Crow (Enemy)

Crows of Hyrule are extremely hateful and will perch themselves on basically anything they can find. They are sometimes hard to defeat as they swoop down at high speeds, but a slash of your sword will send them away.

Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Crow & Takkuri figurine: "Appear in various areas. The black one is Crow. If you touch Takkuri, he will steal Rupees from you, so be careful."

Crows in The Minish Cap behave in much the same way as in A Link to the Past, but play a more prominent role. When Link visits Dampe, he received the gate key needed to open the door to the graveyard. When he exited the house, a Crow swooped down, stole the key, and retreated to its nest. Link travelled to the nest and was able to destroy it and steal the key back.
