Moosh

Moosh (ムッシュ, Musshu) is one of three animal companions that you can get in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons (the other two are Ricky and Dimitri). Moosh is a flying blue bear. If you tap A when riding him, he will hover in the air. This is used to get past long strings of holes. Also, if you press and hold A, he will unleash his attack: the Ground Pound. Use Moosh's Flute to call him.

Depending on which animal helper Link befriends, will depend on the landscaping of some areas in either Holodrum or Labrynna. If the player had Moosh join them, then some areas within these regions may resemble a wasteland-like area filled with many pits that Moosh is supposed to fly over.

Oracle of Seasons
In Oracle of Seasons, Link will eventually have to venture into Spool Swamp for the next Essence of Nature after completing the Snake's Remains dungeon. During this time, the player can find and acquire a Strange Flute. One of the Strange Flutes is for sale in Horon Village Shop for 150 rupees. While heading into Spool Swamp, the player will encounter one of the pontential animal helpers, Ricky. Blaino, who lives nearby, had taken away Ricky's boxing gloves, and the game requires that you go to Blaino, fight him in a boxing round for a total of 10 rupees, and defeat him to win back the gloves. When the gloves are returned, Ricky will offer to help Link by transporting the player to once unaccessible places of Spool Swamp.

Be warned that if the player doesn't have any of the other Strange Flutes prior to helping Ricky, then Ricky will give you his flute and the chances of the player either acquiring Moosh's Flute or Dimitri's Flute will be impossible.

Ricky is able to take the player to other areas within Spool Swamp, where the player may either meet Moosh or Dimitri depending on certain requirements. If the player bought the Strange Flute from the Horon Village Shop, they will eventually encounter Moosh being attacked by some enemies. After defeating the enemies several times, Moosh will thank the player and will join Link. The Strange Flute becomes Moosh's flute.

Eventually, regardless whether the player's animal helper is Moosh or not, the player will encounter him again in Mt. Cucco while on the journey for the fourth Essence of Nature. Once the Rod of Seasons had been blessed with the power of Spring, Moosh will appear again on the far eastern side of Mt. Cucco. Moosh had found a bunch of Spring Bananas hanging on a tree that is on a high ledge, and Moosh unfortunately cannot get to the tree. To reach the ledge, Link has to hold a nearby Blue Rooster and fly over to the ledge. Once Moosh has been fed the bananas, the player will be able to ride him again. This time, Moosh is needed to reach the Dragon Key which is required for opening the entrance to the Dancing Dragon Dungeon.

Oracle of Ages
In Oracle of Ages, Moosh would first make his appearance when the player is supposed to find and obtain the Zora's Flippers and Cheval Rope. The player will find Moosh near Yoll Graveyard's entrance and exit being attacked by monsters. Once the enemies have been defeating, Moosh will thank you and offer to help you. Moosh's help will prove to be valuable in northern Yoll Graveyard, where Moosh must fly over pits to reach the tombstone of Cheval, where his Zora's Flippers and Cheval Rope are kept and hidden. Shortly after obtaining the flippers, Moosh will leave Link.

When the player tries to later venture into Symmetry City and goes back, Link will encounter the Faeries from Faerie's Woods, who ask the player to help an animal who got lost in their woods. The animal will either be Moosh, Ricky or Dimitri depending on certain requirements. Moosh would be one of the animals lost if the player doesn't have any of the other Strange Flutes prior to the beginning of this event. If Moosh is found, he will decide to join Link and will give the player his flute, Moosh's Flute.

In the Manga
Moosh makes a brief appearance in the Oracle of Seasons Manga, appearing to be a slow-witted creature, taking him several moments to realise the area he is in is full of monsters. He helps Link and Ricky escape from these monsters by flying them away. He also references the Spring Banana he wanted in the game.

Trivia

 * Dismounting from Moosh will make Link reappear wherever he dismounted should he fall into a hole, instead of where he entered the screen.
 * A winged bear that looks like Moosh first appeared in Animal Village, on Link's Awakening
