The Merchant is the shopkeeper of the General Store in Sakado in The Wand of Gamelon.[2] He sells Zelda Rope, Lantern Oil, and Bombs. His mannerisms suggest that he is quite sinister and greedy, and is more interested in making a profit.[3] If Zelda does not have enough Rubies to afford something, he suggests that she fight a few Goriyas.

He is sometimes named Ushrom and I. Fleecem by fans.
