The secret Carpet Merchant (or Carpet Riding Merchant) in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake makes a return appearance from the original game. This merchant was present in the original game, but his prices have changed quite a bit, even if his items have not. You will also need some specific items to get to this merchant, as he is located in a location that is not really accessible to everyone. I will show you everything you need to get to this hidden merchant and what items he sells to you.
What Do You Need To Get To The Carpet Merchant in Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake
First of all, this hidden shop is located on top of quicksand. So, you cannot walk or jump to his location normally. Instead, you will need the Hover Boots first. These boots can be found inside the Shadow Temple, after defeating Dead Hand.
Apart from this, you will also need the Hookshot to get across some parts in the desert. You get the Hookshot after becoming Adult Link and defeating Dampe in a race at Kakariko Village to get this item.
Once you have the Hover Boots and the Hookshot, make your way to the Mirage Desert for the next steps.
How To Find the Carpet Merchant in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake
Go to the Gerudo Fortress and take the northern exit that leads towards the Mirage Desert. As soon as you emerge into the desert, equip your Hookshot. Approach the target shown above (marked in red) and fire the gadget to traverse the gap.
Turn left from the flagpole (marked with red above) and walk diagonally forward. Keep going forward until you reach the boardwalk shown below.
You will see the Carpet Merchant in front of you. Get on the boardwalk and equip your Hover Boots. Walk across the gap to reach this elusive merchant. Do be careful while walking, as the Hover Boots make you glide over the floor.
What Does the Carpet Merchant Sell?
This merchant does not specifically tell you what he is selling. Instead, he spouts riddles that indicate the item you are going to get.
Moving objects of great danger! Scary! Ooo! But what could they be?
However, he only sells one item to you for a specific price. These are 10 Bombchus for 90 Rupees. You can buy them again, but do be aware that Link has a carrying capacity for these items. If you already have the maximum number of Bombchus, you will not be able to buy more.
