Not to be confused with a certain Potterverse bard, Beedle is an enthusiastic traveling merchant who has cropped up time and time again throughout the Zelda series, often running mobile shops that reflect the game's gimmick. His appearances so far have been in Wind Waker set up in a small submarine, Skyward Sword in a flying shop he powers by his own strength, and in Breath of the Wild carrying around an enormous pack.

Naturally, this variety of shops and the elements that come with them can be utilized in various ways, such as the rope he lowers to let customers climb up and the trapdoor he uses to get rid of those "merely browsing" in Skyward Sword, or simply the sheer size of his Wild pack. On top of that, we have the items he sells, though we should probably mostly stick to those things he specifically sells on a consistent basis.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Side B: Item Purchase

This is a fun idea that I liked, though if it doesn't work, there are other options. The way I see it working is that he will toss out any item from the game's item pool to just sit on the ground for anyone to pick up. Whoever picks up said item, however, will have to pay a price with their health points, that price depending on the general effectiveness of the item (say, a Mr. Saturn might dock a mere five percent off while something big like the Dragoon would go up to maybe a hundred). Again, don't know what it would take to make it work, but it would fit well with him.

Side B: Giant Pack

His big beetle-sized pack will prove too big for him and he will topple over backwards, smashing anyone caught underneath.

Up B: Ring the Bell

His flying shop will appear over his head and lower its rope down for him to grab onto, carrying him up to the shop's level and letting him stand on it as a platform for a short time.

Down B: Pouch

One of the most common items sold by him specifically. He will grab any projectile sent his way and store it, Villager-style. He will be able to carry a certain amount before running out of room.

Final Smash: Just Browsing

He will get on his stationary bike and run a player through. That player will end up in his shop and he will give them the spiel he gives Link before pulling a cord and dropping them out of a trapdoor, leading to them KOing at the bottom of the stage.

Entrance: He will be sitting at his shop, look up, and say "Oooh!"

Taunts: Up, he will heft his large pack on his back for a second. Side, he will get on his stationary bike and work out for a second. Down, he will sit cross-legged and lay out some of his wares.

Thanks for reading! Next week, we cover Ilia, and to a broader extent, the villagers of Ordon Village.
