Ricky is a boxing | Ricky is a boxing {{Term|Series|Kangaroo|link}} and one of three [[Link's Partners|animal companions]] that [[Link]] can find in {{OoA}} and {{OoS}} (the other two are [[Moosh]] and [[Dimitri]]). Despite having a pouch—which is characteristic of female kangaroos—Ricky is referred to as a male in the North American and European English manuals.<ref name="Manual"/> He is capable of scaling large walls and small holes in a single jump. He is also able to punch and briefly charge and unleash a Tornado Punch as his methods of attack. Link can use [[Strange Flute|Ricky's Flute]] to call him, though this will not work everywhere.<ref>{{Cite|Your flute's song fell flat.|N/A|OoS}}</ref> | ||
Depending on which animal Link befriends, the landscape of certain areas in [[Holodrum]] or [[Labrynna]] will change. If Link has Ricky join him, some areas within these regions may resemble a prairie-like landscape with occasional cliffs and a couple of holes that Ricky can jump over. | Depending on which animal Link befriends, the landscape of certain areas in [[Holodrum]] or [[Labrynna]] will change.
