* BowWow sometimes telling Link to dig in certain spots while barking, which indicates where a {{Term|LADX|Secret Seashell}} is hidden, may be a reference to the Japanese folk tale ''{{Wp|Hanasaka Jiisan}}'', where an old man's dog tells its owner to dig in a certain spot while barking, which leads to him uncovering gold coins. | |||
