Beedle in Phantom Hourglass

[Adam_148]

I was reading the instruction booklet for the European Version of PH (I'm sad, I know), and I was reading the page about Beedle's Ship shop, and it said he was called Terry. Now when I played PH this morning, I checked what his shop was called Beedle's shop. Does this occur in other instruction booklets, or has Nintendo of Europe mistranslated the Instruction Booklet?

Strange, I've never noticed that before. He's also called Terry in my Dutch manual...

Does anyone have his Japanese name?

I checked Zelda Wiki, it has nothing on his japanese name

[Daemonius]

Yup, Terry is his Japanese name: GameFAQs: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GC) FAQ/Walkthrough by JL Lee

English name...<_< I see his name has been "translated" as either Terry or Terri (German IIRC) in other languages, so I guess that's what his name was supposed to be. Most likely the English translation team thought Beedle would be a more fitting name for him...

[omega12]

Beedle is a more awesome name though!

either he thinks he looks cool, or he uses it because he thinks it is a good disguise so people won't want to steal off him if they think regular Beedle isn't Masked Beedle
Also, Beedle is his last name, his first name is Terry, he's Terry Beedle j/k

Terry, i never mentioned that. Nintendo always change names in Zelda games... No fair

You ninja'd me.
Would you like to play as Rinku instead of Link? Would you like the games to be called the Legend of Zeruda?

Rinku is a nice name... But yes, the Legend of Zeruda is a pretty bad name for a game... You got me there.

Muahahah! They should have at least kept Terry in the game, possibly giving it to Beedle as a first name, or Tingle's real name. Terry Beedle, or Terry the Tingle. hmm...

[zeldace6400]

terry the tingle definitely, sounds better, beedle should be his first name and terry bbeing his last so you would always think it sounded weird, just like him!

[thrairth]

I'm feeling bad for anyone named Terry right now. lol

[TwilitHero]

^ Yeah, i agree. Terry's an ok name... but Beedle is just so much better. Who wouldnt love to be called Beedle?

Beedle the Bard! (slight Harry Potter reference there)
I want to be called Beedle, then I'd be awesome!

[Shadow Seeker]

I never really noticed, so it says his name is Terry? Thats weird.

only in the instruction booklet and japanese versions of WW, PH and MC
Terry the Tingle FTW

[LinebeckTheGood]

How... interesting. His real name is Terry? Beedle is still a better name though. It is extraordinary, like other people's names in the Zelda games.

You got it wrong, he is "only" called Tingle in the English versions of WW, PH and TMC, while he is called Terry in every other language and the manuals of PH...
