Pig

Pigs are frequently appearing animals in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. They are generally peaceful animals, and possess a fear of humans. However, if aggravated to a point, they will summon all other pigs in the area and attack their tormentor. Unless led into a body of water (which relieves their anger), they generally attack until their victim is killed. Alternatives to escaping their wrath include entering buildings and going to areas they cannot reach, such as stairs. Pigs can also be picked up, a skill that aids in several side-missions such as retrieving them for Dampa. Still, their fear of humans makes this difficult, so lifting them requires sneaking up to by crouching.

Link the Pig
Link the Pig is a pig, caught by either Abe or Link, that provides usage as a pet for Abe and his family. Originally small, the pig eventually grows to become enormous. The pig, only able to be picked up with the Power Bracelets, can be used to dig up several valuables throughout the islands, such as Rupees and even a Piece of Heart.
