Herons are a type of Bird common within Hyrule Kingdom. Only two varieties of Herons exist, these being the Blue-Winged Heron and the Pink Heron. Blue-Winged Herons can be found near bodies of Water on Hyrule Ridge or in the Faron Grasslands, eating Frogs and Fish.[3] Pink Herons reside in more arid Regions, like Hyrule Ridge and Hyrule Field, where they hunt for Insects.[4] Both types of Herons will fly away if Link disturbs them, and they drop Raw Bird Drumsticks when they are killed.

These birds live on waterfronts all throughout Hyrule. Their characteristically thin legs and long necks help them catch water-dwelling fish or frogs for food. They lie perfectly still in wait for their prey and then stretch out their long necks to capture their meal.

This breed of heron is characterized by the pink tips of its feathers. Unlike its waterfront- dwelling relative the blue-winged heron, these live in grasslands or arid regions and subsist on insects that live in the grass. They can often be found walking about searching for food but will fly away if they sense danger.
