Biography
Hyrule
The Lakeside Item Seller in Hyrule owns a shop on the lake front of Lake Hylia. He is not very social, and does not have much to say if Link speaks with him. If spoken to again, he expresses dislike being in the area, and finds the "sporty fellow" and "weird creature in the cave" outside to be particularly bothersome.[1]

Lorule
The Lakeside Item Seller in Lorule owns a shop on the lake front of the Turtle Rock area. Unlike his Hyrulean counterpart, he is much more sociable and welcomes Link to his store. He has a habit of saying "Ay lliw nihtemos yub", which he believes to be an incantation that will save him and transport him out of Lorule.[2] He knows about the Maiamais, and that they are able to travel between worlds.[3] He hopes to find one so that he can leave Lorule.[4]
He is one of several Loruleans to wear a mask, implying that he may be a Masked Follower.
