NOTE: If you are playing the Gamecube version of this game, please take note
of the following. The Gamecube and Wii versions are mirrored, so if you
are playing the Gamecube version while reading this guide, reverse all
references to left/right and west/east. Meaning, when you see "east" in
this FAQ, consider it as being "west" instead. This FAQ was written
specifically for the Wii version, so keep this in mind.
In Castle Town, go to the eastmost house on the south road. That is Agitha's
Castle. Talk to her and she will ask for you to collect golden bugs for her
(24 total). If you find any of these bugs throughout the world (signified by
its golden glow), bring it back to her for a reward. For each bug you bring,
she will give 50 rupees. If you complete a pair, you will receive 100 rupees.
When you bring the first golden bug back to Agitha, she will give you the Big
Wallet, which holds up to 600 rupees. If you bring back all 24 bugs, she will
give you the Giant Wallet, which will hold a maximum of 1000 rupees. Please
note that Agitha may not always be at her house. She can also be found in
Hyrule Field just outside of the southern exit to Castle Town.
It should also be noted that golden bugs are relatively easy to see from a
distance due to their golden glow. By turning into a wolf and using your
senses, you will have an even easier time spotting the bugs. As an added
hint, when you are close to a golden bug's location, you will hear a faint
metallic chime sound (you'll know it when you hear it, since it's distinct).
1. Ant (Male)
Found: Graveyard
How to Collect: Check by the northwestern tree.

How to Collect: Check inside the house on the west side of town.
3. Mantis (Male)
Found: Hyrule Field (Lanayru Province)
How to Collect: Check the pillars at the north end of the bridge above
Lake Hylia. The bug tends to fly in and out of the
pillars, so if you don't see it at first, wait a moment.
4. Mantis (Female)
Found: Hyrule Field (Lanayru Province)
How to Collect: Head south from the bridge above Lake Hylia. You will see
a rocky overpass as you ride along. Check the southern
wall near that overhang and you should see the bug. Since
it is high up, you will have to use the Gale Boomerang or
Clawshot to lure it closer.
5. Butterfly (Male)
Found: Hyrule Field (Lanayru Province)
How to Collect: Check the pink flowers south and east of the eastern
entrance to Castle Town.
6. Butterfly (Female)

where you will find this bug. As an alternate, you can
use the Gale Boomerang to retrieve this bug as well.
7. Phasmid (Male)
Found: Hyrule Field (Eldin Province)
How to Collect: At the south end of the Bridge of Eldin (it's the long
bridge at the northwest portion of the field north of
Kakariko Village), look on the left pillar. Use the Gale
Boomerang or Clawshot to pull it closer so you can
collect it.
8. Phasmid (Female)
Found: Hyrule Field (Eldin Province)
How to Collect: Get to the north end of the Bridge of Eldin, and use the
Clawshot to get onto the high cliff to the north of the
bridge. Walk a little bit to the west and look up on the
wall to find this bug; use the Gale Boomerang or the
Clawshot to grab it.
9. Dayfly (Male)

this bug flying around. If it helps, the bug is to the
south of some wooden gates you can charge through with a
boar.
10. Dayfly (Female)
Found: Gerudo Desert
How to Collect: In the southeast area of the desert, you will find a

11. Stag Beetle (Male)

12. Stag Beetle (Female)

How to Collect: At the north end of the field, head to the northwest area
from the river flowing down from Zora's Domain. There
will be a path leading toward the mountains. At the path
split (north will lead to Zora's Domain), go right. Look
above the boulder in the wall and you will see this bug
hanging there; use the Gale Boomerang or the Clawshot to
retrieve it.
13. Ladybug (Male)
Found: Hyrule Field (Lanayru Province)
How to Collect: In the field area to the south of Castle Town, there is a
large obstruction on the west side. Hanging on the wall
is this ladybug; follow it around when it flies away and
you will be able to catch it.
14. Ladybug (Female)
Found: Hyrule Field (Lanayru Province)
How to Collect: In the field south of Castle Town, head to the east side
of the pool in the courtyard there. You will see 3 trees;
this ladybug is hanging on one of them. If you approach,
it will fly away, so give chase and you will soon be able
to catch it.
15. Grasshopper (Male)
Found: Hyrule Field (Eldin Province)
How to Collect: In the large field north of Kakariko Village, look for
this bug in the south central area. On the map, it is

Boomerang or your Clawshot to grab it.

Found: Temple of Time
How to Collect: Go through the doors which lead to the Temple of Time.
Inside, go down the stairs and head to the left side of

you can only access this area of the grove when you
return later in the game.
