Abe

Abe is a man who lives on Outset Island who is married to Rose and has two sons: Joel and Zill. He is dressed in a yellow shirt with a green stripe, Abe also has brown hair and a beard. He is very interested in Wild Pigs, in the beginning of the game he’s trying to catch a black pig by awaiting it from behind the palm tree. He gives Link some hints on how to catch the little cretins. After coming back again after clearing the first dungeons, he will be just outside of his house next to the fairly grown pig. Abe will also ask you later on in the game to take the pig ( who has the same name as you ) out for a walk.

I just saw a wild...a wild pig! Ooh! See? Look! That black one there... Don't you see him? This is perfect! My wife was just telling me how she really wanted a pet... You ready to go grab it, Link? Now, you can't just run up on it! Pigs are too alert about their surroundings for you to just job up and capture one. If you want to get close to one, you have to crouch and to crawl slowly up behind it. Slowly... You could also distract it with bait, I guess. After giving the pig to Rose, he is standing up. If you come across wild pigs, you've got to be careful not to scare them. What you need to do is open your heart to them. ...Yeah, you heard me right! For example, you can feed them bait to settle them down, or hold R and use O to slowly crawl up behind them. That way, you wont startle them and they'll like you. Oh, and remember to put away anything you're holding before you press R to crouch. You can't go crawling around with stuff in your hands! Wild animals scare easily. Just trust me on this one, all right? The secret is to put them at ease by feeding them bait. Or you can press R and use O to sneak up on them. Just remember to put away anything you have in your hand before you press R to crouch.
