Pigs appear as Enemies in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. There are several different varieties of Pigs. What appears to be their snout is actually their face, with their eyes in the "nostrils". They appear to be closely related to Oinkers.

Variations

Eyelid Pig

Eyelid Pigs (or simply Eyelids) are the most basic of the pigs. They are cowardly and will run away from Tingle if they see him. They are found in Hometown Prairie and Cape Treasure. They may drop Minced Meat or Short Fur when defeated.

Flying Pig

Nomenclature

The Japanese name for these enemies generally consist of puns on the word ブタ (Buta), meaning "pig." For example, Eyelid Pigs are known as マブタ (Mabuta), meaning "Eyelids," while Diver Pigs are known as ダイブタ (Daibuta), a combination of Buta and ダイバー (Daibā), meaning "diver."
