Squirrel

Squirrels are common animals in Zelda games. They 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 animals all understand each other.
