BowWow makes a minor appearance in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' as a weapon when Link obtains the level 3 [[Gauntlets]], the [[Gauntlets#Power Gloves|Power Gloves]]. While BowWow does not eat enemies like in ''Link's Awakening'', Link is able to use BowWow in battle by swinging him around like the [[Ball and Chain]] in the [[Gauntlets#Silver Gauntlets|Silver Gauntlets]] and [[Gauntlets#Golden Gauntlets|Golden Gauntlets]]. However, BowWow has small differences from the other Ball and Chains such as chomping when Link evades an enemy's attack or when he attacks. Also, when Link performs his Special Attack, BowWow will bite down into the ground. | BowWow makes a minor appearance in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' as a weapon when Link obtains the level 3 [[Gauntlets]], the [[Gauntlets#Power Gloves|Power Gloves]].
