Golden Bugs
The Golden Bugs are a group of special bugs featured in Twilight Princess. There are 24 of them in total,[1] and they have been scattered across the land of Hyrule. Princess Agitha has asked Link to collect the bugs because she had invited them to her ball, but they never came.[2] She rewards Link for his help with very nice gifts. These bugs are one-of-a-kind, thus they are very rare and difficult to find. There is a male and female variant for each type of bug, equaling 12 types of bug.
