We searched Google and compiled a list of the most asked questions relating to this, often misunderstood character.
Who is Beedle?
Beedle is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series of video games published by Nintendo. He first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the Nintendo GameCube and has since made appearances in several other games in the series.
Beedle is a traveling merchant who operates various shops in different locations throughout the games. He often sells items that are useful to the player character, such as potions, arrows, and other supplies. In addition to his role as a merchant, Beedle is known for his distinctive appearance, which includes a large backpack and a hat that covers his eyes. He is also known for his friendly, slightly eccentric personality, which has made him a popular character among fans of the series.
When was Beedles first appearance?
Beedle's first appearance was in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, which was released for the Nintendo GameCube in Japan in December 2002, in North America in March 2003, and in Europe in May 2003. In The Wind Waker, Beedle operates a traveling shop called Beedle's Shop, which Link can visit and purchase various items from. Since then, Beedle has appeared in several other games in The Legend of Zelda series, including:
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (2007)
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (2009)
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)
Is Beedle immortal?
There is no indication in any of the games in The Legend of Zelda series that Beedle is immortal. He is simply a recurring character who appears in several different games, selling items to the player character, often at inflated prices. While some characters in the series, such as the various incarnations of Link and Zelda, are depicted as reincarnated across time, there is no such indication that Beedle shares this trait. So, it is safe to assume that Beedle is a mortal character in The Legend of Zelda series.
Is Beedle a boy or a girl?
Beedle's gender is not explicitly stated in any of the games in The Legend of Zelda series, so it is unclear whether Beedle is a boy or a girl. In some games, Beedle is referred to using masculine pronouns, such as "he" and "him," while in other games, Beedle is referred to using gender-neutral language, such as "they" and "them." Some fans speculate that Beedle may be gender-fluid or non-binary, but ultimately, there is no definitive answer to this question as it is left open to interpretation.
Why does Beedle want my beetle?
In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, there is a side quest where Beedle asks Link for a Golden Beetle. Beedle is interested in collecting rare and exotic insects, and the Golden Beetle is a particularly valuable and elusive specimen. If Link brings Beedle a Golden Beetle, he will reward Link with a large amount of Rupees, which are the in-game currency.
It's worth noting that the Golden Beetle is not a required item for completing the main quest of the game, and the side quest involving Beedle and the Golden Beetle is entirely optional. However, completing the quest and collecting rare insects can be a fun and rewarding side activity for players who want to explore the game world and engage with its various characters.
