Just started the game and it’s so much fun! I just got sage of wind but I’m still wearing only snow greaves. Wondering how I can get rupees to buy the armor that’s sold in town. Thanks!

    By far the most accessible option I found after a decent internet search was the ridiculously huge apple orchard you find on Satori Mountain, east of Central Hyrule, right next to Sonapan Shrine. A full harvest will give you about 150 apples & a few golden apples. If you cook all of these into meals (5 apples together) you can make a bunch selling them. Keep the console powered on next to you for about half an hour and they will all respawn and you can just do it over and over. And you never have to worry about having enough food!

    Bonus tip: Farm arrows from the Battle Talus outside Saharsa Slope Skyview Tower southeast of the castle.

    Bonus bonus tip: Chopping grass with your weapon anywhere in Hyrule Field has a decent chance of getting you a Restless Cricket. Cook four of them with a monster part of your choice for a full stamina circle elixir.

    I haven’t found a need to farm anything other than the above so far.

      To help with apple farming, you can drop 21 apples on the ground and fuse them all together, and then save that to your autobuild favorites.

      Once saved, you just need to select the apple cluster from your autobuild menu and then hover around the trees, and the apples will automatically jump into position. Then just cancel the autobuild, and they’ll all drop neatly into a pile for you. Makes clearing out the orchard at Satori Mountain a breeze.

        Just to add to this, make sure to include a few golden apples in the cluster, so autobuild will pull them from the trees too.

    If you feel like glitching, dupe diamonds. The shield hop dupe glitch will let you dupe 5 at a time.

    It made me a bit nostalgic for the Elder Scrolls method of having each merchant having only so much money to buy from you with, which limits tricks like that. I’m dubious that Beedle really had 5000 rupees for me.

    Just play the game— find, make, and sell stuff. It’s a really fun and well balanced experience as-is IMO, go do other thing if current thing not doable.
