Deer

Deer are animals that appear in.

Characteristics
Deer can be found roaming around wooded areas and grassy plains. They can be hunted using Weapons, and drop Raw Meat when killed. They are skittish, and will not allow Link to get close if they see him. Instead, they run away. They enjoy eating Apples.

Link can carefully approach a Deer and mount it similarly to a Horse. When mounted, the Deer will try to buck Link off until it is soothed, at which point the Deer will allow Link to ride it. Unlike Horses, Link is unable to spur the Deer while riding to get a speed boost. If Link takes a Deer to a Stable, the owner of the Stable will initially allow Link to register his steed. The Stable owner will then realize Link's steed is not a Horse, at which point the Stable owner will refuse to register the Deer, stating that only Horses can be registered at the Stable. When Link dismounts from the Deer, it will flee.

According to the Hyrule Compendium, there are two types of Deer, a Mountain Buck, and a Mountain Doe.
