Template:Character BowWow is Madam MeowMeow's most prized and adored pet in Link's Awakening.[1] He is one of three Chain Chomps that Madam MeowMeow owns. Unlike the Small Chain Chomps, BowWow is chained to a post outside the door of his owner's house in Mabe Village. He is treated by Madam MeowMeow similarly to how a Dog would be treated by humans, such as him being chained to a post in Madam MeowMeow's yard, Madam MeowMeow bragging about how nice BowWow's fur coat is,[2] and even the map telling passers-by to avoid the "Dog".[3]

Biography

BowWow-LA.png

Once Link obtains the first Instrument of the Sirens, the Full Moon Cello, from Tail Cave and returns to Mabe Village, he is informed by the Island Quadruplets that BowWow has recently been dognapped by the henchmen of the King Moblin.[4] If Link talks to Madam MeowMeow, she frantically begs for Link to rescue BowWow.[5] Link soon finds out that the King Moblin and his gang are hiding in Moblin Hideout, a cave located in the Tal Tal Heights region.[6]

When Link travels to the hideout, the Moblins attack Link because of his suspicious look.[7] Nevertheless, Link defeats the henchmen and marches forth through their hideout to save BowWow. Once entering the room, the King Moblin recognizes Link is there to save BowWow and attacks Link.[8]

Once Link defeats the King Moblin, the room where BowWow is being held prisoner is revealed. Link unties BowWow's chain from the rock and returns to Mabe Village to bring back BowWow to Madam MeowMeow.[9] Full of gratitude, she asks Link to take BowWow for a walk around Koholint Island.[10]

While talking a walk with Link, BowWow can be used to eat most enemies in Link's way. In addition, the indigestible flowers of Goponga Swamp are one of BowWow's favorite things to eat on Koholint Island.[11] As a result, BowWow is the only individual that is allowed to enter Goponga Swamp.[12] In order for Link to obtain the second Instrument of the Sirens, he should walk with BowWow to the swamp, where BowWow can eat the Goponga Flowers blocking the entrance to Bottle Grotto, the second dungeon in Link's Awakening.

After Link defeats the Genie and gains the Conch Horn from Bottle Grotto, he must return BowWow to his owner.[13] Overjoyed, Madam MeowMeow rewards Link with a kiss for all he has done for her and BowWow.[1] If Link doesn't return BowWow to Madam MeowMeow, he cannot continue with his quest to awaken the Wind Fish thanks to Richard not allowing Link to talk to him while BowWow is in his small dwelling, postponing Link's quest until BowWow is returned.[14]

Photograph

In the DX version of the game, there is a picture for Link's Photo Album of BowWow. After meeting the Photographer, Link can walk in front of BowWow to trigger the event where the Photographer will try to take a picture of the two of them.[15] As Link inches closer and closer to BowWow, he gets more and more aggravated, and he eventually chases Link away just as the Photographer takes the picture.[16][17] The picture is titled, "Link Plays With BowWow".[15]
