Tingle. He sells maps, right? Otherwise, that one in Wind Waker that says "Thank you"

Malo, I still got his music stuck in my head, and I imagine him sounding like the Brain from Pinky and the Brain

The one who zaps you to death.

Morshu is a weird meme that resurrects every ten-fifteen years or so, in 2007 it was youtube poops, now he's back for whatever reason.

Ya'll are sleeping on the merchant from Wand of Gamelon. (Who apparently didn't have a name.)
"'Course I'm on your side, but I still have to sell the stuff! Just pick out what you want. I'll handle the rubies."

(Yes, rubies. That's what they call Rupees in the CD-I games.)

Tough call indeed. Nintendo seems to have far too much fun thinking up all kinds of weirdos for these Zelda shopkeepers.

But it's gotta be this guy:

Beedle is a a chump. Put him in the same market as Malo and Malo will put him out of business in under a week.

It wasn't until this topic that I realized just how many weird shopkeepers there are in the Zelda series. And it's not a new thing either—it's been a constant since at least Link's Awakening. This is some internal meme within the Zelda dev team, isn't it?

Voted for Malo by the way

how is this a tough call when Beedle is one of the options
Honestly I find it kind of sad how Zunari has no votes.

He had a lot of charisma and bravado while still appearing good natured.

I prefer him over Beedle in Wind Waker, but obviously Beedle was great in Skyward Sword and BotW as well

How is Morshu not winning this in a landslide? He is far more iconic than the rest.

Of the poll options, it's Malo, money talks and the way he takes that one clerk from uptight poncey man to shuffling across to the malo mart jam is your rupees at work.

Personal fave, the guy(?) who runs the only ghost shop in Hyrule!

HM to like, all of SS's Bazaar folk and Salvatore from Wind Waker (minigames are totally a shop business!)
Oh and LA's shopkeep, I mean really if we get bolted by him, we deserved it, unless you weren't stealing the bow and took something only worth like 20 rupees, then murder is a bit much, I guess

I didn't even know what a Morshu was until this thread, disgusting

All of the folks in Skyloft's Bazaar are great. Man, I love Skyloft.
