White Wolfos

White Wolfos are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. White Wolfos are a special breed of Wolfos that appear in the icy regions of the games in which they appear, with a white fur coat the blends in with the environment. They are usually bigger and stronger than the regular Wolfos.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask
White Wolfos share the same attack pattern and physical appearance in both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. They attack in a similar way to Wolfos, circling Link at a distance, running up to attack with claw swipes, and defending against attacks with their forearms. They deal more damage and are more durable than regular Wolfos, but like the Wolfos, their weak spot are their tails; when this target is hit, White Wolfos are defeated instantly.

In Ocarina of Time, White Wolfos appear only within the Ice Cavern and the Spirit Temple. Specifically, one White Wolfos guards a Treasure Chest containing the Iron Boots in the Ice Cavern.

In Majora's Mask, White Wolfos are much more common, appearing throughout the Snowhead area and the Snowhead Temple. After the defeat of Goht, the White Wolfos disappear and regular Wolfos appear in their stead.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
White Wolfos are found in the Peak Province and the Snowpeak Ruins. These are more wolf-like in appearance than other Wolfos. White Wolfos are able to stay out of Link's attack range and they dodge ranged attacks by leaping to the side. They then proceed to run at him full speed and knock him down with a lunge attack when close enough. In order to defeat them, Link can knock them out of the air as they lunge or chase them into a corner and defeat them with his sword.
