Template:Character Rupin is a character in Skyward Sword.

Biography

Rupin runs the Gear Shop in the Skyloft Bazaar, where he sells Link a variety of items, including Shields, Deku Seeds, Bombs, Seed Satchels, Bomb Bags, Quivers, Arrows and more.

At night, he can be seen in his home in the residential district on the south-eastern part of Skyloft. In contrast to his assumed personality during the day, Rupin behaves rudely towards Link at night. He will also buy treasures at night, but only ones he chooses for that night.

Trivia

  • Rupin bears a similar personality and physical mannerisms to the Happy Mask Salesman. Both have similar facial expressions and mood swings, and are shop owners.

Etymology

As many residents of Skyloft seem to be named after birds, it is possible that Rupin is named after the robin. The variation is likely a play-on-words between the name "Rubin" and the word "Rupee".
