Rupee farming in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake looks a bit different than you might be used to if you played the N64 original or any of its later ports. The most common method in older versions of the game — getting some red rupees above the Castle Town drawbridge — doesn't work anymore. However, there are several other quick and straightforward ways to fill your wallet, whatever size it is.
Below, we break down the best ways to farm rupees in Ocarina of Time remake.
Early in the game, your best bet for rupee farming is scooping up bugs in empty bottles and selling them to the Buyer, which is the man in Hyrule Castle Town who's fanatical about creatures in bottles. He's sitting on the ground across from the Shooting Gallery and slapping the ground with his palms. He'll pay 20 rupees per beetle.
Bugs live under rocks and bushes in various parts of Hyrule, but when you're playing as young Link in the past, the best location to get a bunch of bugs is this spot in northeastern Hyrule Field, near Kakariko Village. You'll notice a Song of Storms bloom, but you can ignore that for now, since the Song of Storms is something you'll only learn in the future. (It leads to a cave with a rupee reward, but it's also full of ReDeads — not a great place for kids!)
Bugs live in the plants and shrubs that surround the Song of Storms plant.
