To buy something from a merchant, walk Link over the item you want. To pay money to hear what someone has to say, walk Link over the Rupee number you want to pay. If you don't have enough Rupees, though, you'll be ignored.

To buy things from the merchant, get Link to pick up what he wants. If Link is going to pay money for some valuable information, then get him to point to the number of rubies he wants to pay. The merchant will ignore Link, however, if he hasn't got enough rubies.
Link can buy a lot of things from a merchant by picking up what he wants. Be careful not to miss chances because there are things that you can only get from the merchant.
He does business inside caves and talks in Osaka dialect, saying things like "Buy somethin', will ya." Weapons and treasures cost different amounts in different places, so it pays to go into lots of caves!
Bring Rupees and he will sell you bombs, candles, shields, and more. The goods and prices differ from cave to cave, so shop wisely.
His prices are a bit high, but he sells things you really need. Buy the Blue Ring early and things get easier.
Sells things. Mostly you can buy weapons, but not without Rupees.
Even with the same merchant, prices differ from place to place. Don't buy what you don't need. Be sure to get the blue Rupee!
The guy who sells things in caves all over. The Magical Shield, candles, arrows, and some other things can only be had here. The Magical Shield costs 160 Rupees in some places and 130 in others, so of course buy the cheaper one!
He is also in a cave, and he sells Link weapons, shields, keys, and other goods. The same item can cost a different price from one merchant to the next, so find a cheap one.
They sell treasures. Some are hidden underground, and those ones charge less.
Merchants sell Link all kinds of goods. Walk over the price of the one you want and you buy it. Some goods can only be had from a merchant, so keep that in mind.
