Cats
I thought they were cats. Besides, is there a source for them being dogs, or even their names? 02:58, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * They are dogs; they look like dogs and act like dogs. Jeangabin 12:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * They pounce. I've never seen a dog pounce. :v/ 20:47, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * When I play with my golden retriever, it will occasionally pounce. Additionally, Wolf Link pounces. 00:10, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well they're actually foxes despite the English name, go figure. 22:44, 23 July 2012 (EDT)

Dogs or foxes?
I'm actually not sure if they ARE foxes after all in the Japanese game. I have both the official guides for the LA game on hand and I can't actually find where they are named... Japanese sites call them foxes, but that might just be an assumed name. If anyone can find a source for the name, bonus points to you. 14:18, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * As of the new Switch remake, I think it's reasonable to say they are and always were meant to be interpreted as foxes. After all, dogs in this world look like Chain chomps. AdeonWriter (talk) 04:27, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * According to Encyclopedia (and even the old Zelda.com), they are dogs. 04:11, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * And as of the Switch remake, they are called foxes in the game's code. In my opinion this is a much more reliable source as the canonically of the encyclopedia is questionable, but game code is part of the game. AdeonWriter (talk) 18:46, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Files not meant to be seen shouldn't be used over other official media. Encyclopedia is an officially licensed book which even affected the timeline from the official website of the series, so it is canon. 03:06, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * yeah, the nintendo devs mispelling dog "fox" and accidentally making it look like a fox instead of a dog is an easy mistake. done with the edit war anyway, literally everyone is calling them foxes because we have eyes. don't need a wiki to know that I guess AdeonWriter (talk) 04:12, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
