Beedle: Difference between revisions

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Beedle is a local sea merchant who travels the [[Great Sea]] in search of profit,<ref>{{Cite manual| quote= Beedle runs Beedle's Shop Ship, a traveling boatload of values that sails between several islands of the Great Sea.| game= The Wind Waker| page= 22}}</ref> but unfortunately never seems to get any luck. His dangerous travels accommodate the perceptibility of his business, so there is certainly some point in [[Link]]'s quest that he will come across this merchant. He sells a wide range of products, from [[Arrow]]s and [[Bomb]]s to [[Bait]] for fish and [[Hyoi Pear]]s.<ref>{{Cite manual| quote= You can buy All-Purpose Bait, Hyoi Pears, Bombs, Arrows, and Red Potions from most of his locations.| game= The Wind Waker| page= 22}}</ref>  As Link progresses and acquires different weapons, Beedle will provide him with the necessary ammunition to replenish that certain weapon. Most of his products are of important significance, such as the [[Bait Bag]],<ref>{{Cite manual| quote= Beedle is the merchant who travels across the Great Sea in his Ship Shop, selling wares that include the valuable Bait Bag.| game= The Wind Waker| page= 160}}</ref> which can purchased at the very beginning, and allows Link to collect various types of bait. His appearance and attitude may shock some, but he is a generous person who will give his customers affordable prices compared to other shops. Beedle often sends Link things through the mail system used throughout The Great Sea, including his very own [[Special Charts#Beedle's Chart|chart]] to help the young hero locate Beedle.<ref>{{cite| We're having an extra-special sale on this choice item for a limited time only!
