====INTRODUCTION====
***VERSION INFORMATION***
VERSION 1 - 0115 GMT, 7-Jan-2000
  Contains a full list of where shops are in Hyrule and the Dark World, what 
they stock and how much each of those items cost.  Naturally, the copyright 
info, author's note and credits sections are also included.

***AUTHOR'S NOTE***
  As I wrote my complete walkthrough for the SNES version of Zelda, I noticed 
that it was very big....171 kilobytes, to be exact.  In the interests of 
conservation I compressed the full walkthrough, but I realise that not all 
people have WinZip.  For the convenience of those without WinZip, the large 
guide has been broken into several smaller uncompressed documents so you can 
still enjoy the information.


====SHOPS AND WARES====
  Scattered throughout both Hyrule and the Dark World are stores with many 
useful items to sell.  Although most of these shops a situated within a building 
of their own, some daring salesmen venture into caves at Death Mountain to sell 
their items there.  The shops of one world usually sell the same wares; these 
'standard' shops are called Goods Shops.
  This guide is written to be used in conjunction with other guides Cyber 
Predator has posted.  If you don't know the location of a landmark listed here, 
look up Cyber Predator's guides to Hyrule and the Dark World to learn where that 
landmark is.
