The '''Golden Bee''', also known as '''Good Bee''' in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', is a [[Bee]] that [[Link]] can catch using the [[Bug Net]] and release against other enemies.

==''A Link to the Past''==

[[File:Good-Bee-1.png|left]]The Golden Bee is a legendary bee that can only be found in two places in this game. This bee is stronger than a regular [[Bee]] and will never fly away from Link. To catch it, Link can go to the cave where the [[Ice Rod]] is obtained. In the cave next to that one, Link can find a [[Fairy Fountain]] with two fairies and a fairy statue. Dash into the Fairy Statue with the [[Pegasus Boots]] and a Golden Bee will appear. Like regular bees, Golden Bees also can be caught and stored in a [[Bottle]] using the [[Bug Net]].{{Ref|'''Nester's Adventures''' short comic about The Golden Bee from Nintendo Power Magazines - Issue 036, [https://www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album{{=}}344&pid{{=}}10003#top_display_media page 100]}}

Link also can sell the Golden Bee to the [[Street Merchant]] in [[Kakariko Village]] who had previously sold Link a [[Bottle]]. Release the Golden Bee near him and when it touches him, he will give Link 100 rupees. In the Game Boy Advance version, if Link shows the Golden Bee to the shopkeeper of Bottled Goods Shop in the [[Village of Outcasts]], he will start to sell the Golden Bee for 88 Rupees.

==''A Link Between Worlds''==

Golden Bees can be found in the grass, but are much rarer than regular [[Bee]]s. Additionally, they can be obtained by paying 888 Rupees to the [[Mysterious Man]] dwelling in a cave in the [[Skull Woods (Location)|Skull Woods]] portion of [[Lorule]]. Besides the Mysterious Man, the [[Item Seller]] in [[Thieves' Town]] will sell them for 9,999 Rupees, being the maximum amount of Rupees that Link can possibly hold. After catching one and giving it to the [[Bee Guy]], he thanks Link by giving him the [[Bee Badge]]. This prevents Bees from stinging Link and instead makes them fight enemies fearlessly alongside him, doing three times the amount of damage. Golden Bees are worth 300 rupees when sold.
