Business Scrubs first appeared in Ocarina of Time, and are commonly found in underground grottoes. Unlike normal Deku Scrubs, if you perform the same shield-deflect-nut strategy instead of fleeing, they will reluctantly do business with you. They sell a variety of items you would usually find at stores, but usually at higher prices. Some Business Scrubs may enable you to carry more of a specific item for a small fee.

In Majora's Mask, friendlier versions of these scrubs return and together they form a Trading Quest which Link must complete to acquire Pieces of Heart.

Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Business Scrub figurine:

"Appears in caves, etc. Normally stay underground. They'll pop out and spit seeds at you, but if you get to know 'em they're not so bad."

In the Oracle games, Business Scrubs make another appearance. They will sell Link items if he talks to them, though they are usually hidden underneath bushes.
