was nothing there
technically, Culture Shock covered that, but a GT is also a good one
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.
One problem: inflation.
These things and sapphires would be worth a LOT less.
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
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?)

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.

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.

+Xanman I know right!
What if Zelda rupees are ya know... just rupees... the indian currency, is just me who thinks this?

yes, yes I do
+Lilliath You mean they don't?!?
+cortster12 .. I always though the same thing.

Its cool your colabing with one of my favorite youtubers
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.
Yea well obviously they are real. The Rupee is the currency of India.
Not curnecy gems
but there is a difference between rupees and rupies
+david delgado what are rupies?
+Zachary Erickson (twilightwindwaker) yeah well i thought they were going to talk about why different colors of rupees are different values and take up different space in your wallet. we were both disappointed werent we

+Gary Cocker we aren't talking about the game "I'm scared" , we are talking about the CZcams series "don't hug me,I'm scared"
ou....
green is not a creative color
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.
2:39 I might have went to home and heard that paper crunch I thought a zombie thing happened so I replayed it
One of my 2 favorite CZcamsr collab yessssss!
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.
he was using real life prices
But in IRL you can't find them in bushes, yes?
in in real life? also, good point
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.

+William New He should come out of the closet, really. I mean it's almost 2016, it's okay to come out.
haha, I'm watching this 3 years late and the dude at the intro said that he made a vid 3 years prior. xD
6:24 I can dis-prove this part. Light and Shadows.
So, look at a lego, close to a light, and make sure your holding it, and have a side facing your light. Good! Now move your hand around a bit. See how the shine on the lego moves? The shine tries to follow the light, same for the rupees because they are not see-through.
What about the shadows you ask? Well, the rest of the lego would be not getting enough light to reflect the room... so basically, the other side of the rupee is darker.
In a 4 second video: Yes. They are actually a currency.
+AquariusShockGaming Smash Bros. And More! actually india's currency is rupees
+AquariusShockGaming Smash Bros. And More! The Rupee is an official currency in: India, Nepal, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Seychelles and the Maldives.
Ugh I was just about to comment this they r as valuable as our money
+FTWGamer ZELDA Rupees. I really don't think giant gems would be worth the same as real life rupees anyways
+ComanderScar They would be cheaper because you can find them literally everywhere. In the grass, stuck to monsters, at the bottom of pots, in chests, or even just lying on the ground.

Morsu: You want it? It’s your’s my friend, as long as you have enough rubies.
Zelda breath of the indoors slaps this theory in its face
Did anybody else think about SU.., no? Just me? Ok
+Rustynorris9000 Nah, same. I'm supriside they didn't do a reference to the show.
Lol ur not alone
When he said Ruby and Sapphire I freaking lost it
Me too
+Jake Schindler Who didn't lose it? Or at least, what fan of the show wouldn't?
Haha, by scientific standards, you really are just Game Hypothesizer.
Hypothesizing is guessing what would happen in an experiment based on evidence you know
A theory is what you imagine could happen with evidence already known and can't be technically proven wrong and also can't technically be proven correctly... Soooooo nope, theorist works.

+Josh Boggs No, not really
We will miss you matpat
The intro about ben drowning legit scared me as a little kid because it was midnight and I just wanted to see if rupies existed, not get a jumpscare
This video is based off the assumption that the value of rubies is the same in their world as it is in ours. Rubies are largely valued because of their scarcity (although they have some scientific applications, these are things we can dismiss in the Zelda universe), but there's not any guarantee that corundum is as scarce in the Zelda universe as it is in ours. The value of a rupee at $13,492,488.75 is what it would be worth in this universe (also not what it would sell for, since finding a buyer for a single uncut gemstone of that size would be really tricky), but it could be that their only (or at least primary) worth in the Zelda universe is for their fiat value (the value ascribed to them by central governing bodies). And yes, I spend far too long thinking about video game economics as well.
He is talking about if we somehow found an exact copy of a rupee, how much cash we'd get from selling it
There is a real-life currency called Rupee, I think?
indias currency
Yes. Ja. Ja. Oui. Ken.

