||
| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', a dog in front of a house, [[Mutt]], will attack Link if he attacks it. It can be killed with the [[Magic Rod]]. Chomps do not attack Link and a Chain Chomp called [[Bow-Wow]] becomes important for reaching the second dungeon, [[Bottle Grotto]].

| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' dogs return. They are often seen running around the [[Hyrule Castle Town|market]] at night. One dog called Richard must be found in order to complete a side-quest to get a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Heart Piece]]. Dogs in ''Ocarina of Time'' will follow [[Link]] if he gets close to them. In this game and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', they resemble [[Wikipedia:Yorkshire Terrier|Yorkshire Terrier]]s. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' Link can participate in a dog race. Link can use the [[Mask of Truth]] to read a dog's mind before the race to find out which ones are more confident. In this game there are more fur colors that a dog may be. When Link is in [[Deku Link|Deku form]], dogs will attack him, but he will not be hurt. When Link is in [[Goron Link|Goron form]], dogs will growl at him but will run away if approached. Finally, when Link is in [[Zora Link|Zora form]], dogs will give affectionate barks, showing they like Link. |
||
| + | In {{LA}}, dogs appear as [[Mutt]]s who roam [[Mabe Village]]. Treated as enemies, they will attack [[Link]] if he attacks them. They can be defeated by using [[Magic Powder]] or the [[Magic Rod]]. [[Chain Chomp]]s, animals with dog-like behavior, also appear for the first time in ''Link's Awakening'' as pets of [[Madame MeowMeow]]. |
||

||
| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', there's a dog named '''Flash'''. Link can see him fetching a red ball, which his master throws away in the eastern part of [[Horon Village]]. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' involves a dog in a trading quest and a Linked Secrets quest. [[Mamamu Yan]] will trade a dumbbell for the Doggie Mask. In the Linked Secrets quest, Link must chase the dog throughout the town. |
||
| + | In {{OoT}}, dogs are smaller and have shaggy fur, resembling {{wp|West Highland White Terrier}}s. Dogs are often seen running around the [[Hyrule Castle Town#Ocarina of Time|Castle Town Market]] in the main plaza and the back alleys. 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.<ref>{{Cite|My precious little puppy's fur coat is very special compared to the other mutts around here!|Mamamu Yan|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|My precious puppy can run faster than any of the other mutts around here!|Mamamu Yan|OoT}}</ref> At night, when all the dogs roam the town, Mamamu Yan is unable to find hers, and asks Link to go look for him.<ref>{{Cite|I can't find my puppy anywhere! I need you to look for it! Please!|Mamamu Yan|OoT}}</ref> 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 [[Ganon]]dorf and the dogs are nowhere to be found. Mamamu Yan will have also moved to [[Kakariko Village]] along with the rest of the [[Hylian]]s. After Link successfully gains [[Epona]] and [[Talon]] moves back to [[Lon Lon Ranch]], she will mention that Talon reminds her of her dog, Richard.<ref>{{Cite|That lazy man, he kind of reminded me of my little Richard...|Mamamu Yan|OoT}}</ref> Since Richard is nowhere to be found, and she refers to him in the past tense,<ref>{{Cite|What's that?

| − | Dogs are quite frequent in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', the most significant being [[Fifi]] (the only Yorkshire Terrier in ''The Minish Cap''), Rolf ([[Romio and Julietta|Romio]]'s dog), and Growler. Growler is a brown dog that can be found blocking a staircase next to [[Dr. Left]]'s house in [[Hyrule Castle Town|Hyrule Town]]. Link can [[Kinstone Fusion|fuse]] [[Kinstone]]s with it if he is in [[Minish Link|Minish form]]. |

| − | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', their last appearance to date, dogs serve little purpose, but can be found in [[Ordon Village]] and [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. The player can talk to them in [[Wolf Link|Wolf form]]. When in Castle Town, in human form, Link can play catch with these dogs. If he tosses a bone found near where the dog is, the dog will run after it and bring it back to Link. If, when by the eastern exit (or western in the Wii version), the bone is thrown in the patch of grass between the doctor's house and the house next to it, the dog may bring Link back a [[rupee]] or two. |

| + | The dogs of [[Termina]] are mostly found at the [[Doggy Racetrack]] near [[Romani Ranch]], operated by Mamamu Yan. 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.<ref>{{Cite|The mask that can see into people's hearts and minds also seems to work on animals as well...|Gossip Stone|MM}}</ref> This is especially useful while choosing a dog for the races. In addition to the white and brown colorations from ''Ocarina of Time'', dog's coats may also be grey, yellow, and blue. Other dogs include the dog of the [[Cursed Man]] found inside the [[Swamp Spider House]]. If Link reads its mind, it will say his master's eyes are always filled with greed.<ref>{{Cite|Rrr-ruff!

