The '''Bottle Bug''' is the only bug found  within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. These bugs prefer to hide in small holes under rocks and bushes.{{Ref|OoT|130|In-Game Description}}{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]''|An ordinary and unassuming insect. It no doubt longs to crawl into a dark hole.|Item Screen Description}}  [[Link]] can capture a bug by scooping it into a [[bottle]] or purchase it in certain shops for 100 [[Rupee]]s.  

If Link releases a bug near a patch of [[Soft Soil]], the bug reveals a [[Gold Skulltula]]. Link may also sell the bug to a shop for 50 Rupees. In ''Majora's Mask'', Link can also release bugs in patches of soft soil to receive [[Arrow]]s, Rupees, or [[Bomb]]s. If a bottled bug is released, three bugs will come out from the bottle, which gives Link the possibility to catch them again and increase the bug supply. This can be used to make a good amount of Rupees as Link can sell all but one bug, release it and catch the bugs coming out of the bottle, and repeat the process. It can be sold to the [[Beggar]] in the [[Castle Town|Market]] as a child or [[Kakariko Village]] as an adult for 50 Rupees.{{Ref|OoT|2020|[[Beggar]]}}
