    Beedle is a weird guy.
    It was the exact opposite of his boat service in Wind Waker. That one made sense since everyone had to travel by boat or lived on an island. But Skyward Sword Beedle? Dude didn't want business, I guess! I suppose you could make the argument that people could use the birds to get to his shop, but that's an awfully small needle to thread without Link's equipment.

    In other news, I have thought about this too much, and I have been up for too long.

    Don't forget that if you don't buy anything, he just dumps you right out over the open sky. Most shopkeepers don't try to kill window shoppers.

    Although, Beedle's Shop Ship does have those skulls on it...
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    That sounds kind of troutty. That would piss me off too. Why would you think I would want to buy the thing I just sold you?

    There are several shops like that in Rune Factory. However, once you've sold an item, they can carry an unlimited number of that item. It's expensive, but you can use it to great effect to collect rare resources for making higher level gear or farm tools.
