How to unlock Holes and Rupees? Minigame location
The Holes and Rupees minigame is totally optional and can be skipped if you can't find it yourself. Unlike other minigames, this one does not unlock automatically as you progress through the story , but you have to locate it .
- Holes and Rupees can be found in a hidden area of the Eldin Volcano region , inside a cave.
- On your first visit to the volcano, you can already unlock access to Holes and rupees.
- Specifically, the position of the cave of Holes and rupees in the Eldin volcano is that of the following image :

- This will lead you to a Bokoblins camp . The first time you arrive here in the story you will have to knock down a watchtower with a bomb flower to create a bridge.
- If you look, on the north face of this camp just where there are two bomb flowers on the ground you will see a wall of rocks that you can explode if you throw a bomb at it.
By breaking the rocks that block the passage you will open the access to a cave in which is the moguma Nabucco , the manager of the Holes and Rupees minigame.

The first time you visit the cave of Hoyos and rupees, the Moguma Nabucco will already explain the general rules of the minigame; It basically consists of a minesweeper lifelong , that is, you will have a field full of holes in which you can dig to get rupees of different amounts. But, be careful, you run the risk that in one of the holes you will find a bomb , which ends with the minigame.

Holes and Rupees: Tips and Tricks to Win
Obviously, the difficulty of Holes and Rupees is that no bomb explodes in the holes, something quite complex. Of course, part of chance and luck comes into play when you participate in this minigame, since it is impossible to know where there will be a bomb or where a rupee.
However, there are a few tricks that you should keep in mind to make dodging the bombs much more likely , because depending on the rupee you get from a hole you can advance by calculating your steps:
- If you take a green rupee out of a hole: you can dig in all the holes around it because none of them will have a bomb.
- If you draw a blue rupee from a hole: there will be 1 or 2 holes around it that will contain a bomb or a rot.
- If you draw a red rupee from a hole: there will be 3 or 4 holes around it that will contain a bomb or a rot.
- If you take a silver rupee out of a hole: there will be 5 or 6 holes around it that will contain a bomb or a rot.
- If you draw a golden rupee from a hole: there will be 7 or 8 holes around it that will contain a bomb or a rot.
As you can see, thanks to this little trick you can better intuit which holes are bombs or rot , which will give you a better chance of winning a good amount of rupees before the game is over or even if you have the luck of your life. Don't let a single bomb explode until you clean the holes with rupees.
Oh, and while we are here, we tell you another curiosity. In the cave of Holes and Rupees you can shoot with the Slingshot at some diamond crystals that are on the walls so that they drop rupees. Be careful because some also release rot that you are not interested in picking up.
