Ravio

Ravio is a character in.

Biography
Ravio operates a shop inside of Link's House known as Ravio's Shop, where Link may rent and eventually purchase various items that are critical to reaching and completing certain dungeons. Most items are available from Ravio's Shop near the beginning of the game, allowing Link to proceed through the dungeons in a non-linear fashion. After Link obtains all three Pendants of Virtue, Ravio begins to sell the items that he rents out as well. After Link leaves the shop following this, Ravio tells him of the Quick Equip ability.

After Link purchases all of the items in Ravio's Shop, Ravio thanks the young hero for bringing him so many Rupees and decides to close his shop and enter retirement. In his retirement, Ravio can be found laying on the floor of Link's House, philosophizing over various things. Consequently, every time Link enters Ravio's Shop, Ravio will be laying on the floor saying something different, usually how his outlook on life has changed since retirement. He will also sing, claiming that it's been a long time since he was in the mood for singing.

At the Game's close, he is revealed to be Link's Lorulean counterpart. Ravio is originally from Lorule. He served Princess Hilda along with Yuga until they decided to take Hyrule's Triforce. Lacking the courage to confront them himself, Ravio fled to Hyrule in search of a hero that could stop them.

Trivia

 * Satoru Iwata has noted that many fans have compared Ravio to Nabbit from the Super Mario series, but dismissed it as an unintentional coincidence.
 * The fact that Ravio is dressed as a purple bunny parallels to that of when Link entered the Dark World in and became Bunny Link.
 * When Link approaches his bag with a Rupee symbol on it in Link's house, he frantically stops Link, saying there's something "more important than life itself" inside.
