Biography
Breath of the Wild
Cleff is a Zora shopkeep that runs the Coral Reef at the Marot Mart in Zora's Domain. He is known to have a serious demeanor, in contrast with his sister Tona's excitable personality.[1] When he is first spoken to, Cleff will welcome Link and explain that the General Store sells Swift Violets, which can help one run faster.[4] He also shares that they sell Arrows, encouraging Link to grab whatever he wants to buy.[5]
If Link asks about the Coral Reef, Cleff explains that it is a General Store where one can buy fresh Fish.[6] While they do sell Arrows, due to the Zora's weakness to Electricity, they do not stock Shock Arrows.[7]
When asked about business, Cleff will admit that things have not been great.[8] He initially tells Link that he is worried about the Coral Reef's business, since there are not many travelers coming to Zora's Domain to make purchases.[9] After Divine Beast Vah Ruta has been calmed, Cleff will remark that business is improving, and he no longer believes that he will have to close his General Store.[10]
Cleff will accept any Items that Link wants to sell to him, encouraging him to take his time choosing what to sell.[11][12][13][14] As they do business, Cleff will be grateful and ask Link if he wants to sell more Items.[15][16][17][18] When Link ends their business at night, Cleff warns him to be careful going out after dark.[19]
