Ravio: Difference between revisions

Ravio is the shopkeeper at [[Ravio's Shop]], a location where [[Link]] can rent or purchase various items, including the [[Bow]] and [[Hookshot]]. This shop is located inside of Link's House, as Ravio asked Link if he could stay in his house for a while.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Oh! Hey! Wait a minute. To tell you the truth, I’ve been looking for a place to stay. It’s been hard to find somewhere good. So,uh. This is awkward.. Mind if I stay here for a while? Just a couple of days, I promise!|Ravio}} He is dressed in a purple robe and hood that resembles a rabbit. Ravio is accompanied by [[Sheerow]], a bird-like creature that recovers Link's rented items when he has fallen in battle. Ravio also provided Link with [[Ravio's Bracelet|his bracelet]] early in the game.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Here-take this. I can’t pay rent yet. But it’s something, at least. I know it looks like a hunk of junk, but it’s older than old. A real treasure, that thing-! Uh, what?  

What odor? You don’t want it because it SMELLS funny? That’s the smell of history, buddy! Musty leather! Moldy aromas! The rich fragrance of a relic! OK, fine. I’ll admit that it smells like a wet dog. But you gotta know, that’s a GOOD smell. Besides…it’s a gift. So the least you could do is wear it, buddy!|Ravio}} After Link is trapped in a wall by [[Yuga]], the bracelet activated, giving Link the ability to turn himself into a painting. Ravio is the Lorule version of Link. He has the same facial features as Link but black hair. He even refers to himself as the hero of Lorule. He left Lorule because he didn't have the guts to save it but he knew someone in Hyrule did.

Link first meets Ravio after his first encounter with Yuga at the beginning of the game.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|I’m a traveling merchant. I found you in the Sanctuary. Passed out. Alone. Strange, if you ask me.|Ravio}} Ravio claims to be a traveling merchant and convinces Link to let him stay in [[Link's House|his house]]. As the game progresses, Ravio converts Link's house into his personal shop. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Ravio is Link's [[Lorule]]an counterpart. He has pale skin, black hair, and green eyes; but in other respects appears identical to Link. Unlike Link, however, Ravio is a coward. Ravio learned that [[Hilda]] was planning to steal the [[Triforce]] from [[Hyrule]] with the help of [[Yuga]]. Not agreeing with the plan, he hoped to stop them but due to his nature, feared he could not stop the duo. He instead traveled to Hyrule in hopes of discovering a hero who could stop the pair, and so ended up assisting Link in his journey.
