Plan your purchases based on what you need for the next journey: Coro’s oil keeps the lamp running, Barnes sells bomb types and takes back old supplies, while Malo’s shops offer shield, falcon eye and later magical armor.
The branch in Castle Town will only open after the donation has been submitted. With the spring water barrel you can reduce their second donation amount. For larger purchases, the first wallet from Agitha is worth it; Full wallets do not replace equipment that has already been purchased.
Game version: The route and screenshots follow the GameCube version. The normal mode of Twilight Princess HD has the same orientation; on Wii and in HD Hero Mode, left/right and east/west are swapped. HD deviations are at the affected step.
Sera’s shop in Ordon
Sera’s little shop in Ordon is the first shop in the game. This is where you buy the slingshot during the tutorial. Sera also sells milk, bee larvae and later lamp oil and other simple consumables.
Her personal reward is even more important: After you have brought her cat back with the help of the fishing rod, Sera gives Link the first of the four bottles, which is initially half filled with milk.
Coro in the Faron Woods
Coro sits at his hut in the Faron Woods and supplies Link with lamp oil. At the start of the game you will receive the lamp from him. He then sells a full bottle of lamp oil for 100 Rupees. The real value of this offer is that the bottle remains permanently in your inventory after the oil has been used up, making it the second of a total of four bottles.
Barnes Bomb Shop in Kakariko
Barnes is Hyrule’s main bomb dealer. After completing the Goron Mines, he sells Link the first bomb bag including 30 bombs for 120 Rupees. He later expanded his range to include depth charges and bomblets.
At the return counter you can sell remaining bombs or empty a bag to transport a different type of bomb. We explain all three bags and their maximum upgrade in detail on our page about equipment upgrades.
Malo Mart in Kakariko
The small Malo Mart in Kakariko is one of the most important shops in the game. Here Link gets the fireproof Hylian Shield for 200 Rupees. After obtaining the Hero’s Bow, the Hawkeye will also be offered for 100 Rupees. Arrows, red potions and other consumable items complete the range.
Later the shop becomes the headquarters of the big Malo Mart side quest. You will first use the donation fund to finance the repair of the bridge and then the expansion to Castle Town.
Luxury Shop and Malo Mart in Castle Town
Before Malo took over the business, the boutique in Castle Town was run by Chudley. His prices are intentionally absurdly high. The Magic Armor, for example, is offered at a practically unattainable price. The deal is initially intended to make it clear to Link that a later side quest awaits here.
This changes completely after completing the Malo Mart quest. The business is taken over by the Malo Mart employees and all prices fall drastically. The Magic Armor now costs 598 Rupees. There are also very cheap bombs, arrows and potions. In Twilight Princess HD, the Malo Mart stamp is also sold here for 50 Rupees.
Goron Trader
You will find smaller Goron stands in several places in the Goron area and later in Castle Town. They mainly sell red potions, lamp oil, arrows, milk and sometimes shields. These traders are particularly practical if you need supplies at short notice on the way through Kakariko or to Death Mountain.
Ooccoo in City in the Sky
There is also a small shop in City in the Sky. There you can buy bombs, arrows, lamp oil and red and blue potions. Since City in the Sky has several long outdoor areas and missteps can quickly drain health, the Trader is a welcome opportunity to stock up before fighting Argorok.
