How to make money in Zelda Breath of The Wild

The best way to make money is to visit a certain gambling den. It’s located in Lurelin Village, in the southeast of the East Necluda region (west of the Necluda sea). Once there, look for a house across the road from the merchant. It’s the one with jewels on the board above the door. Inside, you’ll find a suspicious bald character and three chests. He’ll let you play what amounts to a shell game.



You only need 10 rupees to start, but ideally, you’ll arrive with at least a hundred. The highest bet you can make is 100 rupees. When you place your bet, he’ll hide the cash in one of the chests. If you’re lucky, you can triple your money. So here’s how you should approach it:

  1. Save your progress.
  2. Talk to him.
  3. Choose the 100 rupees option.
  4. If you at least return your investment, continue playing.
  5. If you don’t, reload and try again.

The results are random – there’s no way to know where the money will be, but the rounds are pretty quick. We made about 3000 rupees in 20 minutes, but have heard of others with even better luck. It’s boring, and it can be a pain, but if it’s money you’re looking for, this is the way to get it.

Snowling mini game

If you’re into bowling, you can try snow bowling as a way to make money in Zelda BoTW. Travel to Hebra Tower, at the foot of Hebra mountain in the northwestern corner of the map. Just a bit northeast from the tower, you’ll see a cottage called Pondo’s Lodge. Talk to the man in front. He’ll offer you a chance to bowl with his giant snowball, but you’ll have to pay 20 rupees per try. Use the stasis power to launch the snowball. If you manage to take down all the pins with your first throw, you’ll earn 300 rupees.

Super Gut Climbing Game

According to our reader Matt, the climbing game you can find north of Death Mountain, in the northeastern part of the map, is an amazing way to make money. The game requires you to climb up a cliff and collect as much rupees as you can in under 3 minutes. For the best results, you’ll need to come prepared – get the complete Climbing Gear and make sure you have enough stamina. You can swap hearts for stamina for this occasion – the investment is worth it. If you get all the rupees on the cliff, you’ll end up with a net profit of 750. We haven’t tried it out, but it sounds like a great way to earn money – although you can’t rely on it early on.
