In chapter 5 of the Phantom Hourglass manga by Akira Himekawa, Link must take the long way around Cannon Island, being chased by Bees along the way, to reach the rear entrance to Eddo's Garage. He finally arrives at the Garage to find Linebeck already seated inside, requesting a refill of tea.[16] When Eddo angrily asks how he managed to get in through the locked front door, Linebeck responds by showing his Member's Card for Eddo's Garage, which states "Not in the video game" in its fine print.[17]
Member's Card
Member's Cards,(OoSOracle of Seasons | TWWThe Wind Waker | PHPhantom Hourglass)[1][2][3] also known as Beedle's Club Membership Cards,(STSpirit Tracks)[4] are recurring Items and Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.
Location and Uses
Oracle of Seasons
The Member's Card can be bought at the Subrosia Market for five Ore Chunks. The Card is required to access the basement of the Horon Village Shop, which is reserved exclusively for Card-holding members.[5]
The Wind Waker
Beedle creates the Member's Card after Link makes one purchase at his Shop Ship, and he uses it to keep track of Link's points in the shop's membership program.[2] Beedle will assign a single point to the Card for each individual purchase after it is made. It is never seen or given directly to Link.
Depending on the amount of points accumulated on the Member's Card, Link can attain higher levels of membership, which allow Link to receive gifts that can be redeemed at any of Beedle's Shop Ships.[6]
Phantom Hourglass
After Link makes his first purchase from Beedle's Shop Ship, Beedle will prepare a Member's Card for him.[3] It is never seen or given directly to Link. Beedle will assign a single point to the Card for every 100 Rupees spent in the Shop.[7]
Spirit Tracks
Beedle offers Link a Membership with his business that details a reward system if he continues to provide Beedle with his patronage. To accept the Membership, Link must pay a fee of 100 Rupees. The Club Card and all subsequent Member's Cards will be sent to Link via Letters.
For every 10 Rupee spent, Link gains one point towards the next Membership rank. As long as Link buys items in Beedle's Air Shop, he will continue to accumulate points, but after he has obtained the final Membership available, the point system will cease, as nothing further can be acquired through it.
The purpose of the Membership is to benefit both parties: as Beedle sees an increase in the purchasing of his products, Link gets price discounts, Items that can be redeemed in Beedle's Air Shop, and even Treasures in return for his valued patronage. Each Membership comes with a different perk, and as the memberships increase in value, so do the value and significance of the bonuses that come in conjunction with the Memberships.
