'''Subrosia Market''' is a shop in {{OOS}}. Located at very center of [[Subrosia]] in [[Subrosia Village]], it is the only store in the entire subterranean world. The Market's exterior is designed to resemble a red-robed [[Subrosian]].
−
'''Subrosia''' is a subterranean lava world located beneath the world of [[Holodrum]] in {{OOS}}, and is home to the [[Subrosian]]s. To outsiders, it is only accessible by travelling through seven [[portal]]s scattered across Holodrum. After [[Onox]] causes the [[Temple of Seasons]] to sink, Link must travel to Subrosia in order to locate the temple and retrieve the [[Rod of Seasons]]. He must later return here to reach the [[Sword and Shield Maze]], home to the eighth and final [[Essences of Nature|Essence of Nature]].

==Plot==
−
Before Onox caused the Temple of Seasons to sink into Subrosia, life was peaceful for its inhabitants. However, the sinking of the Temple caused many problems, such as the destruction of an area referred to as the 'East Plaza',<ref>{{Cite|Whoa! A "temple" fell into the East Plaza.|Subrosian|OoS}}</ref> a drop in the lava level, endangering the Subrosians' food source,<ref>{{Cite|Ever since the "temple" fell, the lava level has dropped. Soon, we won't have any to eat!|Subrosian|OoS}}</ref> and the instability of the land's volcanoes.<ref>{{Cite|The volcanoes have been acting up because of the "temple." |Subrosian|OoS}}</ref>
  
  +
In order to reach [[Poison Moth's Lair]], [[Link]] must obtain the [[Ribbon]] from the Market to go on a date with [[Rosa]],<ref>{{Cite|Since you're so nice, I'll go on a date with you.

==Etymology==
  
  +
[[File:Oracle Of Seasons - Subrosian Market Interior.png|frame|right|Subrosia Market with its initial wares]]
−
The name "Subrosia" is likely derived from the Latin prefix "sub", meaning underneath or below, and the suffix "ia", a common ending for country names meaning "the state of". It is also possible that the name is derived from the Latin phrase, "Sub Rosa", meaning to carry something out secretly or confidentially, referring to the fact that Subrosia is a secret to the inhabitants of Holodrum.
  
  +
[[File:SubMarket Bomb Bag.ogv|thumb|right|160px|Link purchasing the Big Bomb Bag]]
  +
Subrosia Market employs a unique trade system to sell its wares. Depending on the item, the shop owner will either sell for Ore Chunks, the standard Subrosian currency, or trade for Mystical Seeds along with (or instead of) Ore Chunks. Exceptions are the Ribbon and the Big Bomb Bag. In addition, the Market will exchange certain Mystical Seeds for Ore Chunks and vice-versa.
   
  +
More than half of the items sold at the Market are foreign to its [[Subrosian]] salesman. He is consequently unaware of their actual name and purpose. Hearts are displayed upside down and sold as peaches; a Heart Container is sold as a "Rare Peach Stone." [[Gasha Seed]]s, of which the market has an infinite supply, are referred to as "Silver Seeds." A single [[Wooden Shield]] is sold as a cutting board.<ref>{{Cite|A cutting board? I'll trade for 5 Ember Seeds.|Subrosian salesman|OOS}}</ref> The salesman trades a [[Member's Card]] for a mere five Ore Chunks, not knowing if it has any purpose at all.<ref>{{Cite|It's shiny and it has "Member's Card" on it.

−
==Economy==
  
−
Unlike Holodrum, and most other lands in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]], Subrosia uses [[Ore|Ore Chunks]] as its main currency, rather than [[Rupee]]s.<ref>{{Cite|Having Rupees doesn't do you any good. You need Ore Chunks!|Subrosian|Oos}}</ref> This is apparently due to their abundance.<ref>{{Cite|If you dig up the ground near here, you can get Ore Chunks. Some spots produce lots of Ore Chunks!|Subrosian|OoS}}</ref> However, some residents of Subrosia also use a bartering system. For example, in addition to ore, [[Subrosia Market]] also requires [[Mystical Seeds]] as payment for certain items.<ref>{{Cite|Silver Seed I'll trade for Ore Chunks and 20 Scent Seeds.|Subrosian Shop Keeper|OoS}}</ref>
  
   
  +
A [[Bomb Bag|Big Bomb Bag]], represented by a Red Bomb, is sold for 50 Ore Chunks and 10 [[Bomb]]s.<ref>{{Cite|'''A Big Bomb Bag''' I'll trade for 10 Bombs and 50 Ore Chunks.|Subrosian salesman|OOS}}</ref> Upon purchasing it, the shop owner intructs Link to lift the bomb.<ref>{{Cite|OK, pick up this Red Bomb.|Subrosian salesman|OOS}}</ref> It explodes harmlessly in his hands, increasing his bomb capacity by 20.<ref>{{Cite|You can carry more Bombs now.

