Seagull
Seagull are recurring Animals in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3][name references needed] Seagulls go unnamed in Hyrule Warriors Legends. They are the most common inhabitants of sea-faring locations and fly in flocks wherever they are found.
Characteristics
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening DX, Marin transforms into a Seagull during the ending scene of the game if it is completed without dying once.
Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, Seagulls tend to flock around or above areas of significance, such as when Mikau is floating in the Great Bay near death.
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, Seagulls tend to flock near areas of significance, such as above Big Octos. At the Forsaken Fortress, several Seagulls circle around the window of the room in which Aryll is being held captive. A small flock of Seagulls often fly alongside the King of Red Lions if Link has been sailing for an extended period of time.
Link can control Seagulls by using a Hyoi Pear and, subsequently, can fly as the Seagull itself. In order to obtain a Piece of Heart on Bird's Peak Rock, this must be used to activate several Switches located upon the spire peaks of the island, all of which are located at points only a Seagull can reach. Link can control one Seagull at a time and once he stops controlling the Seagull, he must use another Hyoi Pear in order to control another one. Items collected by the Seagull are brought to Link after he ceases controlling it. If an enemy attacks the Seagull, control will return to Link.

In Breath of the Wild, Seagulls live near the ocean, and they can most commonly be found flying over the Necluda Sea and the Akkala Sea.[4][5] They usually fly above where Treasure Chests can be found underneath the Water. Since they mainly eat Fish, fisherman use flocks of Seagulls to determine where they should search for a catch.[5] When they are killed, Seagulls drop Raw Bird Drumsticks.

These birds live near the ocean. They eat mainly fish, so a flock of seagulls hovering over water is a good indication of where there are fish. Fishermen use this to their advantage when searching for a catch of their own.
