Net

The Bug Catching Net is an item used in A Link to the Past. It is received early in the game from a sick girl in Kakariko Village, as long as Link has at least one bottle when he talks to her. Link can use it to catch bees and fairies in empty bottles. Although it is possible to do these things by swiping the jar through the air (as Link does in other games), the process is much easier with the extended reach of the net.

As a bizarre easter egg, the Bug Catching Net can also be used to reflect Agahnim's magic bolts back at him.

Trivia
This weapon also appears in Soul Calibur II as Link's "Funny Weapon" (each character's final weapon, which is worse than any other one. Some examples are: a galley oar, a caligraphy brush, a feather broom, and a shephards crook), with a brief description of "I guess there are no fairies in this world..."
