Beedle was one of the more memorable additions to recent Zelda games, showing up in all the Toon Link games, along with Skyward Sword. The quirky merchant is always on the move, be it by boat or hot air balloon, and becomes a familiar face in your travels through the overworld. Sure, his prices can be outrageous at times, but at least there's loyalty program benefits if you keep coming back to stock up on supplies.
Nintendo has been posting screenshots of Breath of the Wild over the past few months in the lead up to release, and the latest screenshot seems to show that the lovable salesman will be opening up shop yet again in the new game. As you can see in the screenshot above, Link is chilling outside a decidedly equestrian hut, while a suspiciously similar character approaches from the left with a beetle-shaped backpack. It wouldn't be entirely surprising if Beedle made a return appearance, but we can't help but wonder what kind of vehicle he'll utilize this time around.
What do you think? Would you like Beedle to return? What other traditional series aspects do you hope to see in this game? Drop us a comment in the section below.

I hope that giant horse head like structure is a hot air balloon and that's how he gets around, the entire hut is a hot air balloon gondola.
I think this 1 pic is the best news I've seen out of Nintendo or on this website in about a month. Hopefully the beginning of good times ahead.
This game is only reason I am buying switch. There is no other reason.
Thank you!
The horses are different colors. Maybe the colors mean they have different abilities like yoshi's.
I spent a very long time buying lots of items in Wind Waker just to get the Silver and Gold memberships at his shop. It was completely worth it
I wonder what sort of crazy vehicle Beedle will kick Link out of this time? XD I'm not overly fond of the character (His "Oooooh!" annoys me), but it'll still be nice to see a familiar face.
45 minute video incoming on Gamexplain...
This one screenshot has made me more excited for BotW than any other media Nintendo has released for the game so far!
@InternetBowser I'm hoping for Morshu as one of the salesmen
Nice .. looking forward to next week!! 😬
Beedle's rewards program is better than Nintendo's.
@LegendOfPokemon ....lol.
So another Wind Waker element to go with that Korok we saw? I hope the cloaked figure turns out to be Tetra, then. That would be great.
@LArachelDisciple I hope this is a wind waker sequel/ follow up. I also hope that you can sail the seas ala wind waker. I also hope that Nintendo will finally take my advice and make me a NPC in the game.
Just curious: Does this dude's presence in the article's title count as spoiler?
Looking nice Breath of the Wild! Keep it up.
Beedle's in the game? Day 1 purchase.
@SteamedSquid "No, Link. I am your father. Thank you! BYE!"
YES! BEEDLE IS BACK!
Sadly, Groose probably won't reappear as our loose lord is hated by Nintendo.
Whatcha gonna do when Beedlemania runs wild on you, brother?!?
I like Beedle.
I'm hoping the horse head balloon is a foreshadowing of the return of Horsehead as a boss too.
Everyone acting like this is big news? He's an NPC salesman character that says one word, annoyingly I might add, and has zero plot relevance. My, how standards have dropped.
@LetsGoRetro Some people like him. Don't be such a stuck up jerk.
Beedle is the best Zelda character. There, I said it.
Yeah, yeah, that's great, but now where's The Happy Mask Salesman? (Not to undermine Beedle's return, I'm very happy about this, but he's only my second favorite traveling merchant in the series.)
@Dr_Corndog Still sucks that he's not playable in Hyrule Warriors Legends.
That is one sexy screenshot! I am so excited for this!!!!
@WiltonRoots Too true.
That single image has me more hyped than ever. More please! 😊
I don't think the person looks like Beedle.
Just a question, why does it seem like all the screenshots and videos look diffused or blurry?
i hope the game starts with an old man in a cave giving you a sword.
@LegendOfPokemon
Hahaha
2016: the year E3 was in January 2017. Hype!!
I think he's just a travelling merchant in this game, no "vehicle". Looks like he's just walking around with that big beetle-shaped backpack.
Excellent caption. 9.5/10
Beedle's About
I hope the Happy man salesman will be in it, love the mystery about him.
@andjahiam
Dude, just buy it for Wii U then.
@andjahiam when people ask why is Nintendo in the situation they are in these days, look no further than comments like this guy's, folks.
Lol, he is a bit like Nintendo. He sometimes gives you loyalty rewards, wich are totally useless!
By the way: I am more intrigued by the thing on the horse's nose. Is that skullkid?!
I'm not sure if it's really he, or this is a new Long long ranch xD But step by step the new Hyrule land is becoming more lively and better
For other side, I think you can equip your horses here and maybe... Find Epona ?? xD
I would love a mechanic in the game that makes you choose what kind of profession you have, and that you can have a steady income of rupees outside of adventuring. Like, you want to be a hunter, so you go hunting on animals and bring their flesh to a butcher. Or you want to be a merchant, so your whole life is a big trading quest. Things like that.
Well, maybe it wont be that fun. But it's an idea!
I am so looking forward to playing this game! It looks gorgeous!
