Squirrel
Template:Species Squirrels are a recurring animal in Template:LZS.
Overview
Squirrels first appear in A Link to the Past, frolicking near the Pedestal of Time in the Lost Woods. They do nothing more than run across the screen. In the Game Boy Advance release, Link has to catch a Squirrel as a part of the Riddle Quest.
Squirrels reappear in Twilight Princess where they play a minor role and are mostly found in the Ordona Province. At one point one talks to Link, while he is in his Wolf Form, in front of his house. It tells Link that all animals understand each other.
Squirrels are also found in A Link Between Worlds. They reside in the Lost Woods, near the Pedestal of Time. They run away when Link moves close to them.
Squirrels also appear in Breath of the Wild and serve as a minor source of food. They are skittish and hard to sneak up on so the Bow and Arrow or Boomerang is recommended for hunting. However, these animals only drop an acorn which only restores a quarter heart when raw. So unless you need acorns as an ingredient in a larger dish, they are relatively useless.
