[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Two Scarecrows, Bonooru and Pierre, can be found in a fenced-in area overlooking Lake Hylia when Link is a child. Here, Link can play a tune for Bonooru on his ocarina, and the Scarecrow promises to remember it.

When Link returns to Lake Hylia as an adult, he finds Bonooru is still implanted in the ground there, but Pierre has managed to wander from Lake Hylia. Link can play the tune he tought to Bonooru as a child again, which in turn, becomes the "Scarecrow's Song". With this tune, Link can summon Pierre in certain locations, indicated by Navi, to help him reach hard-to-reach places.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Link encounters Bonooru in the Trading Post and the Astral Observatory. In addition to serving the same function as Pierre in Ocarina of Time, the Scarecrow teaches the hero the "Song of Double Time" and the "Inverted Song of Time", and can also make time pass to the next dawn or sundown in the three-day cycle, bar on the Night of the Final Day.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Scarecrows appear as inanimate objects in Ordon Village. They act as training dummies, as Link can practice using his various items on them. Ordon Pumpkins are used as their heads, and shatter if hit by a Jump Attack. At one point, Link shows Talo, Malo and Beth how to use a sword, by practicing on a Scarecrow.
