Once you have found Harrow Island, dock your ship and head towards the gossip stone, hitting it to find out the rules and how to play. After paying the fee of 50 Rupees, a gust of wind will appear to lead the way forward. Ride the wind up to the main digging area where you will now have a chance of uncovering 10 treasure chests. You can dig to your hearts content while only digging up earth, but as soon as you hit something and hear a ‘clink’, you will be down one chance. There are plenty of Rupees to be found out there, but there are also a few Rupoors laying around which you will want to be avoiding. The Rupees will vary in value, as will the Rupoor, so it’s always down to luck as to what you will dig up. If you play and luck is on your side, then Link is going to walk away a very rich young man, however, you may find your wallet a little empty if you keep getting those nasty Rupoor.
While digging you may encounter a strange creature named Lucky Lee. This odd ball pops up to offer you a deal. For 50 Rupees he will give you the chance to open either a small or a large treasure chest. Depending on how you choose, your luck could be in with either Rupees or up to 4 treasure maps. (A must for all you 100% completion nuts)
I’ve tried to find some sort of pattern as to where is best to dig, but it seems to be extremely random, so I wouldn’t waste any time in trying. So all I can say is… happy digging!
Rewards:
Rupees (all values)
Rupoors (all values)

Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
