10 Most Beloved Supporting Characters In The Legend Of Zelda

10. Beedle

Trade can be a very profitable business in The Legend of Zelda, with many of the merchants Link encounters on his travels asking extortionate sums for fairly run of the mill items. Money might talk in Hyrule, but never with a more welcome voice than that of everyone's favourite afro sporting businessman: Beedle.

Introduced in The Wind Waker as a travelling shopkeeper, Beedle's shop is kitted out with bait, Hyoi Pears and (once unlocked) bombs to make sure Link has the chance to top up his inventory virtually everywhere he sails. Beedle also has a penchant for acting, as he pretends to be his own 'Assistant Manager' at Rock Spire Island and offers some more premium wares for a limited time only.

While some characters introduced in The Wind Waker never made another appearance, Beedle has shown up in six Zelda games to date, including the series prequel 'Skyward Sword' which implies there has always been a Beedle somewhere in Hyrule. He also appeared in Breath of the Wild, meaning it's very likely we will see him once again in the sequel.

We might even see him return in any future Super Smash Bros. title, hopefully as a playable character and not just a merchant.
