Malo Mart
Malo Mart is a shop in Twilight Princess. Its flagship store, located in Kakariko Village, is owned and operated by Malo. Later on, once enough funds are donated, Malo Mart buys out Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium in Castle Town to establish the Malo Mart Castle Branch.
Features and Overview
Malo Mart is originally a run-down shop in Kakariko Village known as Kakariko Goods. When Malo finds it, he decides to reopen the shop as his own.[1] Although he can be a bit rude,[2] he likes to keep his prices low and serve his customers well, hoping to be a financial "hero."[3] Malo Mart is the only place where Link can purchase the Hawkeye and the Hylian Shield.
Later on, Malo Mart starts accepting donations to take over Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium and thus stop the "corrupt, price-gouging shops" in Castle Town.[4] To do so, the Malo Mart Management must first fix the bridge connecting east Castle Town to Hyrule Field, which can only be done if Link donates 1,000 Rupees. After he delivers the Hot Spring Water to the Goron near the east Castle Town entrance, Link must then donate another 200 Rupees to open the Castle Branch.
Afterwards, the Castle Town Malo Mart opens up in Hyrule Castle Town, which is run by a now much more cheerful Chudley, who had subsequently changed his name to Malver. The shop has very low prices and is very lively with energetic music, shoppers, and a kitschy decor. Once it opens, many of the citizens of Castle Town start carrying Malo Mart bags. Inside, Link can buy the Magic Armor, which was also sold at Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium at an unpayable price.
In Twilight Princess HD, the Malo Mart Stamp is added to the store as well. It replaces the Arrows temporarily on the shelf, which return once the Stamp is bought.
