Poe Collector
Poe Collector is a character in Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, found in Hyrule Castle Town.
Oh...you are quite an energetic young man. You're brave and handsome, too.
Heh heh heh...your name is Link, isn't it.
Heh heh he...don't be surprised. I can read people's minds.
If I looked as good as you, I could run a different kind of business...heh he heh...
My shop is the only Ghost Shop in Hyrule.
Because of the great Ganondorf, it is a fine time for a business like this...heh heh heh...
Oh...I can only hope the world gets even worse!
The ghosts, called Poes, are spirits of concentrated hatred that appear in the fields and graveyard. They hate the world!
Young man, if you catch a Poe, I will pay a lot of money for it... Heh heh hee!

What they say
Hey, young man. What's happening today? If you have a Poe, I will buy it.
Your card now has # points. Come back again! Heh heh heh!
Oh, you brought a Poe today!
........
Hmmm...
This is a normal Poe. Here are your 10 Rupees. Take them.
Heh heh.
Oh, you brought a Poe today!
Hmmmm!
Very interesting! This is a Big Poe!
I'll buy it for 50 Rupees.
On top of that, I'll put 100 points on your card.
If you earn 1,000 points, you'll be a happy man! Heh heh.
Wait a minute! WOW!
You have earned 1,000 points!
Young man, you are a genuine Ghost Hunter!
Is that what you expected me to say? Heh heh heh!
Because of you, I have extra inventory of Big Poes, so this will be the last time I can buy a ghost.
You're thinking about what I promised would happen when you earned 1,000 points. Heh heh.
Don't worry, I didn't forget. Just take this.
