Town Tool Shopkeeper
Template:Character The Town Tool Shopkeeper is the owner of the Mabe Village Tool Shop in Link's Awakening.
The shopkeeper at Koholint Island sells items that are necessary for Link to complete his quest (including the Deluxe Shovel and the Bow). Link can either pay for them or decide to steal them, if he is ready to face the consequences. To steal an item, Link must pick it up and walk out the shop's door while the shop owner's back is turned away from the door instead of taking it to the counter.[1] If he sets foot again in the shop, the shopkeeper blasts Link with a magical electric beam that instantly kills him.[2] Upon saving, Link will respawn in the shop and be able to visit there again.
Trivia
- If Link steals something from the Town Tool Shop, he would be called "THIEF" instead of the player's chosen name by all characters for the rest of his journey.
- The magic beam used by the Town Tool Shopkeeper is similar to one used by Agahnim in A Link to the Past.
