Biography

Descriptionshide ▲
The Shop Guru, Zunari
Birthplace: A C-C-COLD Island
Pet Phrase: "Dear me!"

Even on the hottest day of summer, Zunari can be found in his shop, wearing the beloved hood that his mother made for him. He keeps a great treasure in his safe there.

On a side note, he turns 40 this year and is now recruiting for a wife. Heart

Zunari used to live on a cold island, but he eventually moved to Windfall Island,[4] where he set up a stall in the hopes of running a prosperous business.[5] At first, he lacks the necessary funds, with his only stocked item being the Sail that he used to navigate from his homeland to Windfall.[6] However, when Link helps him by purchasing his Sail,[7] he begins to try and sell things for an organization whose goal is putting flowers all over the town. Zunari is also a member of the Joyous Volunteer Association.

Zunari's only possession is the coat that he always wears, crafted by his mother.[8] Nonetheless, his safe may contain something of value, as Mila tries to break into it at night time. During the Island Trading Sequence, if Link makes a Merchant's Oath with the three Goron Wandering Merchants situated on Mother & Child Isles, Greatfish Isle, and Bomb Island, Zunari will gift him with the Magic Armor. Zunari can also be found running the nightly Windfall Auction at the Auction House.

In The Wind Waker HD, when first spoken to, Zunari will request that Link free Tingle from the Jail before he will sell him the Sail. He claims that Tingle had originally traveled with him to Windfall but was arrested upon reaching the island for his suspicious looks.[9] Freeing Tingle causes Zunari to lower the price of the Sail from the previously considered 200 Rupees to only 80 Rupees,[10] as in the original game.

Trivia

Nomenclature

Zunari is a corruption of his Japanese name, スズナリ (Suzunari), which likely comes from the word 鈴生り (Suzunari), an adjectival noun used to describe people forming a cluster. It may be an allusion to the future success of his business. The word originally meant fruits being grown in clusters, like a kagura suzu.

  1. The little shop master on Windfall Island apparently got his hands on a truly amazing treasure. He calls it Magic Armor or something like that. It's a pretty cool magical relic, from what I've heard. If you want him to give it to you, try staring deep into his eyes and winning him over with flattery, fry! Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! And that's all the info I've got to offer! If you want to hear it again, you'll have to throw some more bait on the water for me! Sorry, but that's my policy, fry! I can't go fighting evil on an empty stomach, you know! And with that...I'm off! — Fishman (The Wind Waker HD)
