Calls are a recurring mechanic in The Legend of Zelda series. They are sounds that summon a character, enemy, or Animal, typically a Mount or Bird. A Call may also refer to the Instrument used to make the sound. In some games, Bokoblins blow horns to call for reinforcements, or to alert their camp when they spot Link.

Calls made indoors fail to summon the callee, as they cannot hear them.^{[citation needed]}

At Lake Hylia, a Shadow Bulblin archer uses Horse Grass to summon the Twilit Carrier Kargarok. After Wolf Link defeats the Shadow Bulblin, he can summon the Twilit Carrier Kargarok by sitting at the Hawk Grass spot and mimicking the Call with a howl. Once Link dispels the Twilight at Lake Hylia, howling at the Hawk Grass summons a Kargarok used to play Fruit Pop Flight Challenge.

Once her memory is restored, Ilia gifts a Horse Call which allows him to play "Epona's Song" anywhere.
