So You Want a Canine Companion in Calamity-Ravaged Hyrule? A Guide to Taming the Wild Pups of Breath of the Wild
Let's face it, adventuring across a post-apocalyptic Hyrule can get lonely. You've got Bokoblins breathing down your neck, malice seeping from the ground, and enough rain to make even the Zoras whimper. What you need, my friend, is a trusty canine companion! But fear not, weary traveler, for this guide will turn you from a lone Link to a loitering Link with a loyal pup at your side.

Where to Find These Fuzzy Treasure Hunters?
Forget scouring monster camps – these good boys aren't hiding from Ganon (though, can you blame them?). Look for these adorable ankle-biters around the more "civilized" areas of Hyrule. Stables are a great bet, as these pups clearly have an eye for a free meal (and maybe a ride on your horse?). Hateno Village is another good spot – those folks seem to have their doggos well-trained, but a little charm (and some rupees) can go a long way.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
Pro Tip: Avoid the Yiga Clan Hideout. Trust me, they're not exactly known for their fondness for belly rubs.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
How to Win the Heart (and Stomach) of a Hyrulean Hound
Now, you can't just waltz up and expect these pups to join your quest for world domination (or, you know, saving Zelda). These discerning doggos require a bit of wooing. Here's your doggy dating guide:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
-
The Power of Positive Reinforcement (A.K.A. Bribery): Just like in real life, the way to a dog's heart is through its stomach. Apples and raw meat are your best bets here. Remember: Quantity is key. Shower them with enough food to rival a Goron feast, and soon that tail will be wagging faster than a Korok chasing a pinwheel.
-
Don't Be a Creep: Staring intently at a dog might get you pepper-sprayed in our world, but in Hyrule, it just makes you look suspicious. Subtlety is key. Approach the dog casually, maybe even whistle a jaunty tune (just avoid the Song of Time – that one's a bit depressing for a picnic with a pup).
-
Patience is a Virtue (Especially When Dealing with Spoiled Hyrulean Hounds): These pampered pooches aren't going to fall for your charms right away. Be prepared to hang around for a bit, offering them snacks and avoiding any sudden movements that might spook them (like accidentally setting your Master Sword on fire).
Congratulations! You've Got Yourself a Dog! Now What?
So, you've befriended a furry friend. Fantastic! But unlike real-life doggos, these Hyrulean hounds won't be begging for belly rubs or chasing squirrels. Their special talent? Leading you to buried treasure! Just follow your new best friend as they excitedly sniff around, and soon you'll be unearthing rupees, gemstones, or maybe even a Korok Seed (though, who knows what those things are actually good for).
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
Remember: This isn't Pokemon. You can't catch 'em all. There's only one canine companion per playthrough, so choose wisely (or, you know, tame a bunch and have your own adorable apocalypse-surviving puppy posse).
With this newfound knowledge, you're well on your way to becoming the ultimate monster-slaying, treasure-hunting duo in Hyrule. Just be sure to give your furry friend a good ear scratch after a long day of adventuring (or, you know, after accidentally setting your Master Sword on fire again).
