This is a guide to the Bug Heaven (Bug Hunt) minigame in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD for the Nintendo Switch. Read on to learn how to unlock Bug Heaven, rewards, as well as tips and tricks!
List of Contents
After defeating Bilocyte inside the Thunderhead, head to Bug Rock and talk to Strich to start the minigame.
The goal of the minigame is to catch the bugs found on the left corner of your screen as fast as possible.
There are two levels of difficulty in Bug Heaven. Bug Beginner costs 20 Rupees to play and requires you to catch five bugs while Bug Wrangler costs 50 Rupees to play and requires you to catch 10 bugs.
See the table below to learn what bugs you need to collect per level!
Level | Bugs Required |
---|---|
Bug Beginner | ・Skyloft Mantis ・Volcanic Ladybug ・Lanayru Ant ・Sky Stag Beetle ・Starry Firefly |
Bug Wrangler | ・Faron Grasshopper x2 ・Woodland Rhino Beetle ・Skyloft Mantis ・Blessed Butterfly ・Lanayru Ant ・Sand Cicada ・Gerudo Dragonfly ・Eldin Roller x2 |
It is recommended to use button-only controls when playing Bug Heaven. Using these controls allows you to quickly catch the bugs and finish the minigame in under two minutes.
Using the motion controls may cause unintentional movements, such as swinging down the net at a wrong angle, making the minigame more difficult.
How to Use Button and Motion Controls
Before starting the minigame, it is recommended to upgrade the Bug Net into the Big Bug Net. The upgrade comes in handy as it has a larger net, making it easy to catch bugs!
The bugs that you need to catch in the minigame are predetermined, so you only need to plan your run and catch the required bugs as fast as possible.
See the section below to learn how to complete the Bug Wrangler mode for Bug Heaven. Note that this is the same mode played during the Beddle's Missing Beetle side quest.
