Seagulls are recurring creatures in the Legend of Zelda series. In most of their appearances, they serve no special purpose other than helping to create mood and ambiance.

Appearances Edit

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Edit

Seagulls are an object of fascination for Marin. She relates to Link how she dreams of becoming a seagull and fly away from Koholint Island. If Link manages to complete the game without dying, Marin will be shown flying across the screen with wings in the "The End" screen. This may be an indication that she fulfilled that dream.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Edit

Seagulls, which can be found almost everywhere on the Great Sea, can be controlled if they take one of Link's Hyoi Pear for a while. Link can use a seagull to collect far off or out-of-reach Rupees or to hit switches. If the controlled seagull is hit by an enemy, Link loses control of it. When they are found while sailing, they will follow Link's boat. Seagulls are also known to gather in flocks on the Great Sea near Big Octos. Seagulls also tend to flock around Aryll, Link's sister.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Edit

Seagulls will fly alongside the S.S. Linebeck and can be shot with Link's cannon. The only result of this is that the seagull will fall back a few feet from the ship until it recovers.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit TracksEdit

Seagulls will fly alongside the Spirit Train in the Ocean Realm, while doves, who behave very similarly to seagulls, appear in most other areas.
