Shop

,            also known as Stores,    or   are a recurring variety of location in.

Features and Overview
<!-- This idea was only ever used again in, in which Link is able to steal from Trill's Shop.

As in, included multiple shops that each sold different items. One new addition was the Happy Mask Shop, which functioned very differently from shops seen previously in the series. Rather than buying the masks upfront, Link had to borrow them and then sell them himself, before paying the price of the mask back to the shop's owner, the Happy Mask Salesman. Doing this would allow Link to borrow the mask again for free whenever he wished.

The shop system seen in was very similar to the one seen in, with a couple of new additions. The first of these was the Curiosity Shop, which sold stolen goods. Here, Link could purchase items that were stolen from other people, such as the Big Bomb Bag, which was stolen from the Old Lady from Bomb Shop by Sakon. He could also purchase his own items here if they were stolen by the Takkuri. The second new addition was the Milk Bar, which only sold Milk and Chateau Romani. However, in order to enter, Link must have obtained Romani's Mask, which is used as proof of membership.

Types of Shop
Most of the shops in fall under one of the following varieties.

General Shop

For example, in the Kokiri Shop sells Deku Shields whereas the OoT: sells Hylian Shields, due to its later appearance in the game.

Bomb Shop

Merchant
Not to be confused with the specific Merchants from the first game, merchants are people who specialize in selling only one type of item, or one group of items. Examples include Crazy Tracy from, who only sells Secret Medicine, the Carpet Merchant from , who only sells Bombchus, and the Moonlight Merchant from SS undefined, who only sells Treasure. They are uncommon in comparison to most other forms of shop, and are often found in hard-to-reach locations, or require certain criteria to be met in order for Link to be able to buy from them.

Trading Post
Trading Posts are shops that use a bartering system rather than simply selling goods, and first appeared in and. They are perhaps the least common recurring variety of shop in the series. Examples include the Tokay Traders and Subrosia Market appearing in and  respectively, which require Link to trade Mystical Seeds for items.
