Wallet Upgrade #1, Holds Up To 1,000 Rupees
The firstZelda: The Wind WakerWallet upgrade is the Bigger Wallet. This upgrade will massively increase the total number of Rupees Link can hold from the default 200 to a whopping 1,000. This will allow Link to purchase more expensive items than normal, such as the Heart Piece that Beedle sells for 950 Rupees on his Shop Ship just outside of Rock Spire Isle (on tile B-3).
To find the Bigger Wallet upgrade,Wind Wakerplayers shouldreturn to Link’s home village on Outset Island.
Once you reach the forest, look for a destructible rock. Destroy this with a bomb and jump into the hole that is revealed to find a Great Fairy. The Great Fairy will give Link the Bigger Wallet and refill his Hearts.
Always keep an empty Bottle on hand when you visit a Great Fairy Fountain. There are usually multiple Fairies floating around the central fountain, which you can collect. These can be consumed to instantly heal Link to full HP, but they will also automatically activate if he reaches 0 Hearts.
