The Beetle is a mechanical item, designed for utility purposes. It appears as a bracer of mysterious metal, usually gold or green, to be wrapped around the wrist. Attached to this bracer is a beetle-like machine of size comparable to a Hylian's head. When not in use, the "beetle" will seem to melt into the bracer, becoming flat and allowing the wearer freedom of movement.
At will, the user can manifest and launch this 'beetle'. In doing so, the beetle will fly through the air at a relatively slow speed (akin to a Hylian's jogging speed). The wearer can control the beetle's movement by concentrating through the bracer, which generally means ceasing movement, and not using other abilities or item. By closing his or her eyes, the wearer can "see" what the beetle sees. Breaking concentration will cause the beetle to fly in a straight line until either it crashes or concentration is regained. If the beetle crashes, or if the wearer wills it, the beetle will teleport back to the user's bracer unharmed. The beetle's mandibles are capable of picking up and carrying small objects as it flies; however, an object larger or heavier than a typical bowling ball will be too much for it to handle.
The Beetle treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Skyward Sword. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
