Yes.
Beetle was actually a fairly unique mechanic. I was quite surprised to get it instead of a Boomerang or upgraded Slingshot like most Zelda games usually do.
But the thing is so underused. I think the only mechanic it has other than picking up things from far away (and, again, you have a Boomerang for that) is killing Deku Bobbas.
And then you get the Bow.
And, again: The Boomerang
