Cow

are a recurring species in. They are Hyrule's primary source of Milk, and are kept in the land's various farms. A few Cows seem to strangely possess the ability to talk, such as speaking to Link.

In, Cows can be found all over Hyrule. Many can be found in various holes and caverns, but a few are also kept at Lon Lon Ranch, and tended to by Talon and Malon. In this game, a free Bottle of Milk can be obtained by playing "Epona's Song" in front of a Cow. They will appreciate the song, and give Link milk for it. In the version, several Cows can be found  Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly. These Cows serve a rather odd function of being a switch, unlocking doors and dropping Treasure Chests or items when hit by the Slingshot.

Link can win his own Cow by beating the Obstacle Course record at Lon Lon Ranch. The Cow will be delivered to his house and can be found in his room.

Cows are also featured in. They are not as commonly found around Termina as they are in Hyrule, but there are several special "Romani-Bred" Cows at Romani Ranch, from which one can milk Chateau Romani. As in, "Epona's Song" can be played to a Cow, and they will produce regular Milk to give to Link for free. The Ghosts come on the first day to abduct the Cows from the Ranch, and Link is hired by Romani to fend them off. If Link fails, the Cows are taken, and the girl with them.

Cow figurines are also found on the counters of many shops in Clock Town, and they are the subject of one of Keaton's questions.

Cows also appear in, although they appear slightly differently than their past incarnations. The majority of these Cows appear in Lon Lon Ranch under the care of Talon and Malon, where they produce Lon Lon Milk that Malon brings to Hyrule Town, via Epona and cart, to be sold. Cows also serve as the occasional road blocks and will only move once Link has progressed further on his quest.

Elsie, one of the Cows at Lon Lon Ranch, can fuse Kinstones with Link if he is in Minish form. A Cow also appears in the "At Lon Lon Ranch" Figurine.

Domestic variants of BotW:, known as NaN Hateno Cows, appear in. They can be found grazing in Hateno Pasture.
