Notes about rupee route and dungeon order

You need to collect at least 1 extra rupee by the time you buy the Smooth Gem and at least 51 extra rupees by the end of Hyrule to rent all the items (you will get these mostly from RNG enemy drops in dungeons). There are an optional 28 rupees after Flippers and 5 before Master Sword that you can get if your rupee count is low. If you want to avoid all rupee RNG, you should skip the hidden room in Eastern Palace and get both silver rupees in Eastern Palace escape.

Dungeon order in both Hyrule and Lorule is up to preference, with certain restrictions. The route follows the most common order, but a full breakdown of dungeon order routing is at the bottom of the route page.
