While there are tons of different types of resources to collect, the only two that really matter are rupees and weapons. You'll want to get weapons to fuse to level up your favorite weapon, and you'll need a lot of rupees to pay for the smelting fee at the blacksmith. That makes sense, doesn't it?
The problem is, both can take a long time to gain. This is why I am going to explain to you the basics of farming against rupees and weapons. At the start of the game, it doesn't have to be, but when you're near the end of the game, you'll need all the cash and unwanted weapons you can get your hands on.
