{{quote|These seals use their large flippers to move through the sand as if swimming. They were once wild animals but have since been domesticated by the Gerudo.

'''Sand Seals''' are animals that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. Wild seals are found exclusively in the [[Gerudo Desert (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Desert]]. They are usually seen near shrines, such as the [[Dako Tah Shrine]] and the [[Hawa Koth Shrine]]. In addition to wild sand seals, domesticated ones can also be rented from [[Gerudo Town]] for 20 [[Rupee]]s. They travel slightly faster than the wild seals, and have red coats, not orange ones. | '''Sand Seals''' are animals that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' and ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]''. | ||

Wild sand seals cannot be killed in the game, as any attack will just make them flee. This places them in a unique position between wild and domesticated animals, where the latter cannot be killed either. These wild individuals share the docility of the seals domesticated by the Gerudo. Unlike Blupees, they don't yield any drops when attacked. | Wild sand seals cannot be killed in the game, as any attack will just make them flee.

The primary use of sand seals is for traveling across the desert in the [[Wasteland Tower|Wasteland]] region, where Link rides on his equipped Shield, holding on to a rope attached to the seal. In order to ride with a wild sand seal, Link must sneak up on one, making minimal noise, as they have excellent hearing. If one notices Link, they will move away to safety. It is recommended that Link wears an armor set with a Stealth Up set bonus in order to catch a wild one, such as the [[Stealth Set]], or consumes meals or elixirs that increase his discretion. Rented seals keep pace, as well as staying put if Link dismounts, whereas wild seals will swim away. | The primary use of sand seals is for traveling across the desert in the [[Wasteland Tower|Wasteland]] region, where Link rides on his equipped Shield, holding on to a rope attached to the seal.

Sand seal surfing produces no damage on the shield, unlike other forms of [[shield surfing]]. This is because Link is riding on sand. | Sand seal surfing produces no damage on the shield, unlike other forms of [[shield surfing]]. This is because Link is riding on sand. | ||