==Geography==
  
−
===Overview===
  
−
Due to it being deep underground, Subrosia is very hot and volcanic, containing many volcanoes and rivers and oceans of [[lava]]. However, despite this, it is still able to support plant life such as [[tree]]s and [[grass]]. Interestingly, Subrosia is also geographically similar to Holodrum, with a [[Subrosian Volcanoes|mountain range]] to the north as well as a [[Subrosia Seaside|coastline]] to the south.
  
   
  +
Subrosia Market sells four increasingly expensive [[Magic Ring]]s. They cost 30, 40, 50, and 70 Ore Chunks respectively.

As mentioned earlier, the main inhabitants of Subrosia are Subrosians. However, a group of [[Piratian]]s make their home in the [[House of Pirates]], located in the [[Graveyard#Cemetery|Subrosia Cemetery]], after their ship crash-lands in the [[Samasa Desert]]. However, they leave after Link gives their [[Captain]] the [[Pirate's Bell]]. In addition, [[Queen Ambi]] also appears in the House of Pirates in a [[Linked Game]], having been sent there by Nayru at the queen's request.<ref>{{Cite|Why, Link! What brings you here? I asked Nayru to send me on an eye- opening journey to different lands and different ages! Traveling alone is difficult, but it is one of a queen's many roles. However...

* If Link buys all five wares for sale in one visit, the shopkeeper brusquely tells him to go home.<ref>{{Cite|I traded away all my stuff. I'll have more later. Go home.|Subrosian salesman|OOS}}</ref>
−
*If Link digresses from the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]] and heads to where the first portal into Subrosia is, [[Rosa]] will not appear and the portal will also be absent. This would suggest that the [[Subrosian]]s have some control over the portals into their world, or otherwise that the portals are not always open, appearing and disappearing at unknown intervals.

Template:Place

Subrosia Market is a shop in Template:OOS. Located at very center of Subrosia in Subrosia Village, it is the only store in the entire subterranean world. The Market's exterior is designed to resemble a red-robed Subrosian.

Plot

In order to reach Poison Moth's Lair, Link must obtain the Ribbon from the Market to go on a date with Rosa,[1] who has the key to the Summer Tower at the Temple of Seasons.[2] The Market trades the Ribbon for a Star-Shaped Ore,[3] which lays buried in the sands of the Subrosia Seaside.[4]

Wares and Pricing

Subrosia Market employs a unique trade system to sell its wares. Depending on the item, the shop owner will either sell for Ore Chunks, the standard Subrosian currency, or trade for Mystical Seeds along with (or instead of) Ore Chunks. Exceptions are the Ribbon and the Big Bomb Bag. In addition, the Market will exchange certain Mystical Seeds for Ore Chunks and vice-versa.

More than half of the items sold at the Market are foreign to its Subrosian salesman. He is consequently unaware of their actual name and purpose. Hearts are displayed upside down and sold as peaches; a Heart Container is sold as a "Rare Peach Stone." Gasha Seeds, of which the market has an infinite supply, are referred to as "Silver Seeds." A single Wooden Shield is sold as a cutting board.[5] The salesman trades a Member's Card for a mere five Ore Chunks, not knowing if it has any purpose at all.[6] According to a Subrosian standing south of the Market, the foreign wares were likely obtained from the Temple of Seasons when it fell from Holodrum.[7]

A Big Bomb Bag, represented by a Red Bomb, is sold for 50 Ore Chunks and 10 Bombs.[8] Upon purchasing it, the shop owner intructs Link to lift the bomb.[9] It explodes harmlessly in his hands, increasing his bomb capacity by 20.[10]

Subrosia Market sells four increasingly expensive Magic Rings. They cost 30, 40, 50, and 70 Ore Chunks respectively.
