Zelda Ocarina of Time Business Scrub password

While Heart Pieces are hidden in plain sight at the best of times in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, one of them is locked behind the Business Scrub password. This is exactly as it sounds, meaning you'll need to find a password for a Business Scrub before he's willing to sell you his wares, though some time-travelling is involved, making the password's location not immediately apparent.

To help you locate it and get your hands on another Heart Piece, here's where to find the Business Scrub password in Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Business Scrub password

While on the hot pursuit of Heart Pieces in Ocarina of Time, you're likely to come across a Business Scrub near the entrance to Hyrule Castle Town who needs a password before he is open for business.

1. Find the Hyrule Castle Town Business Scrub as Child Link.

If you haven't encountered this fellow yet, then you'll want to approach the entrance to Hyrule Castle Town then scope out the small piece of land that's across the river to the right of the entrance. Here, there's a hole that can be opened using a Bomb.

After opening the hole, head on inside and speak to the Business Scrub below. However, as previously mentioned, he won't be willing to do any business until you provide him with a password.

2. Find the Business Scrub password as Adult Link.

To find out what the password is, you'll need to travel forward in time so that you're in Link's adult timeline. You can do this by entering Hyrule Castle Town, going into the Temple of Time, and then interacting with the Master Sword there.

Then as Adult Link, read the Fairy's Thoughts on the tree that's directly opposite the hole where you first found the Business Scrub.

This note conveniently reveals that the password is 'Sell somethin', will ya?'. That said, if you try to give the Business Scrub this password while playing as Adult Link, the Business Scrub will be out of stock. Back in Link's child timeline however, that's not the case!

3. Give the Business Scrub the password as Child Link to buy a Heart Piece.

So, go back in time so that you're playing as Child Link next, then return to the Business Scrub and give him the password. Now, you'll be able to purchase a Heart Piece from him in exchange for 100 Rupees! While you're here, it's also worth noting that this particular Heart Piece location is exclusive to the Switch 2 remake of the game.

Now that you've found the Business Scrub password and hopefully bought a Heart Piece from him, that's it for this guide, but be sure to take a look at our Heart Pieces locations guide if you wish to collect them all.
