Arwings are aircrafts from the Star Fox series and unused enemies in Ocarina of Time.[1][2][3]

Characteristics[]

The Arwing is the vehicle used by the Star Fox team in the Star Fox series. In Ocarina of Time, an unused enemy Arwing can be found by modifying the game's data, either by hacking or using a cheat device. When Link enters an area with an Arwing, a small cutscene will play showing the ship appearing. The Arwing will then proceed to fly around the area and attack Link with its lasers.

The Arwing was used to test the flight patterns of Volvagia.[1] It was left in the coding of ports of the original game, but is absent from Ocarina of Time 3D.