When Link is in [[Goron Link|Goron form]], dogs will growl at him and run away if approached. When Link is in [[Zora Link|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. |

Template:Species Dogs are recurring animals in Template:LZS. They usually appear in towns or other populated areas.
Appearances
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, dogs appear as Mutts who roam Mabe Village. 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
In Ocarina of Time, dogs are smaller and have shaggy fur, resembling West Highland White Terriers. Dogs are often seen running around the Castle Town Market in the main plaza and the back alleys. 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.[1][2] At night, when all the dogs roam the town, Mamamu Yan is unable to find hers, and asks Link to go look for him.[3] 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.[4] Since Richard is nowhere to be found, and she refers to him in the past tense,[5] it is implied that Richard died in the seven year period.
Majora's Mask
.png){kind=link}
The dogs of Termina are mostly found at the Doggy Racetrack near Romani Ranch, operated by Mamamu Yan. 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.[6] This is especially useful while choosing a dog for the races. In addition to the white and brown colorations from Ocarina of Time, dog's coats may also be grey, yellow, and blue. Other dogs include the dog of the Cursed Man found inside the Swamp Spider House. If Link reads its mind, it will say his master's eyes are always filled with greed.[7] There is also the dog roaming South Clock Town, who constantly thinks of Deku Link.[8]
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,[9] and wore the Bremen Mask, which Guru-Guru stole.[10]
Oracle Series
In Oracle of Ages, one unnamed dog appears as the pet of Mamamu Yan in Lynna City. Mamamu Yan still believes her pet to be much cuter than the rest,[11] despite the fact that there are no other dogs in all of Labrynna. In the Oracle of Ages Trading Sequence, Mamamu Yan will take the Doggie Mask to hide her dog's face, whom she claims is very shy.[12] In return, she gives Link the Dumbbell that the dog played with.[13] 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.[14] 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.[15]
In Oracle of Seasons, a dog named Flash appears in eastern Horon Village. Throughout the game, he can be seen fetching a red ball thrown by his master.[16]
The Minish Cap

.gif){kind=link}
In The Minish Cap, the most significant dog is Fifi. He is owned by Stockwell and can be found in his master's vacation house in Lake Hylia. Stockwell claims he is too busy to visit his dog,[17] and as such he becomes very lonely.[18] Link can bring him the bottle of Dog Food as a favor to Stockwell, who will let Link keep the empty Bottle afterwards.[19]
Other, more mutt-like dogs appear in Hyrule Town. One is Rolf, a dark-furred dog belong to Romio. The other is Growler, a light-brown dog, who, in the beginning of the game, blocks a staircase leading to the southwestern part of town.
While in Minish form, Link can speak to dogs and even fuse Kinstones with Fifi and Rolf.
Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, dogs can be found in Ordon Village and Hyrule Castle Town. Dogs can be picked up and played with. Link can even play catch with them using bones found lying around. If the bone is thrown into a patch of grass or near a tree, the dog may bring back a few Rupees instead of the bone.[verification needed]
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.
Stalhounds, skeletal dog-like beasts, appear roaming Hyrule Field at night. Link must defeat a pack of Stalhounds in order to recover the Wooden Statue, the key to recovering Ilia's memory. Stalhounds also appear within the Cave of Ordeals.
Other Appearances
Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland
In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, a dog named Barkle appears as Tingle's intelligent pet dog first encountered at Sunshine Seashore. He will fetch Tingle Rupees if he is given Bones.
Etymology
In certain foreign versions of The Minish Cap, Rolf and Growler are given similar names (ワウ (Wau) and マウ (Mau); these names are onomatopoeias for barking in their respective languages).
