The Beetle resembles the insect of the same name and it is a small mechanical-like device that can fly to reach areas Link could not reach himself. Players equip the Beetle to the B-button and release it with the A-button, thus taking control of the item with Wii Motion Plus as it flies through the air, given a third-person perspective from behind the Beetle as it flies.
