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."
