Template:Character BowWow,[1] also stylized as Bow Wow,[2] is a character in Link's Awakening.
Biography
BowWow is one of Madam MeowMeow's three pets, being the biggest of them and the only one kept outdoors. Like the Chain Chomps of A Link to the Past, BowWow charges at Link when he approaches, although he is completely harmless. When Link comes back from Toronbo Shores after completing Tail Cave, a pair of boys near the Village Library will inform him that BowWow has been kidnapped by a gang of Moblins.[2][3] Link can go to Madam MeowMeow's House in Mabe Village only to find her panicked and begging for help.[4]
To rescue BowWow, Link must enter Moblin Cave located in Tal Tal Heights and defeat King Moblin who will comment on Link's objective.[5][6] After the Moblin is defeated, BowWow can be found chained to a rock in the next room.[7] If Link returns to Madam MeowMeow before completing Bottle Grotto, she will ask Link to take BowWow for a walk.[8]
While Link is taking BowWow for a walk, he will have many interactions with the world such as telling Link where to dig for Secret Seashells,[9][10] swallowing Enemies,[citation needed] and eating Indigestible Flowers,[11] which are blocking the entrance to Bottle Grotto.[5][12] Although he allows Link to clear the entrance of the Dungeon, he can not enter it himself.[12] If Link tries to enter Richard's Villa, he will ask him not to enter with BowWow, thus preventing Link from entering the Villa until he returns BowWow to his owner.[13] If Link has completed the Dungeon and calls Grandpa Ulrira, he will tell Link to bring back BowWow to Madam MeowMeow.[14] When he does, she will take BowWow back and express her gratitude in the form of a kiss, which heals Link to full Health.[15]
In Link's Awakening DX, after Link has returned BowWow and has met the Photographer, he can stand next to BowWow and let the Photographer take a Photo for The Travels of Link that he will name "Link Plays With BowWow".[16]

Trivia
- A sign near the western entrance of Goponga Swamp tells adventurers to keep out due to the imminent danger that the Swamp represents, except for BowWow.[17] This is because he is the only one able to eat the Indigestible Flowers that are present in the Swamp.
Nomenclature
His name is mostly a reference to the sound he sometimes makes when barking.[18]
