Buy Something, Will Ya?

Buy Something, Will Ya?

Ravio has good news for you: he’s now letting you purchase his items, rather than only renting them. Nice! Buying Ravio’s items is costly, but it ensures that you’ll never lose them, even if Link falls in battle. There’s another good reason to buy items from Ravio, too, and it involves all of those little Maiamais you’ve been rescuing... but we’ll get to that in a moment!

To entice you to make a purchase, Ravio offers a half-price discount on the very first item you buy. Some items are more expensive than others, and you’ll save the most Rupees by making either the Fire Rod or Ice Rod your first purchase. We recommend buying the Ice Rod, as its ability to freeze powerful enemies comes in quite handy.

What you do with the rest of your Rupees is entirely up to you, but there’s really nothing better to spend them on than Ravio’s items. You likely won’t be able to buy them all right now, so just purchase the ones you find most useful. The bombs, bow, hammer, Hookshot, and Tornado Rod are all great choices due to their ability to help Link uncover secrets as he explores.
