Golden Bugs
The Golden Bugs are a group of special items featured in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. There are twenty-four (24) of them in total, 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. She will reward Link for his help with very nice gifts. These bugs are one-of-a-kind, thus they are very rare and difficult to find.
