The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019 video game)/Town Tool Shop
The Town Tool Shop[edit | edit source]
On the East side of town is the Town Tool Shop you can buy a variety of goods. Unlike in most games, to buy an item you pick it up and bring it to the counter to make your purchase. Such realism!
The shopkeeper is a smiling bald man in blue robes. Though he can be blunt, he is also honest and will not allow Link to waste money on equipment he can't carry or use.
Items for Sale[edit | edit source]

Stealing from the Shop[edit | edit source]
By rapidly circling around the shopkeeper with an item, and then leaving while he is looking away, you can steal an item. But you shouldn't. Characters who see you from here on, even if you never return to the store, will refer to you as "THIEF". From here on, if you return to the shop, the shopkeeper will be waiting for Link, and before anything can be done, strike him with a energy beam, resulting in a instant game over.
It appears that stealing from the shop does not work in the very beginning of the game, before the sword is acquired. It also appears that it is impossible to steal from the shop while Marin accompanies Link.
