Wolfos first appear in Ocarina of Time, commonly appearing in forest environments, namely the Sacred Forest Meadow, and the Forest Temple, as well as the Spirit Temple and Ganon's Castle. Wolfos will emerge from the ground when approached and fight in direct combat, circling Link and diving in to strike with their claws. They can duck down to block Link's attacks. One strategy is to Z-Target them and use the Shield constantly, then attack when it drops its guard. Another strategy is to back away when the Wolfos goes to attack, which will cause its raking claws to miss. It will then spin around, leaving its back exposed. If Link hits the tail, it will be defeated instantly.[6] Another option is to use the Hookshot or a Deku Nut to stun it, and then attack at will. Their counterpart is the White Wolfos, which is much larger and only appears in cold and snowy surroundings.

Wolfos return in Majora's Mask, acting the same as in Ocarina of Time and appear near the Southern Swamp, replacing the White Wolfos of Snowhead after spring is returned to the mountain upon Goht's death. A single Wolfos also appears in Sakon's Hideout as part of the mechanism that protects the Sun Mask.
Echoes of Wisdom
Descriptions
Wolfos
This wolflike creature is the bane of travelers, circling ominously around them to sow fear and confusion.
Wolfos are lupine Enemies that inhabit Hyrule Field and the lower area of Hebra Mountain. They are considered the "bane of travelers".[2] Wolfos attack by circling and then dashing at their targets. Their Echoes initially cost 3 
of Tri's Power to create. This cost lowers to 2 when Tri's Power increases to Level 7. Wolfos are attracted to Grilled Fish and Meat as Bait.
Other Appearances

Though they do not appear physically, Crossbows in Hyrule Warriors are traditionally used to ward Wolfos away from flocks of Cuccos.[5]
Cadence of Hyrule
The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.
Wolfos appear as enemies in Cadence of Hyrule where they can be found in forested areas and dungeons. Like most enemies, they can only move to the beat of the music and move every two music beats. However, they can move and attack in all eight directions, including diagonally, which can make fighting large packs of them dangerous. In fact, a large pack of Wolfos does appear within a section of the Lost Woods along with a single Black Wolfos, the latter of which always spawning near the exit where the heroes are supposed to go in order to reach the Lost Swamp.
Fortunately, they will only attack Cadence, Link, Yves, and Zelda if they're not looking directly at them. When they do look at the Wolfos, they will change their course of direction and hop away from the heroes, keeping their eyes on them at all times until they turn around or until the Wolfos moves to a position either behind or adjacent to the hero where they cannot see them.
Before moving and attacking, they will always crouch down and bare their long, saber-tooth-like fangs for one beat before hopping onto another tile, dealing damage to anyone who's standing in their way. They share this pattern with other Wolfos species, such as the White Wolfos and Red Wolfos. Their movement pattern is based on the Hellhound enemies from Crypt of the NecroDancer.
