Main articles: Grassland Fox and Snowcoat Fox

Foxes are medium-sized mammals that can be found throughout Hyrule. They are solitary Creatures, and they will run away if they spot Link nearby.[2] When a Fox is killed, it will drop Raw Meats.

There are two varieties of Foxes in Breath of the Wild. The first are Grassland Foxes, which is most common around Hyrule Field and the Lanayru Great Spring. They are omnivorous, focusing on eating both fruit and Insects.[2] The second are Snowcoat Foxes, which reside in the Hebra Mountains and on Mount Lanayru. They are variations of Grassland Foxes that have white coats to blend in with the Snow in their habitats.[3]

Oracle of Ages (Himekawa)

In the Oracle of Ages manga by Akira Himekawa, the animals of the forest at first order Impa and Link to go back and refuse to let them enter the wood.[4] However, a Fox notices Link's pointed ears and that he is a Hylian of the old blood,[5] convincing the animals to let them pass.

Being omnivores, they hunt animals smaller than themselves and often stick to eating fruit and insects." — Hyrule Compendium (Breath of the Wild)

Its fur turned white as a means of adapting to snowy weather, serving as a natural camouflage. Because of this, spotting one in the snow takes a keen eye." — Hyrule Compendium (Breath of the Wild)
