Biography
Breath of the Wild
Ardin is a Gerudo who manages a Stall in Gerudo Town. Her Stall specializes in Mushrooms.
If spoken to, Ardin will tell Link that Gerudo use Mushrooms to keep their skin beautiful.[4] Depending on the time of day, she will also remark that Link has a lot of energy being awake this early, if spoken to in the morning,[5] or she will comment on the Temperature if spoken to around noon or in the evening.[6][7]
As a Merchant, Ardin is very keen to sell her wares, with her tactics ranging from persuasion to telling tall and implausible lies in order to make some money.[8][9][10] If Link purchases all of the Mushrooms from her stall she will pretend her stall is full of rare and mysterious Mushrooms, that are only visible to the most beautiful.[11] If Link talks to her about this, she will admit that after he bought all her Mushrooms she had nothing left to restock her stall with, but she think people will fall for this.[12] However, she promises to restock her Mushrooms soon.[13] She does in fact manage to convince both Jules and Nellie, although the latter requires Link’s help.[14][15]
Despite her trickery, Ardin is genuinely interested in Mushrooms and will tell Link facts about them, such as that they enjoy the cool weather.[16] She encourages Link to take an interest in them despite not being an expert herself, quietly admitting that although there is lots of interesting information about mushrooms she does not understand a lot of it.[17]
When Link makes a purchase from Ardin, she may encourage him to use the nearby kitchen for Cooking.[1] She might also tell him to eat a lot of Food so he can grow big.[18] Like other Merchants, Link can sell his own Items to Ardin.[19][20][21][22][23] When she buys an Item from Link, Ardin will thank him.[24][25][26][27]

Sav'otta! You've got a lot of energy. More of a morning person, huh?

Sav'aaq! It's another hot one today, huh?

Sav'saaba! Now that it's the evening, it's gotten much cooler, hasn't it?

It would really be a waste if you left Gerudo Town without taking some of these mushrooms with you!

If you've got some money, take a look at my mushrooms.
— Ardin (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh, well, if someone as pretty as you can't see them, that means... Then Ardin must have made up another silly lie. She tells really weird ones sometimes.
— Nellie (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Vasaaq! Step right up and sample my wares: rare, mysterious mushrooms, only visible to the eyes of the most beautiful!

Oh-it's just you. After you bought all my mushrooms, I had nothing left to restock my stall... But now, I think people will fall for this.
— Ardin (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I'll make sure to restock my mushrooms. When you have some money to spend, please come back by here.

Mushrooms that only beautiful people can see... I think...maybe I’m starting to see something?
— Jules (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh, wow, really? And I thought it was all some kind of joke that Ardin came up with to trick her customers when she's all out... Well, I don't care if I can see them or not. I could have seen them when I was younger—that much I know.
— Nellie (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
You know, mushrooms enjoy the cool weather. You might find some around... Take the time to look.
— Ardin (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Just between us... Mushrooms are actually the largest living things in the entire world. There's actually a ton of really interesting info about mushrooms. A lot of it I don't even understand, though...
