Affordable Magic Armor

After the Master Sword, donate 1,000 Rupees to Malo Mart’s bridge repair. Deliver Gor Liggs’ Hot Springwater barrel to the Goron by the repaired bridge to reduce the shop takeover fund to 200 Rupees. Complete that donation, then buy Magic Armor at the Castle Town branch for 598 Rupees.
