The '''Anouki''', also known as the '''Anouki Tribe''',<ref>{{Cite book|quote='''Anouki Tribe'''|book=A&A|page=309 {{Exp Game|PH}}}}</ref> are a race of fairly humanoid beings that have antlers like those of a {{Wp|reindeer}} and are found in the [[World of the Ocean King]] in {{PH}} and the re-established land of [[Hyrule]] in {{ST}}. They prefer to live in very cold environments such as the [[Isle of Frost]] in the World of the Ocean King and the [[Snow Realm]] of Hyrule. An animosity exists between the sect of the Anouki tribe in the World of the Ocean King and the more menacing-looking [[Yook]] tribe, but the Anouki are largely the only race inhabiting Hyrule's Snow Realm in ''Spirit Tracks'' with the Yook nowhere to be seen.

The enemy of the Anouki tribe is the more fierce-looking [[Yook]] tribe, and a peace agreement made 100 years before the events of {{PH|-}} gave the Anouki the western side of the isle and the Yook the eastern side.<ref>{{Cite|We Anouki have got one enemy on this island. They're the Yook. There was a lot of bad blood between our ancestors. So 100 years ago, we made an agreement. The Anouki live in the west... And those hairy Yook live over in the east on the Great Ice Field.|Island Chief|PH}}</ref> The Anouki are small humanoid creatures, with antlers growing from their heads. Usually, they appear to have no warm hide, and have to wear fur clothes, suggesting that they are not indigenous to such a cold area as the Isle of Frost, though not much is known about their tribe's full history or their true anatomy.<ref>{{Cite|What? How do we keep from freezing in a place like this? Come on, guy! Toughen up. And pack a little blubber on ya. Heh heh. Heh-CHOO!!!|Anouki|PH}}</ref> The Anouki are one of the three tribes who were originally given the [[Pure Metal|Azurine]], one of the Pure Metals needed to create the [[Phantom Blade]], however the Azurine is kept in the [[Temple of Ice (Phantom Hourglass)|Temple of Ice]] on the Yook's side of the isle.<ref>{{Cite|Those Yook tossed that Azurine somewhere in the Temple of Ice. When we made that treaty 100 years ago...|Island Chief|PH}}</ref> Link is tasked with navigating the eastern half of the isle in order to reach the temple and retrieve the Pure Metal, though he is able to do so with the assistance of the Anouki. | ||
It is known that the Anouki are honest people and never lie, as compared to the [[Yook]], who have the opposite reputation.<ref>{{Cite|Go to the Anouki Estates up north,[Link].

*In both | *In both {{PH|-}} and ''Spirit Tracks'', the initial encounter with the Anouki presents Link with a logic puzzle. The puzzle in {{PH|-}} is a type of [[Wikipedia:Knights and Knaves|Knights and Knaves]] puzzle, while the puzzle in ''Spirit Tracks'' is a type of puzzle more akin to a [[Wikipedia:Logic grid puzzle|logic grid puzzle]], in which Link must determine the set of pairings that satisfies all of the conditions given. | ||
*It isn't mentioned ''who'' told the Anouki that they couldn't "crash [on the Isle of Frost] forever." However, as the Yook are nowhere to be seen in the re-established Hyrule, it is possible that the Yook drove the Anouki out some time before ''Spirit Tracks'' and now have the island to themselves. However, this still fails to explain exactly ''how'' the Anouki made it to New Hyrule, as the [[World of the Ocean King]] is shown to be a separate world from the one containing the [[Great Sea]], which would seem to make a simple sea voyage insufficient to reach the continent. | *It isn't mentioned ''who'' told the Anouki that they couldn't "crash [on the Isle of Frost] forever."
