Barnes

Barnes is the owner of the Bomb Shop in Kakariko Village in Twilight Princess. He panics easily and is kind of a blabbermouth but all in all he's a good person and at times is rather funny.

Biography
Barnes appears at first inside Renado's sanctuary, hidden along with the children of Ordon, Luda and Renado himself, while the entirety of the Eldin Province is covered by the influence of the Twilight. When Link purges the province from darkness, Barnes discovers that his bomb store has been destroyed (Link had to make it explode in order to find all the Tears of Light), so he has to start making new bombs before reopening his shop. As the game progresses, he manages to recover his lineup of products, including:


 * Regular Bombs: these multipurpose bombs are the default and the very first shipment of bombs Barnes receives upon reopening his shop. Although Link can have up to 30 bombs per bomb bag, these bombs cannot be used underwater. Special to Twilight Princess: these bombs can be used along with arrows to create hybrid Bomb Arrows, used to destroy elevated loose rock, or aerial enemies.
 * Water Bombs: Right before Link is required to venture into the Lakebed Temple, Barnes receives a supply of these. Unlike default regular bombs, these are specially designed to be used underwater, as their watertight leather covering keeps the bomb igniter from the water. These can be used on land and hybridized with arrows to create bomb arrows as well.
 * Bomblings: Originally seen in the Forest Temple, Barnes receives a supply of these after Link completes the Lakebed Temple. Bomblings are used for far away explosions, as the bug, when targeted on an enemy, rock or other point of interest, will follow/walk up to the object and destroy it, similar to some sort of homing device. These can be hybridized with arrows as well, but can only be used on land.

Trivia

 * Barnes bears a resemblance, at least in terms of hairstyle, to Bomb-Master Cannon, the bombseller from The Wind Waker.
 * Barnes's name may be a pun on "burns". In the European French version of the game, his name is Crahmé, an obvious pun on the French slang "cramé" (burned).
 * If Link tries to pull out his Lantern while inside Barnes' Bomb Shop, Barnes will slam his fist on the counter, (as he is afraid the fuse on the bombs will be lit), causing Link to be doused with water. If Link does this while close to Barnes, Barnes will yell at him in protest.
 * If Link enters his Bomb Shop as Wolf Link he does not get scared, but just puts his welders mask down to cover his face.
