"Link can use this bait to lure the enemy and bump them off as they come to eat it. But watch out! This doesn't work for some of the enemy."

— The Legend of Zelda manual

Food, also known as Bait or Enemy Bait, is an item from The Legend of Zelda. This item, which appears to be some sort of meat, can be used to lure enemies to a specific location, making them easier for Link to kill. Also, food is needed to feed a Hungry Goriya in Level 7 during the first quest, and in both Level 3 and Level 8 during the Second Quest; the creature blocks Link's path, grumbling for food, and the only way to move forward is to present it with the food. Link can place one piece of food at a time. It will disappear after enough time has passed, or if Link uses the boomerang. Food can be purchased from a few of the Merchants in the caves around Hyrule.

It is important to note that this item has infinite uses when tossed about to lure in foes, but is removed from the inventory when given to the Hungry Goriya. It can be purchased again afterwards.
