In, the Merchant is the owner 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.

Trivia

 * 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.
