Dogs are recurring animals in The Legend of Zelda series.
Link's Awakening
- Main article: Mutt
Some dogs can be found in the streets of Mabe Village. They will growl at Link and attack him if he hurts them.[1] If Link sprinkles Magic Powder on one of the dogs, it will burst into flames.
Ocarina of Time
As young Link, Mamamu Yan and her dog, Richard, can be seen in the Market at daytime. If Link is in the Market at nighttime, there will be a pack of dogs that can be found in various locations in the Market. If Link finds Richard out of the dogs and returns it to Mamamu Yan, he will receive a Piece of Heart. Richard can be found around the market stall just to the right of the Bazaar.
Majora's Mask
One of the most notable dogs in Majora's Mask is the loose dog present in front of the Clock Tower. The behavior of the dog changes depending on which form Link takes:
- Hylian/Fierce Deity: The dog acts as if Link isn't there, running around in a circle and barking.
- Deku: The dog chases and attacks Deku Link, but its attacks do no damage.
- Goron: The dog evades Goron Link and whines.
- Zora: The dog follows Zora Link and sits patiently in front of him.
The Doggy Racetrack also exists in Romani Ranch. Many dogs are encased in a fence structure. Link can use the Mask of Truth to hear the dogs' thoughts and determine which will win.

The Minish Cap
A number of dogs in The Minish Cap actually have names and Link is usually able to fuse Kinstones with them.
- Fifi - Found at Stockwell's House in Lake Hylia, Fifi is lonely as her owner Stockwell comes home late from work.
- Growler - Found at the west end of Hyrule Town, Growler serves as a barrier earlier in the game.
- Rolf - Found inside Romio's house. Rolf doesn't like Julietta's cat Scratcher.
Twilight Princess
There are a few dogs that run around the alleys of Castle Town. One dog lays near Purlo's tent laying down. Link also can pick up and carry dogs around; additionally there are sticks in each area which can be thrown by Link. When holding a dog, Link's expression changes from a plain expression to a slight smile.
Link in wolf form has the ability to speak to dogs gaining tidbits of information about the area.
Breath of the Wild
- Main article: Hylian Retriever
In Breath of the Wild, dogs live at Stables. If Link stands next to one, it will start to follow Link. If he attacks it, it will run away and bark at him. If Link feeds one enough, it will lead him to a treasure chest. At the Wetland Stable a dog named Satty can be found. This dog acts like normal dogs, but his owner Quince will tell Link about him.
Tears of the Kingdom
