Ravio's Shop

Ravio's Shop is a location in.

Features and Overview
Ravio's Shop is located inside Link's House. Ravio begins renting items from within Link's House shortly after Link allows him to move in, but he completely rearranges the young hero's home after Link returns the Smooth Gem to Oren. Once Link's House has been rearranged, Ravio begins to rent out various items, which Link needs in order to travel Hyrule and Lorule. Ravio's first item that he gives Link is the Rented Bow, free of charge. After Link rescues Osfala from the Thieves' Hideout, he hands Link the Sand Rod but explains that it is not his to give, as he rented it from Ravio. When the young hero returns from the Chamber of the Sages, Sheerow will swoop in and take it from Link. If Link returns to Ravio's Shop, Ravio will tell him that one of his other customers has finally returned the Sand Rod and that it is now available.

The rental period for Ravio's items is indefinite, though if Link dies while carrying rented items, Ravio's pet bird, Sheerow, will retrieve them and Link will have to rent them once more. After Link obtains the three Pendants of Virtue, Ravio begins to sell the items in his shop in addition to renting them. These items are considerably more expensive to purchase, but they will not be taken away should Link die. After Link purchases all of Ravio's items, Ravio celebrates and thanks the young hero for finding him so many Rupees before permanently shutting down his Shop and retiring.

Ravio occasionally offers discounts on item rentals, roughly reducing the cost to half; items that cost 50 Rupees to rent will instead cost 20 Rupees. When Link first purchases an item, Ravio will give the young hero a one-time half-price discount on that item.

Trivia

 * When Ravio redecorates Link's House, he replaces the red carpet on the floor with a purple duplicate to match his color scheme. The red carpet can be seen rolled up against the fireplace in the back of Ravio's Shop.
 * The pots sitting against the wall of the house also disappear after Ravio moves in - this actually serves as a subtle foreshadowing that he is Link's Lorulean counterpart, as one of Link's trademark mannerisms is breaking pots in other peoples' houses.
