The '''Bug Medal''' is an optional item found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. It is one of the seven different medals found within the game, all with their own effects on [[Link]].

Link can obtain the Bug Medal by purchasing it from [[Beedle's Air Shop]] after he has bought the [[Bug Net]]. When he approaches it, [[Beedle]] explains that when Link carries the medal, he is be able to see where [[bugs]] are found on the map and describes it as a necessity if he likes catching bugs. Being one of the more expensive items, Beedle sells the Bug Medal for 1,000 [[Rupee]]s.{{Ref|SS|2960|Beedle}} If he has returned Beedle's [[Beedle's Insect Cage|Horned Colossus Beetle]] to him, he offers the next item Link buys at half the price.{{Ref|SS|2932|Beedle}} Due to this, Beedle can sell the Bug Medal at a less expensive price of 500 Rupees instead if Link has not used the discount yet.{{Ref|SS|2961|Beedle}}

When Link is carrying the Bug Medal, areas with bugs are marked with a green icon on his map, allowing him to see where bugs like to be at.{{Ref|SS|697|Gear Description}}{{Ref|pg. 182|At this point, it's a great plan to pester Beedle for a Bug Medal, which allows you to see where bugs are on your map, once equipped in one of your pouches.|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Strategy Guide''}} However, bugs are not always present at the icon and the Bug Medal does not give details on which types of bugs appear in the area.{{Ref|pg. 18|Note that bugs aren't always present at bug spawning points and that the Bug Medal doesn't tell you which types of bugs appear in a given area.|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Strategy Guide''}}
