In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Guays are encountered mainly in large areas with lots of space, namely, [[Lon Lon Ranch]] (as a Child), [[Lake Hylia]] (as an Adult), and the [[Desert Colossus]]. They attack [[Link]] on sight by by dive-bombing him.

Guays in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' behave in much the same way as in ''A Link to the Past'', but play a more prominent role. When Link visits [[Dampe]], he recieved the gate key needed to open the door to the graveyard. When he exited the house, a Guay swooped down, stole the key, and retreated to its nest. Link traveled to the nest and was able to destroy it and steal the key back.

Guays in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' are larger, slow-moving, and encountered in large groups. These groups are often found in trees, and fly out of the tree as Link approaches. Killing a group of Guays will often cause a small pile of [[rupees]] to fall from the sky.

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.

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]
