Merchants are characters in.

Biography
Merchants can be found either in caves or underground. Their shops are located in 12 areas in the First Quest and in 15 areas in the Second Quest. The items they sell to Link and their prices vary from a merchant to another. There are four types of merchants: the ones who sell Magical Shields, Keys, and Blue Candles; Merchants who sell Magical Shields, Bombs and, Arrows; the ones who sell Magical Shields, Food, and Hearts; and only one Merchant in each quest who sells Keys, Food, and the Blue Ring.

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
The Merchant is the shopkeeper of the General Store in Sakado. He sells Zelda rope, lantern oil, and Bombs. His mannerisms suggest that he is quite sinister and greedy, and is more interested in making a profit. If Zelda does not have enough Rubies to afford something, he suggests that she fight a few Goriyas.

He is sometimes nicknamed Ushrom, I. Fleecem and "the crazy shopkeeper" by fans.

Trivia

 * Depending on which defensive ring Link wears, the clothing of the Merchants changes to match the color of Link's tunic.
 * In The Merchant's cutscene in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, a Bomb is marked with a price tag of 20.00, erroneously suggesting that cents are used as part of Gamelon's currency. The Bombs are actually priced at 20 Rubies for three.
