'''Business Scrubs''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They attack anybody that approaches them by spitting out a [[Deku Nut]]. It is a tendency they have and usually do not mean any harm. However, if [[Link]] deflects the nut back on to them, or defeat them in any other way, this causes them to attempt to do business with or offer advice to Link. They tend to offer items such as [[Deku Stick]]s, [[Arrow]]s, [[Bomb]]s, [[Potion]]s, charging a little bit more than a local stores would. | '''Business Scrubs''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 169}} They attack anybody that approaches them by spitting out a [[Deku Nut]].

Business Scrubs are found in dungeons and | Business Scrubs are found in dungeons and [[Secret Grotto|grottos]], where they sell Link a variety of items which are usually found at stores, but at higher prices. The main exceptions to this rule are: | ||
*In a [[Hyrule Field]] [[Ocarina of Time Secret Grottos|Secret Grotto]], just outside of [[Lake Hylia]], a business scrub will sell Link a [[Piece of Heart]]. | |||
*In the [[Lost Woods]], below the bridge connecting [[Kokiri Forest]] to [[Hyrule Field]], a business scrub will sell Link a [[Deku Stick]] capacity [[Ocarina of Time Upgrades|upgrade]] for 40 [[Rupee]]s. | |||
*Also in the Lost Woods, a [[boulder]] outside the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]] conceals another grotto. Destroying the boulder with a bomb opens the grotto, which holds two Business Scrubs. The one nearer the entrance will sell Link a [[Deku Nut]] capacity upgrade for 40 [[Rupee]]s. | |||
The only ways to purchase items from Business Scrubs are to either first deflect their Deku Nuts back at them with Link's [[shield]], shoot a [[Deku Seed]] or [[Arrow]] at them, or hit them with the [[Boomerang]]. | |||
== | ==''Majora's Mask''== | ||
''Majora's Mask'' is the only game in which Business Scrubs do not appear as enemies in any capacity. Business Scrubs who are part of the [[Business Scrub Association]] are initially found in their [[Deku Flower]]s, but will move in return for a specific trading sequence item, mostly [[Title Deed]]s: | |||
*In [[South Clock Town]], near the door to [[West Clock Town]], the Business Scrub has nothing left to sell. They will trade their [[Town Title Deed|Town Land Title Deed]] to Link in any form for his [[Moon's Tear]]. This is required to complete the game, as their Deku Flower is required to access Clock Tower as Deku Link at the end of the first cycle, along with the [[Piece of Heart]] there. | |||
*In [[Southern Swamp]], on the platform of the [[Swamp Tourist Center]]. They sell [[Magic Bean]]s, to [[Deku Scrub]]s only, for 10 rupees. They will trade their [[Swamp Title Deed]] to Link in any form ''other than'' [[Deku Link]] for a Town Title Deed. Their Deku Flower is required to access the Piece of Heart on the Swamp Tourist Center roof. | |||
*In [[Goron Village]], to the south of the [[Goron Shrine]]. They sell a [[Biggest Bomb Bag]], to [[Goron]]s only, for 200 rupees & a Big Bomb Bag (or 1000 rupees). They will trade their [[Mountain Title Deed]] to Deku Link (only) for his Swamp Title Deed. Their Deku Flower is required to access a Piece of Heart on a ledge in the mountain wall. | |||
*In [[Zora Hall]], inside Lulu's room(!). They sell Green Potion, to [[Zora]]s only, for 40 rupees. They will trade their [[Ocean Title Deed]] to [[Goron Link]] (only) for his Mountain Title Deed. Their Deku Flower is required to access a Piece of Heart on a ledge in the room. | |||
*In [[Ikana Canyon]], on the south of the lower cliff beside the river, and to the east of the high cliff. They will sell a [[Blue Potion]] to any non-Zora form of Link for 100 rupees. Will trade a [[Huge Rupee]] to [[Zora Link]] for an Ocean Title Deed. Their Deku Flower is required to access Piece of Heart on a ledge on the north-eastern side of the bend in the river. | |||
Once moved to a new location for the rest of the three-day cycle, the scrubs will continue selling the same items, but will sell to Link in any form without limitation. The Business Scrubs who move to Clock Town and the Southern Swamp are happy with their new locations, but the newly-installed Goron Village scrub hates the cold if talked to in winter{{Ref|MM|3410-3412|Business Scrub}}, and the Zora Hall scrub is afraid of being kicked out of the room{{Ref|MM|3443\3444\3448|Business Scrub}}. | |||
===The Minish Cap | There is one additional Business Scrub who Link can buy from and is not part of the trading sequence - if Link looks through the [[Astral Observatory]] telescope to the left of [[Clock Town]], a Scrub will fly over [[Termina Field]], and if Link continues to watch them, they will enter a grotto. Upon entering the grotto later in the same cycle, they will sell a Piece of Heart to Link for his silence; initially offering it for 150 rupees, but if Link refuses the first offer, they cut the price to 100 rupees. Whether Link declines again, or buys it for 100 rupees, the Scrub then leaves with his goods. Visiting the Grotto, again with the Scrub present, in a later cycle will cause him to go "Oh, you..." and then fly off again. | ||
Finally, two Business Scrubs run the [[Deku Scrub Playground]]. If [[Deku Link]] successfully wins all three days, they will hide rather than allow him to play again within the cycle. | |||
==''Oracle of Seasons''== | |||
In ''Oracle of Seasons'', there are two variations of Business Scrubs. One type are identical to their ''Oracle of Ages'' counterparts and immediately offers to sell Link various goods. However, there are some Business Scrubs that are similar to their ''Ocarina of Time'' variations, where Link first needs to defeat the enemy. Link can use a shield to deflect a rock back at the Business Scrub, stunning it in the process. The Business Scrub then pleads for his life and offers to sell items to Link. More often than not, if the item they sell is also one you can find in the [[Horon Village Shop]], the scrub will be selling it at an inflated price or, in the case of seeds, selling something that occurs naturally. | |||
==''Oracle of Ages''== | |||
Business Scrubs appear in various places throughout [[Labrynna]]. At first glance, a Business Scrub appears as a normal bush until Link approaches it. They then pop out of the ground and offer to sell Link different items that are usually way overpriced compared to finding the item in a chest, bush, or simply purchasing it from a store. [[Dr. Troy]] of [[Lynna City]] refers to these characters as Business Scrubs. More often than not, if the item they sell is also one you can find in the [[Lynna City Shop]], the scrub will be selling it at an inflated price or, in the case of seeds, selling something that occurs naturally. | |||
==''The Minish Cap''== | |||
Business Scrubs are found throughout the overworld regions of ''The Minish Cap'' and it is the very first enemy encountered in the game. Link can use the [[Small Shield]] to deflect the nut back towards the Business Scrub to defeat him. After Link defeats them, they offer him their wares. Some Business Scrubs sell Link important items like the [[Grip Ring]], which is needed for climbing up rocky walls. | Business Scrubs are found throughout the overworld regions of ''The Minish Cap'' and it is the very first enemy encountered in the game.
