Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
FIRST PANEL
1: Beedle is singing The Inner Light in this panel. Which is a song by... The Beatles (Beedle/Beatles, get it?). Glad at least someone noticed a reference to the greatest band of all time, Lord Circe!
SECOND PANEL
2: A drawing of the king from the CD-i Zelda games is also visible under Beedle's tarp. Proud of you, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends, MAH BOY.
3: Next to that, there's a cute little drawing of a crewmate, as mentioned by Brandon Digwood!
4: The final reference on Beedle's tarp is indeed the cool S, Percylegallois!
THIRD PANEL
5: There's a dragon (not sure which one actually) passing overhead in this panel! Good eyes, Creeperkry!
FOURTH PANEL
6: A Moblin is wearing Beedle's backpack/shop in this panel. I think he'd make a great merchant, Calvin Barbanell.
FIFTH PANEL
7: Miep thinks she's a Lynel, apparently. She's sitting on the back of the big female Lynel in this panel. Found by Cameron Devera.
SIXTH PANEL
8: Credits go to Mink for the Family Guy Death Pose Bokoblin in this panel, Pokedude14!
9: We can see the female Lynel nocking three arrows since she's using a Lynel Bow here. Even though I think the arrow just splits into three in the actual game.
SEVENTH PANEL
10: Link and Pikachu seem to have picked up some Climbing Gear somewhere. I wonder how they found two pieces and how they tailored one to fit a rat.
EIGHTH PANEL
11: I slightly edited the banner above the entrance to the stable in this panel to show a horse running away from its (angry owner). Glad you caught that, Generic Hero.
12: A relatively detailed Loss is visible on the tapestry inside the stable. Guess it wasn't very subtle this week, Spirit of Gotham.
13: I put Koltin in the asylum kart because out of all the Zelda characters, he definitely seemed the most suited for an asylum, BenjaMan64.
14: Blupee Balthazar is watching the stable in the background, as pointed out by Williams Fan 92.
15: I decided to put the fictional Hyrule asylum in Lanayru because the area and the Zoras are associated with healing. Also, it seems like a nice place without too many triggers (except for the goop falling from the sky).
The details that not been found are marked italic.
Comments
Panel 8 has loss right behind link, on the frame in the stable

2023-10-07 17:49:54 +0000 UTCThis is an odd one to describe but I believe villager is throwing a bokoblin in panel 6 similar to how moblins do the same in botw/totk. I guess this also means he sided with them. Not sure if this is a smash reference; I know he can essentially store items and use them or throw them but I doubt thatβs the intention here

2023-10-06 22:05:08 +0000 UTCA character named Beedle is singing a song by a band called The Beatles. To me, those two names sound too similar for that to be a coincidence. Additional note about Beedle singing The Inner Light (this is NOT a detail (I think), just something I thought might be interesting to those unaware) - those specific lyrics are paraphrased from the philosophical writing Tao Te Ching 47, which reads βthe further one goes, the less one knows.β

2023-10-06 19:00:18 +0000 UTCBeedle is singing The Inner Light by the Beatles. I thought those lyrics sounded familiar.
Lord Circe
2023-10-06 18:40:49 +0000 UTCIn panel 3, while Beedle's being attacked from above, you can spot a dragon in the background.
Creeperkry
2023-10-06 16:49:59 +0000 UTCThe red bokoblin is in the Family Guy Death Pose

2023-10-06 15:57:10 +0000 UTCAMONG US PICTURE!!!
Marsala
2023-10-06 15:29:19 +0000 UTCThere is a Blupee/Balthazar in the last panel, on the top right corner
Kyuubi9110
2023-10-06 15:27:24 +0000 UTCThere seems to be a depiction of a horse provoking a poor Hylian on the stable roof
mad lad 07
2023-10-06 14:46:36 +0000 UTCBalthazar is in the top right-hand corner of the last panel.
Ipswich Town Fan 92
2023-10-06 14:25:14 +0000 UTCIn panel 4, a Moblin has decided to wear Beedle's stall. I wonder if he was planning to start work as a merchant?
Calvin Barbanell
2023-10-06 14:21:08 +0000 UTCKoltin is in Panel 8, also being taken to the Lanayru Mental Asylum. Guess his wish to turn into a Satori became too much so his brother this time is getting him the aid he actually needs.
BenjaMan64
2023-10-06 14:20:12 +0000 UTCFeel very pedestrian after the other callouts from Percylegallois and A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends, but the crewmate is in a drawing also on Beedle's awning in the second panel.
Brandon Digwood
2023-10-06 14:11:22 +0000 UTCThe cool S under the Beedle roof
Percylegallois
2023-10-06 14:05:24 +0000 UTCBeedle has a picture of King Harkinean under his tarp. It is what all true merchants strive for! ππ
A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends
2023-10-06 14:04:31 +0000 UTCThe stable in the last panel has a picture of a man and a very rude horse on its banner.
Generic Hero
2023-10-06 14:00:44 +0000 UTCLoss is on the wall in the back of the last panel
Spirit of Gotham
2023-10-06 14:00:16 +0000 UTCI see Miep sitting on the Mama Lynel in the 5th panel.
