Business Scrub
Business Scrubs are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. They will attack anybody that approaches them by spitting out a Deku Nut. If you, however, deflect the nut back onto them, or defeat them in any other way, this will cause them to attempt to do business with or offer advice to Link. They tend to offer items such as Deku Sticks, Arrows, Bombs, Potions, charging a little bit more than a local stores would.