What about silver rupees?
They’re worth 100 ripped and gold ones are worth 300
Here’s a list,I think I got it wrong but this is based off of what I remember
Green:1
Red:10
Blue:20
Purple:50
Silver:100
Gold:300
ゴンザレスデアンドレ the value of the blue and red are swapped as red are usually worth 20 while blue are actually worth 5. Also there are yellow rupees which are worth 10.
I just learned more math than I've ever learned in school. Ever.
Guess you weren't paying attention in 8th grade math...
+GABEAF2001 7th , because 8th is algebra

Wait, but when link pulls out a rupee from a chest it looks way smaller, in fact those fit in his hand
+Drakan R
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.
Clicked on this video and saw an ad about rupees that covered literally every topic in the video
Watched your “Been Drowning”
Me: (pulls out drums) BA-DOOM CHANG!!!
Also:
Matpat, ya got roasted by PBG.
"SAPPHIRE! WE-WE'RE CURRENCY!!"
"...I saw this as a possibility, but I am surprised this is the path we're taking."
I see what you did there. 😂
Jet H. Stream the Buizel STEVEN UNIVERSE!
Jet H. Stream the Buizel corundum is the 2nd strongest mineral that is know so why is garnet formed when they fuse?
Jet H. Stream the Buizel XD LOL

Sapphire and Ruby *waits for Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, and STEVEN*
Oh look he said Garnet
+magicmike191v2 nice reply to your own comment fam
+magicmike191v2 IKR! Yellow Diamond next episode confirmed??? XD
+magicmike191v2 Words cannot express how much I love you right now.
Aww, thanks! Steven Universe Fandom FTW!
I love PBG it’s cool you did a collab with him!
There is only one problem that i can see in this theory. Rarity. If a gem is commonly found and the common shine is what link is carrying then It isn't that expensive in his universe. Yes to have a "rupee" in our universe it would be that expensive... However you can't say link is paying that much for the bombs because rupees are so common that it isn't like your parting with millions of dollars for five bombs.
+Ziluth I thought the point was to say that how much one rupee would be worth in our world. Of course they're not worth THAT much in the Zelda universe. They're everywhere.
i was thinking the same thing but that brings up another question. why arent ther more rupies floating around for decoration. if theyr that common people should probly be throwing them out with the trash or hoarding them. realisticly this destroys the economy of the game because money is worthless. if theres no money then all cost is based on arbitrary numbers. this means that they hold other real world value. the only thing i can think of is to sustain life. if all sentient species accept rupees as payment i can only conclude that they all stem from a common ancester. a species that has evolved over millenia according to the location that they chose to live in
that's right. Now let's take this thought further. Link's magical world has an abundance of shiny minerals scattered around the land.
every 3 meters you walk, dig or swim, there will be at least 1 heavy green crystal of hexagonal shape.
Beyond making the world alive, warm, smart and leaving behind the triforce, the goddesses felt something was missing. So they scattered these shiny minerals accross their creation, making it a natural catwalk for their eventual return.
+Ziluth It was like that with some other commodities as well. Pepper per pound was worth more than gold per pound. But now because it more abundant it not as expensive.
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
He didn't do it for Hyrule though
He did it for our real world equivalent
That's something you've always gotta remember when watching these
+Taylor Allen but he should not have done that, as the way currency their works is unknown. we may know about the multi colored rupees but not their value, or if their even real. they could be cheaper than paper money to produce
my thought exactly
Hes just talking about HERE
+Kevin Cunningham You're right, but that's kind of uncalled for.
Dude, I have no idea what your friends talking about but I love it!

*hits like button*
Btw that closet look familiar tho XD
This video makes me so happy. The first video I watched of MatPat's was actually the diamond armor video and while I love all of his theories I think the ones where he just gets down and does math and still my favorites. Thanks MatPat for an excellent video.
+Maxrimus Thank YOU for watching me get nerdy with MATH :)
+The Game Theorists matpat, even with the epic music you still cannot make math badass.
Theres more than one series. MatPat does the Game theory series, while Gaijin does Culture Shock, and Drake does Smash History.
Assasinpiggles Incorrect sir. Math is already badass, the music just increases it's badassery.
+Maxrimus Same tome buddy. The first episode I watched was about people inside the Companion Cube in Portal. Episodes with math are my favourite since the first time I arrived at this channel I thought that was logic in video games sort of content.
