Revision as of 19:18, 26 June 2014
[[File:File:Goldenbugs.png.png|20x20px]] [[|]]
Golden Bugs are sidequest items featured in Twilight Princess. As their name suggests, they are insects that are scattered all across the overworld of Hyrule. A girl in Hyrule Castle Town named Agitha fancies these bugs and sent invitations to 24 bugs around Hyrule for her ball. She asks for Link's help in bringing all the bugs to her castle.[1] She will pay Link 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.
Collecting Golden Bugs
Golden Bugs can be caught at any time, but their glow makes them easier to spot at night. They 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, including a male and female of each type, for a total of 24. Both male and female variations of a single bug exist relatively in the same area, thus making the hunting for a gender pair easier.
Rewards
Upon giving Agitha just one Golden Bug, Link receives a Big Wallet, capable of carrying 600 Rupees.[2] From then on, each individual bug will yield Link 50 Rupees, and 100 Rupees for bringing a pair of the same bug,[3] giving Link up to 1750 Rupees in total. Upon collecting all 24 bugs, Link receives the Giant's Wallet which holds 1000 Rupees.

Trivia
- The menu description for the male and female snails mention that possibility that they might actually be the opposite sex.[4] This is a reference to the fact that snails are actually hermaphrodites, and so there are no male or female snails.

- If Link has Golden Bugs in his possession that he has not given to Agitha and tries to leave Agitha's Castle, she angrily mutters to his back "I know you have bugs..."[5]
- After capturing a Golden Bug, it doesn't disappear; another one takes its place even though Link can not bring back more than one of the same type and sex as it will be released after obtaining it agin. After Link lets go of a bug he already captured, it will release a Heart.
