The Bunny Hood in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a coveted mask, not just for its unique design, but also for its place in the game’s intricate trading sequence. Knowing where and when to sell it is crucial to progressing through this side quest and unlocking a valuable reward. So, where exactly do you sell your Bunny Hood?
You sell the Bunny Hood to the Running Man, also referred to as the Marathon Man, in Hyrule Field. However, this isn’t a straightforward transaction. There are specific conditions that must be met for the sale to occur. The Running Man can only be found at night when he stops for a break, and he will only be available after you have obtained the three spiritual stones. Additionally, he’ll only be interested in the Bunny Hood after he sees Link wearing it. Once you speak to him with the hood on, you’ll be able to sell it for a sum of Rupees that completely fills your wallet, offering you a significant financial boost.
Understanding the Bunny Hood’s Significance
The Bunny Hood isn’t just a stylish accessory; it plays a vital role in Ocarina of Time’s side quests. It’s the final mask in the trading sequence provided by the Happy Mask Shop, and thus, the key to obtaining more free masks later in your adventure. It’s also an item with a unique connection to a side character, which enhances its appeal.
The Trading Sequence
The Bunny Hood represents the culmination of the Happy Mask Shop’s trading sequence. Here’s a quick recap of the masks you need to trade before getting to the Bunny Hood:
- Skull Mask: Sold to the Skull Kid in the Lost Woods.
- Spooky Mask: Sold to a young boy in Kakariko Graveyard.
- Bunny Hood: Sold to the Running Man in Hyrule Field.
Getting the Bunny Hood
Before you can think about selling it, you must first acquire the Bunny Hood. This involves progressing through a specific sequence of actions. You will need the Bremen Mask, then take it to the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village, use the mask to gather all of her Cuccos, and then receive the Bunny Hood from the man behind her named Grog.
How to Sell the Bunny Hood Effectively
Once you have the Bunny Hood in your possession, selling it to the Running Man requires the following steps:
- Acquire the Three Spiritual Stones: You must have already completed the dungeons that reward you with the Kokiri Emerald, the Goron Ruby, and the Zora Sapphire before you can interact with the Running Man.
- Wait for Night: The Running Man is only visible during the night time. He will stop to take a rest during this time.
- Equip the Bunny Hood: Put on the Bunny Hood before approaching the Running Man so that he notices you.
- Find the Running Man: He is usually circling Lon Lon Ranch, moving in a large loop. Be patient, and check along his path when it is night.
- Interact With Him: Once he stops for a rest, and you are wearing the Bunny Hood, you will have the option to sell it to him. He will be curious and want to buy the hood from you.
- The Sale: He will fill your wallet with Rupees, offering a considerable monetary gain. The value is based on your wallet size, so the larger the wallet the more rupees you will get from the sale.
Important Considerations
- Timing is Key: The Running Man only appears at night. Make sure you plan your trip accordingly.
- Wallet Size: The amount of rupees you receive is directly tied to the capacity of your wallet. It is best to make sure you have the largest wallet possible before you sell the Bunny Hood, to get the most rupees you can. Upgrading your wallet capacity is essential for making the most of this transaction.
- Location Awareness: The Running Man circles Lon Lon Ranch, but the exact spot where he stops can vary slightly. Patience and a keen eye are helpful.
