Ordon Goat

Ordon Goats are animals in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Ordon Goats are a domesticated breed of animal from the Ordona Province. They have blue fur and a single circular horn instead of two normal ones. The villagers of Ordon Village rely heavily on their milk and meats, a favorite food produce being Ordon Goat Cheese, apparently a delicacy. They also use their horns to decorate their houses, as many are seen on signs and roofs. Ordon goats can also be found in stalls in Hyrule Castle Town.

The Ordon Shield is designed after Ordon Goats' horns. The Ordon Sword is infused with strong Ordon Goats' horns. Before he went on his quest, Link was a goat herder for Ordon Ranch. His skills for handling runaway goats made themselves useful later on when fighting Gorons.

They can be seen and interacted with anytime during the day in Ordon Ranch. If stroked, they become coy and shy, while if attacked, they suddenly glow an angry red and begin stampeding around the ranch in an attempt to crush Link - much like Cuccos. If Link is hit by one, he is knocked back to the ground, but recieves no damage. The goat will then resume grazing. In a potential head-on collision, Link can grab the goat and throw them to the floor in an identical manner to the early stages of the game.

Interestingly, unlike most other animals in Twilight Princess, Ordon Goats are some of the few animals that Link cannot talk to while in wolf form.
