[The Legend of Zelda] I know why there are multiple Zeldas and Links, but why are there multiple Beedles throughout the games?

I'm not that well-versed in Zelda lore, but I know that this loop Hylia, her Hero and Ganon are in is because of the curse Demise cast on Link and Zelda in *Skyward Sword*, so they reincarnate and are apparently destined to keep fighting each other for the rest of time. But why do we see Beedle in multiple games? Did he also have a curse cast on him or something?

Demise's curse only extended to Zelda and Link. Only they were bound with him in the cycle of reincarnation, struggle, and death.

Over countless cycles, however, other bits of Hyrule were dragged along with them. Their footsteps, repeated over and over, began to wear a trail into reality. Patterns started to emerge, and as they did, it became easier for future cycles of struggle to fall into those patterns. Link travels across Hyrule, helping those in need and collecting objects of power, because that's what happened before. Zelda is born a princess who becomes learned in magic, because that's how Zeldas have always lived.

Gradually, as the pattern became more entrenched, other bits got swept up in it. The Gorons challenge the Hero to a contest of skill, strength, or wit. Impa, the teacher and protector, watches after the
Princess. A ruler of unusual power and ambition is born to the Gerudo of the deep desert. Even the kingdom itself is tied deeply to this cycle, persisting unnaturally long when it should have long since crumbled, reformed, or been replaced with something else countless times. It's become necessary to the great Story, and fate preserves it so the story can play out, again and again. There *is* a kingdom of Hyrule because there *has been* a kingdom of Hyrule, and there *will be* a kingdom of Hyrule.

Beedle is just one of countless bits of flotsam caught in the currents of fate, doomed to endlessly resurface with the Hero, the Princess, and the Tyrant: his role is the Merchant, who barters with the Hero.

This continued without end until the King of Red Lions allowed the ruts in fate to be smoothed out, mercifully washed clean in the divine Flood.
