In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, there’s a fun twist—getting a Piece of Heart requires you to grab a password from a fairy as Adult Link. The trick is that the Business Scrub won’t sell that Heart piece to Child Link without the right phrase. Players often overlook this detail, focusing too much on exploring instead of interacting with their surroundings.
Don’t worry, though; it’s straightforward once you know what to do. You’ll need to hop between your two forms, so make sure you’ve already unlocked that ability before heading to Hyrule Field. This Password is your key to enhancing your health early on!
Before you set out on your quest, ensure you’ve got enough rupees—100 will cover the cost of the Piece of Heart when you reach the Business Scrub.
Where to Find the Business Scrub’s Password in the Ocarina of Time Remake
Your first stop should be a chat with the Business Scrub, who’s chilling in a grotto just east of the Hyrule Castle Town drawbridge. While both Child Link and Adult Link can access this area, keep in mind that Adult Link won’t be able to buy anything since his whole stock was cleaned out before he got there.
Once you’re rolling with Child Link, he’ll need a password to proceed. Unfortunately, he can’t find it out himself, but that’s where Adult Link steps in. Head back to the Business Scrub’s grotto as Adult Link but don’t go inside just yet; instead, look for a nearby tree.
On this tree, you’ll spot a message left by a fairy that had previously bought items from the Business Scrub. They’ll let you know that the password is “Sell somethin’, will ya?” It’s a nice nod to the original Zelda game, replacing ‘buy’ with ‘sell.’
Now that you’ve got the password, switch back to Child Link and head into the grotto again. Tell the Business Scrub what he wants to hear, and then fork over 100 rupees to snag that Piece of Heart. It’s a quick win to boost your health, so don’t pass it up!
