Bug-Catching Kid

The Bug-Catching Kid is a character in A Link to the Past. A resident of Kakariko Village, he caught a cold from the evil air that has been coming down off Death Mountain, and as a result, he has to stay in his bed until he recovers. Due to him not being able to go outside to play, the Bug-Catching Kid lends Link his Bug-Catching Net until he feels better, which allows the young hero to catch fairies in an empty bottle. During the ending credits, the Bug-Catching Kid recovers from his sickness and can be seen outside with his net, with one of the Informant Women and the Innkeeper behind him.

In Four Sword Adventures, a Bug-Catching Kid cameo can be found in the Kakariko Village level. His house can only be accessed after the Links make the rain fall on the village. The boy will reward the Links with 250 Force Gems and tells them that his Bug-Catching Net got burned up. During the ending credits, the Bug-Catching Kid is seen playing outside in the Lost Woods with his net.
