The Guay is a dark, crow-like bird that is commonly seen flying above desert and lake regions in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. While the Guay is generally small, the Guay seen in ''Twilight Princess'' are much larger, and slow-moving at that. These birds are seldom seen alone, always taking to the skies in a flock similar to their real-life counterparts, and they always gather in open areas, for example, the [[Desert Colossus]] of ''Ocarina of Time'' and the [[Ikana Canyon]] of ''Majora's Mask''. Aside from that, one lone Guay can always be seen flying around the exterior of [[Clock Town]], in ''Majora's Mask''.

The Guay will hone in on [[Link]] and pursue him as long as he is within close proximity. This behavior works to Link's benefit the majority of the time, as the Guay, when defeated, often drop large quantities of rupees, so the closer they are to Link's weapon, the easier it will be for Link to target them and collect the rupees they yield. For example, in ''Twilight Princess'', at [[Lake Hylia]], and even at the outskirts of [[Hyrule Castle]], there is a large flock of Guays that can be spotted using the [[Hawkeye]] and [[Bow]]. If every single one of them is killed, 73 Rupees will fall, in respect to the flock on site at Lake Hylia.

Because the Guay are standard, overworld enemies, Link can defeat them using the full variety of his weaponry, from swords to [[arrow]]s, from [[bomb]]s to [[magic]], and often in only one attack. However, like in ''Twilight Princess'' where the Guay tend to fly far above Link, the bow and arrow is the recommended weapon as it is able to target and reach such long-distances with ease. The [[Hookshot]] and [[Clawshot]] may prove to be a more ammo-efficient method, especially in ''Twiltght Princess'',  though the chains extend slower than the arrows travel.

Guays are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.(OoT | OoT3D | MM | MM3D | TP | TPHD | SS)[1][name references needed]

Characteristics

Ocarina of Time

Guays appear in various locations in Ocarina of Time. They will hone in on Link and pursue him as long as he is within close proximity. They can be defeated up close with the Sword or from afar with a ranged weapon. When defeated, Guays will often drop large quantities of Rupees. After defeating 10 Guays, a larger one will appear.

Majora's Mask

Tatl's Commenthide ▲
Tatl says:

It's a Guay. You don't know about this one? Just attack it before it swoops down on you. That's all there is to it.

Guays appear in various locations in Majora's Mask. They will hone in on Link and pursue him as long as he is within close proximity. They can be defeated up close with a Sword or from afar with a ranged weapon. When defeated, Guays will often drop large quantities of Rupees. After defeating 10 Guays, a larger one will appear.

A lone Guay can be seen flying around the exterior of Clock Town. Link can play one of the four Temple songs so the Guay will begin dropping progressively more valuable Rupees.[2]

Twilight Princess

Guays appear in large flocks in Twilight Princess. They fly in circles usually out of Link's range. They can be defeated with the Hero's Bow from afar. If all the Guays from the flock are defeated, a large number of Rupees will fall from the sky.

Skyward Sword

Fi's Commenthide ▲
Fi says:

Target lock: Guay

This bird seemingly jettisons its droppings upon people's heads on purpose. It is unclear if this is due to a carefree attitude or pure malice.

Should its droppings land on you, I calculate the probability of your intense aggravation at 100%.

Guays attempt to defecate on Link's head in Skyward Sword. While Link has a Guay's droppings on his head, his Stamina gradually drains. It can be removed by rolling or performing a Spin Attack. Rupee Guays can also be found carrying Rupees in the Sky, which can be snatched by crashing into them.

Trivia

  • The Guays in Ocarina of Time, and by extension Majora's Mask, were designed by Satomi Asakawa.[3]
