This page aims to list all the rupee farming spots that are useful for rando. It's still a work in progress so keep that in mind. I currently can't test things in-game so a lot of details related to availability will need confirmation. They will be marked as such. Feedback and help are appreciated. :) Feel free to reformat this page as desired.

Zora's River
Nearby locations where you might need rupees: Bean salesman, Zora's River scrub grotto, Diving minigame, Zora's Domain shop, Jabu Jabu scrub, Lost Woods checks, Lake Hylia checks.
- There are 3 [needs confirmation] red rupees in the water below the Zora's Domain waterfall. Can be gotten without Iron Boots with precise jumps. Adult only. [pretty sure they dont spawn as child but needs confirmation]
- Playing top-row songs (except for Song of Storms) for the frogs gives you 50 rupees per song. Child only.
- A blue rupee and a red rupee can be found near the bean salesman as shown on the image below. Jump into the waterfall for the blue rupee, and swim downstream in the center of the river for the red rupee. These respawn when reloading Zora's River or when crossing the wooden bridge near Zora's Domain. [needs confirmation on adult availability]
Zora's Domain
Nearby locations where you might need rupees: Diving minigame, Zora's Domain shop, Jabu Jabu scrub.
- There are 6 rupees in pots opposite the shop. They respawn when entering the shop. It's incredibly slow and not recommended unless you're close to your required number of rupees.
- There's a red rupee in a bee hive on the ceiling in the room with King Zora. Requires the Boomerang to get. [needs confirmation on adult availability].
- For large numbers of rupees you're better off farming in Zora's River.
Lake Hylia
Nearby locations where you might need rupees: Fishing, Lake Hylia scrub grotto, Hyrule Field scrub grotto.
- There are 3 red rupees in the lab (requires Gold Scale or Iron Boots)
- You can cut grass for rupees but it's incredibly slow and not recommended unless you're close to your required number of rupees.
Gerudo Fortress
Nearby locations where you might need rupees: Opening GTG, doing HBA, Gerudo Valley scrub grotto, the carpet salesman, Lake Hylia checks.
- There are rupee pots outside the carpenter jails. [needs confirmation on which ones]. Respawn upon reloading the area.
- There's a purple rupee in a box above the jail. Getting there without clipping thru the jail ceiling is kind of a drag so the other rupee spot is recommended over this one. [needs confirmation about availability: does it respawn if you reload the area? what if you save warp?)
