Ardin is a character in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Ardin works as a merchant in Gerudo Town where she sells a variety of Mushrooms. She will often comment about the weather, stating that it is another hot day when spoken to during the daytime.[1] At nighttime she will comment about how much cooler it has gotten.[2]
Ardin will often tell extravagant stories about the mushrooms that she sells. She states that the beautiful skin of Gerudo are thanks to the mushrooms that are grown here. Using this as a sales tactic to get Link to purchase some goods from her.[3] If Link purchases all of her stock, she will try to sell Link on the mysterious invisible mushroom, since she has nothing else to sell.[4] Although after realizing it's Link, she tells of her plan, thinking some people might fall for it.
After Link purchases some Mushrooms, Ardin will comment about how healthy mushrooms are and how they help with growth.[5][6] Although she is surprised that somebody as skinny as Link has such an appetite.[7]
Tears of the Kingdom
Ardin can be found in Gerudo Town after the sand shroud has subsided. She sells the same mushrooms at the same price as in Breath of the Wild.

Trivia
In Breath of the Wild, Ardin comments that Mushrooms are the largest living thing in the world.[8] This is actually true on Earth, as the largest living organism is an Armillaria ostoyae, dubbed the Humongous Fungus, a type of mushroom that has spanned up to 3.4 miles. It should be noted that this is thanks to the single mycelium though; the fruiting bodies themselves don't reach such gargantuan sizes.
