Even a setting like that of Roots of the Wild wouldn’t be complete without animal companions to keep your OCs company. Thankfully getting regular ol’ pets is as easy as deciding they have one!

So what counts as a regular pet? Most regular animals found in Hyrule that you’d think might count! This includes a wide variety of creatures such as cats and dogs, frogs, lizards, birds, ferrets, rabbits, most domestic farm animals such as cucco and sheep and then some! If you’re unsure if your pet idea qualifies, ask the mod team!

There are of course some hard exceptions to what is allowed. Not everything can be a regular pet, as some of Hyrule’s more unique, rare or larger creatures aren’t so simple to come by. Additionally, smaller and simpler creatures such as snails or insects may simply not qualify.

▹ Some wild animals, like wolves and coyote, are far too wild to ever keep without the proper training and attention that would make them perk pets! Others, like remlits, are incredibly rare to encounter in the first place!

▹ Animals such as horses, donkey, deer, and mountain goats fall under the Mounts category and must be tamed first. Check the Mounts Page to see the full list!

▹ And lastly, small monsters such as chuchu, keese or walltula simply cannot be kept as pets under normal circumstances. Once obtained through special means, they must be hand raised with care.
