The rough exchange rate of $0.62 per rupee was calculated using an average of broadly comparable products.Sure, you could sell Luminous Stones but there's better use for them! | © Nintendo via EarlyGame Collect Poop Crucial information like the weights of goods are unknown and the exchange rate varies depending on what product is examined, with some like butter or fresh milk yielding a less favorable rate than goods like bananas or eggs. Given the numerous differences between the real world and Zelda’s world, precise comparisons are tricky. Many top tier titles for Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox now retail at this price point or above, sometimes even if they’re versions for the previous generation of console. The increasing prices, particularly above the $70 mark, on even a select few titles comes amid a broader transition to more expensive gaming in recent years. Nintendo has stressed this does not mark the genesis of a new pricing standard for Switch games and will only be suggested for specific titles. Tears of the Kingdom is also the first time Nintendo has listed a Switch game with a price tag of $70, a notable jump from the previous standard of $60. In three days, Tears of the Kingdom sold around a fifth the number of copies as the top title, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which has shifted nearly 54 million copies since release in 2017 and its predecessor Breath of the Wild sits in fourth place. Nintendo’s Super Mario and Pokémon franchises dominate this list, claiming seven of the ten spots. Given the sales in its first three days, Tears of the Kingdom is almost certain to break into the list of Nintendo’s top ten best selling Switch games. It managed this as an exclusive title for what is now a relatively antiquated console, the Nintendo Switch, and as a game that places an increasingly rare focus on single-player play. Putting this staggering figure into context, in just three days Tears of the Kingdom sold a third as many copies as its predecessor Breath of the Wild has since it launched in 2017 and around a tenth of the total number of Zelda games that had ever sold before it, a figure Nintendo says was more than 130 million copies at the end of March.

That’s how many units of Tears of the Kingdom sold worldwide in the three days after the game launched on May 12, according to Nintendo, making it the fastest selling game in the nearly 40 year history of the Zelda franchise. In the few weeks since it launched in mid May, the game has already proven to be a solid commercial hit and, much like its predecessor Breath of the Wild in 2017, is expected to scoop up many of the gaming industry’s most coveted accolades this awards season, notably Game of the Year. From the gate, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has managed to meet and exceed expectations, wowing fans and garnering rave reviews from critics. News PegĪs the direct sequel to what is widely considered one of the best games ever made, the bar for Nintendo’s next installment in its beloved Zelda franchise was exceptionally high. Diamonds are worth around $310 in Tears of the Kingdom, sapphires $160, rubies $70, topaz $50 and opal $20. Compared to the real world, however, precious gems seem to be an absolute steal in Hyrule. Diamonds are the exception to this rule of depreciation and are worth 500 rupees in both games. Prices for opal (30 rupees), amber (10), topaz (80), ruby (110) and sapphire (150) also plummeted, respectively down from 60 rupees, 30 rupees, 180 rupees, 210 rupees and 260 rupees in the earlier game. Luminous stones sell for just 20 rupees in Tears of the Kingdom, around $12, less than a third of the 70 rupees they sold for in Breath of the Wild. In particular, Hyrule’s gemstone market has collapsed in the six years between the release of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, though mining materials is still a great way for Link to farm rupees. It appears it's getting harder and harder to make money in Hyrule, the fictional kingdom that serves as the setting for most Zelda games.

It’s possible to buy back broken, lost or mistakenly sold items like the Hylian shield or armor like the miner’s, ember or mystic sets, but doing so will cost around $2,500.
