This is a comprehensive list of all the Business Scrubs in the game. All locations are named as they are in the spoiler log and are accompanied by pictures and item requirements. The purpose of this page is to aid players in finding all the Business Scrubs spread throughout Hyrule.
All weapons can be used to stun the Business Scrubs, including swords and Deku Sicks. A well-timed and well-spaced jump slash will do the trick. Shields will reflect nuts, with the exception of Hylian Shield as child and Mirror Shield as adult.
The location names of the stable version will be changed on the next release. When this happens, this page will be updated to reflect the new location names. Feel free to remind me on Discord if I forget. ;)
