Beetle (Item)

Template:Future game
Template:Item The Beetle is an item featured in Skyward Sword.

Uses

As its name suggests, the beetle is a small, flying insect that can be used to pick up far away items such as Rupees or hearts, or even drop things onto foes. Any items that the Beetle picks up will be returned to Link. The Beetle can be seen grabbing a bomb and dropping it on a boulder on the gameplay trailer of Skyward Sword.

When Link uses the Beetle, the camera will switch to just behind the insect. Players will be able to steer the Beetle by just tilting the Wii remote in the desired direction; however, if the insect bumps into a wall or is hurt by an enemy, the Beetle will be knocked down and Link will be forced to re-equip it to try again, similar to how Link controls seagulls in The Wind Waker.

The Beetle can be upgraded in the Skyview Temple to have a mandible so that it will be able to pick up items. Another upgrade will also allow it to move faster.
