'''Golden Bugs''' are sidequest items featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. As their name suggests, they are insects that are scattered all across the overworld of [[Hyrule]]. A child in [[Hyrule Castle Town]] named [[Agitha]] fancies these bugs and sent invitations to 24 bugs around Hyrule for the ball. Unfortunately, it seems none have arrived, and she asks for [[Link|Link's]] help in bringing all the bugs to [[Agitha's Castle|her castle]].<ref>{{cite|I've invited the 24 golden bugs of the world to the ball, but... I don't know if they got lost on the way or what...but they're not here, that's for sure. [...] Oh, boy, if you have a bug with you now, please give it to me. The ball must begin!|Agitha|TP}}</ref> She will pay Link generously upon finding and giving her the bugs. Collecting them all leads to two [[wallet]] upgrades, each with a higher maximum [[Rupee]] capacity. The collection of Golden Bugs is an optional sidequest and is not required for completion of the game.
==Location and Uses==
==={{TP|-}}===
In {{TP}}, {{Plural|TPHD|Golden Bug}} glow and make a shimmering sound. They can be attracted with the {{Term|TPHD|Lantern|link}}. Some {{Plural|TPHD|Golden Bug}} are out of reach, so {{Term|TPHD|Link|link}} must use the {{Term|TPHD|Clawshot|link}} or {{Term|TPHD|Gale Boomerang|link}} to collect them. There are 12 types of {{Plural|TPHD|Golden Bug}}, including a male and female of each type, for a total of 24. Both male and female variations of a single {{Term|TPHD|Golden Bug}} can be found in the same general area.<ref>{{Cite|I've invited the 24 golden bugs of the world to the ball, but... I don't know if they got lost on the way or what...but they're not here, that's for sure. [...] Oh, boy, if you have a bug with you now, please give it to me. The ball must begin!|Agitha|TP}}</ref>


==Collecting Golden Bugs==
After giving {{Term|TPHD|Agitha|link}} the first {{Term|TPHD|Golden Bug}}, she will reward {{Term|TPHD|Link}} with the {{Term|TPHD|Big Wallet|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|...You actually went bug hunting for me, didn't you? To be honest, I doubted you would... I guess some might consider me a poor- mannered princess...From now on, if you bring me insects, I'll share my happiness with you. You can keep it in this!|Agitha|TP}}</ref> From then on, giving {{Term|TPHD|Agitha}} a {{Term|TPHD|Golden Bug}} will reward {{Term|TPHD|Link}} with a {{Term|TPHD|Purple Rupee|link}} (50). Giving her a pair of the same {{Term|TPHD|Golden Bug}} will reward him with an {{Term|TPHD|Orange Rupee|link}} (100).<ref>{{Cite|If any bug becomes part of a pair, I think I'll be able to share GREAT happiness with you!|Agitha|TP}}</ref> Once {{Term|TPHD|Link}} gives a {{Term|TPHD|Golden Bug}} to {{Term|TPHD|Agitha}}, it will be marked on the collection screen with a butterfly. After giving all 24 {{Plural|TPHD|Golden Bug}} to {{Term|TPHD|Agitha}}, {{Term|TPHD|Link}} will be rewarded with the {{Term|TPHD|Giant's Wallet|link}}.
The Golden Bugs glow, are easier to find at night, and are attracted to Link's [[lantern]], making them easier to catch. Some of them may be out of reach and Link will need to use the [[Clawshot]] or [[Gale Boomerang]] to collect them. When Link is near a Golden Bug, he will hear the distinctive twinkling sound.


There are 12 types of Golden Bugs, and a male (♂) and female (♀) of each type, for a total of 24 to bring back to Agitha for her bug ball. Both male and female variations of a single bug exist relatively in the same area, thus making the hunting for a gender pair easier.
In {{TPHD}}, {{Term|TPHD|Agitha}} will also give {{Term|TPHD|Link}} a {{Term|TPHD|Miiverse Stamp|link}} of herself upon delivering half of the {{Plural|TPHD|Golden Bug}}.


==Rewards==
====Locations====
Upon giving Agitha just one Golden Bug, Link receives Agitha's "happiness" and a [[Wallet|Big Wallet]], capable of carrying 600 [[Rupees]] at a time.<ref>{{cite|...You actually went bug hunting for me, didn't you? To be honest, I doubted you would... I guess some might consider me a poor- mannered princess...From now on, if you bring me insects, I'll share my happiness with you. You can keep it in this!|Agitha|TP}}</ref> From then on, each individual bug will yield Link 50 Rupees, and 100 Rupees for bringing in both the male and female pairs of the same bug,<ref>{{cite|If any bug becomes part of a pair, I think I'll be able to share GREAT happiness with you!|Agitha|TP}}</ref> giving Link up to 1750 Rupees in total. Upon collecting the entire set, Link receives the [[Wallet|Giant's Wallet]] from the girl, a large satchel with a maximum carrying capacity of 1000 Rupees.

Golden Bugs are recurring Items and objects in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]

Location and Uses

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Golden Bugs glow and make a shimmering sound. They can be attracted with the Lantern. Some Golden Bugs are out of reach, so Link must use the Clawshot or Gale Boomerang to collect them. There are 12 types of Golden Bugs, including a male and female of each type, for a total of 24. Both male and female variations of a single Golden Bug can be found in the same general area.[2]

After giving Agitha the first Golden Bug, she will reward Link with the Big Wallet.[3] From then on, giving Agitha a Golden Bug will reward Link with a Purple Rupee (50). Giving her a pair of the same Golden Bug will reward him with an Orange Rupee (100).[4] Once Link gives a Golden Bug to Agitha, it will be marked on the collection screen with a butterfly. After giving all 24 Golden Bugs to Agitha, Link will be rewarded with the Giant Wallet.

In Twilight Princess HD, Agitha will also give Link a Miiverse Stamp of herself upon delivering half of the Golden Bugs.

Non-Canon Information
This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

In Hyrule Warriors, Golden Bugs appear as part of Agitha's attacks. She can summon swarms of Golden Bugs as well as giant ones. She specifically uses female Golden Butterflies and male Golden Beetles for her insect related attacks.

Trivia

  • After capturing a Golden Bug in Twilight Princess, it does not disappear; rather, another one takes its place even though Link can not bring back more than one, as it will be released after collecting it again. After Link releases a Golden Bug he already captured, it will release a Heart.
  • If Link has Golden Bugs in his possession that he has not given to Agitha and tries to leave her castle, she will angrily mutter to his back.[5]
  • The menu description for the male and female Golden Snails mention that possibility that they might actually be the opposite sex.[6] This is a reference to the fact that snails are actually hermaphrodites, so there are no male or female snails. In the French version of the game, the description refers to the snail as "A golden-bodied ♂♀ snail."
