Dogs,[1][name references needed] also known as Canines,[2] are recurring Animals in The Legend of Zelda series. They usually appear in towns or other populated areas.

Characteristics

Link's Awakening

Main article: Mutt

Dogs appear as Mutts who roam Mabe Village in Link's Awakening. Treated as enemies, they will attack Link if he attacks them. They can be defeated by using Magic Powder or the Magic Rod. Chain Chomps, animals with Dog-like behavior, also appear for the first time in Link's Awakening as pets of Madame MeowMeow.

Ocarina of Time

Dogs are commonly found running around the Castle Town Market and throughout Castle Town's back alleys in Ocarina of Time. These Dogs are smaller and have shaggy fur, resembling terriers. One particular Dog, Richard, is owned by Mamamu Yan, who holds her Dog in very high esteem compared to the other mutts of the town.[3][4] At night, when all the Dogs roam the town, Mamamu Yan is unable to find hers, and asks Link to go look for him.[5] Richard can be found behind a stall near the entrance to the market. As thanks for returning Richard, Mamamu Yan rewards Link with a Piece of Heart.

After awakening seven years later as an adult in the Temple of Time, Hyrule Castle Town is destroyed by Ganondorf and the Dogs are nowhere to be found. Mamamu Yan will have also moved to Kakariko Village along with the rest of the Hylians. After Link successfully gains Epona and Talon moves back to Lon Lon Ranch, she will mention that Talon reminds her of her Dog, Richard.[6] Since Richard is nowhere to be found, and she refers to him in the past tense,[7] it is implied that Richard died in the seven year period.

Majora's Mask

The Dogs of Termina are mostly found at the Doggy Racetrack near Romani Ranch, operated by Mamamu Yan in Majora's Mask. In this minigame, Link chooses a Dog from the kennel that he will bet on in a race. By picking up a Dog while using the Mask of Truth, Link can read the thoughts of the Dog.[8] This is especially useful while choosing a Dog for the races. In addition to the white and brown colorations from Ocarina of Time, Dog coats may also be grey, yellow, and blue. Other Dogs include the Dog of the Cursed Rich Man found inside the Swamp Spider House. If Link reads its mind, it will say his master's eyes are always filled with greed.[9] There is also the Dog roaming South Clock Town, who constantly thinks of Deku Link.[10]

Dogs react differently to each of Link's forms. When Link is in Deku form, Dogs will act hostile to towards him, growling and barking and even knocking him over. When Link is in Goron form, Dogs will growl at him and run away if approached. When Link is in Zora form, Dogs will give affectionate barks and whine at his feet. If Link performs the march while wearing the Bremen Mask, Dogs will fall in line behind him and march along with him to the music, until he stops playing.

It is also mentioned by Guru-Guru that a Dog was the leader of the animal troupe,[11] and wore the Bremen Mask, which Guru-Guru stole.[12]

Oracle of Seasons

Main article: Flash

A Dog named Flash appears in eastern Horon Village in Oracle of Seasons. He can be seen fetching a red ball thrown by his master.

Oracle of Ages

One unnamed Dog appears as the pet of Mamamu Yan in Lynna City in Oracle of Ages. Mamamu Yan still believes her pet to be much cuter than the rest,[13] despite the fact that there are no other Dogs in all of Labrynna. In the Trading Sequence, Mamamu Yan will take the Doggie Mask to hide her dog's face, whom she claims is very shy.[14] In return, she gives Link the Dumbbell that the Dog played with.[15] After receiving a secret from Mamamu Yan's mother in a Linked Game of Oracle of Seasons, and telling this secret to Mamamu Yan, she will mention that she has lost her Dog somewhere in town and will ask Link to go find it.[16] The Dog will appear randomly in Lynna City. After finding and returning the Dog (who can be lifted using the Power Bracelet), Mamamu Yan rewards Link with the Snowshoe Ring.[17]

The Minish Cap

Main articles: Fifi, Growler and Rolf

Several Canines appear in The Minish Cap. Fifi is a Canine owned by Stockwell and can be found at Stockwell's House at Lake Hylia. Stockwell claims he is too busy to visit his Canine,[18] and as such he becomes very lonely.[19] Link can bring him a Bottle of Dog Food as a favor to Stockwell, who will let Link keep the Empty Bottle afterwards.[20]

Other, more mutt-like Canines appear in Hyrule Town. One is Rolf, a dark-furred Canine belonging to Romio. The other is Growler, a light-brown Canine, who, in the beginning of the game, blocks a staircase leading to the southwestern part of Town.

While in Minish-sized, Link can speak to Canines and even Fuse Kinstones with Fifi and Rolf.

Twilight Princess

Dogs can be found in Ordon Village and Hyrule Castle Town in Twilight Princess. Dogs can be picked up and played with. Link can even play fetch with them using bones found lying around, much to the Dog's enjoyment.[21] If the bone is thrown into the patch of Grass next to the Medical Clinic or near a Tree, the Dog may bring back a Green Rupee or a Heart instead of the bone.

Dogs can be spoken to while in Wolf form, and will often give Link helpful advice on his quest. One particular Dog, owned by Jaggle and Pergie's family, gives Wolf Link helpful information as to how to dig and use his senses when he returns to Ordon Village for the first time in wolf form.

Main article: Stalhound

Stalhounds, skeletal Dog-like beasts, appear roaming Hyrule Field at night.[22] Link must defeat a pack of Stalhounds in order to recover the Wooden Statue, the key to recovering Ilia's memory.[23] Stalhounds also appear within the Cave of Ordeals.
