In, TWWHD: is a local sea merchant who travels the TWWHD: in search of profit. Although his sales pitch is unmatched, he unfortunately never seems to get any luck.

He sells a wide range of products, from NaN Arrows and NaN Bombs to TWWHD: for NaN Fishs and NaN Hyoi Pears. As TWWHD: progresses and acquires different NaN Items, TWWHD: will provide him with the necessary ammunition to replenish that certain TWWHD:.

When used, Beedle merely compliments Link, although most of his other rewards are useful. Beedle's favorite things are bugs, especially beetles.

At the TWWHD:, TWWHD: assumes an alternate identity as his own TWWHD:. When TWWHD: first visits the shop, TWWHD: asserts that they've never met before. He refuses to buy NaN Spoils and denies being Beedle, despite the fact that he appears on TWWHD:. TWWHD: sells rarer, more expensive items: Empty Bottles, a Piece of Heart, and a Treasure Chart leading to another Piece of Heart.

TMC: first appears in TMC: during the TMC: in, selling fruits.

In, PH: operates PH: as in , except that he has only one ship that appears in random locations in the TWWHD:.

In, ST: runs ST:. ST: can see his balloon flying around the ST: prior to actually being able to enter it. At a certain point, ST: receives a ST: stating that his ST: just opened. ST: can get ST:'s attention from then on by blowing the ST:'s ST: when he is nearby. He will land by, allowing ST: to stop by it like any other ST:. ST: can get NaN Beedle's Membership Cards, allowing him to save up a point for every ten NaN Rupees spent. ST: can earn rewards after passing certain point milestones.

[[SS -]]
Beedle appears again in SS undefined, this time selling wares in a flying house, Beedle's Airshop. He operates this ship by pedaling a bicycle which powers an electric generator that drives some gears. He sells Medals, additional Wallets, and his most valuable item, a Piece of Heart. Asking Beedle about his Piece of Heart before buying it will yield the response that he does not actually know what it is, and picked it up from somewhere nearby and decided to sell it. Should Link look at something of Beedle's and attempt to leave without purchasing anything, Beedle will rant at Link about how much effort he needs to exert to hold Link's weight and decides to punish him by activating a trap door under his feet.

During the night, Beedle and his ship retire to an island in the sky called Beedle's Island. Falling asleep in his ship will allow Link to visit the shopkeeper on his island during the night, and if the young hero falls asleep in his ship during the night, it will return him to Skyloft. While resting on his island, Beedle will sit and talk with Link whilst admiring the Horned Colossus Beetle caged in his lap. Here, his diction makes a dramatic change with an above average vocabulary and without the joyful yells he is known for. Link can ask about his altered demeanor, but Beedle does not appear to notice any difference, and will dismiss the question as unimportant.

After Strich settles in the Bug Rock, Beedle will inform Link that his Horned Colossus Beetle has gone missing and asks the young hero to help him look for his prized possession. If Link flies to Bug Rock, he will find out that Strich has discovered a Horned Colossus Beetle. Upon learning that the Bug belongs to Beedle, he states that he will only let Link have the legendary bug after he plays Bug Heaven, which requires the young hero to catch 10 Bugs in under 3 minutes. If Link succeeds, he will obtain the rare beetle from Strich, and can return the Horned Colossus Beetle to Beedle to receive 5 Gratitude Crystals. As an additional reward, the shopkeeper allows the hero to buy any item from his Airshop at half price.

In, Beedle can be found walking around Hyrule, mostly close to Stables. He travels Hyrule on foot instead of by boat or airship like in previous titles. His backpack is shaped like a Beetle, which customers can remember him by. Beedle stocks items such as Arrows and Materials, claiming to carry many "special Bugs." He also offers to buy things from Link, offering a high price for Gemstones.

If Link speaks to Beedle with a beetle in his inventory, Beedle will ask for it in exchange for a random BotW: or Elixir. His favorite is the Energetic Rhino Beetle, which he says is rare. If Link denies his request, he claims his deal was good and the beetle wants to be with him. He mutters to himself that he'll sneak into Link's inventory and replace it with a regular beetle, but quickly decides to hire someone else to do it. He's surprised to see Link is still there.

Beedle is a Master Spirit who owns and operates Beedle's Tent in. Beedle will excitedly greet anyone who enters his Tent, praising anyone who purchases from him. If all of Beedle's stock is purchased, he will announce that he is going to retrieve new wares.

's appearance in Beedle's Spirit Battle is a reference to Beedle's attire, whereas Toon Link's appearance is an allusion to the Hero's Clothes worn by Link in and, as well as the Recruit Uniform in. The presence of is likely an allusion to the Forest Realm of New Hyrule.

CoH: is a merchant who hid himself away in order to protect himself from the sudden influx of monsters in CoH:. He wants to make a profit off the NaN Diamonds that monsters drop, selling NaN Weapons and other equipment to adventurers in exchange for NaN Diamonds in the hopes of cashing in on them. The location of his shops are random, but there will always be two hidden throughout the land either in the CoH:, CoH:, or CoH: biomes. His shops are always hidden in caves behind mounds of dirt, which must be dug away by a CoH: or blown up with an explosive. The goods that he sells are also randomized but he will always sell an CoH: in each shop for four NaN Diamonds. Once his goods are bought, they will never restock.
