In Ghost of Tsushima, foxes lead the player to shrines, which grant certain items. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you can befriend dogs by feeding them and they'll lead you to treasure. Not foxes sure, but almost the same thing. I wonder if the developers of these games were inspired by Skyrim's "feature".
- ewidar 5y agoI don't know for sure, but there is quite a lot of lore around foxes and dogs, see Kitsune and Komainu for example. Since Zelda is a Nintendo game and Ghost of Tsushima is set in Japan, I would think it has more to do with real world lore than a reference to Skyrim.
- rightbyte 5y agoI recall that in Ocarina of Time there was a dog in the windmill village that lead you somewhere when you gave it food? Might remember wrong though.
- delecti 5y agoThere was a dog in Hyrule Castle Town that you had to "befriend" (stand vaguely near for a few seconds), and the dog's owner rewarded you with a Heart Piece if you returned it to her. I don't remember any significant dogs in Kakariko Village (where the windmill was), or the ability to give food to any of them.
- rightbyte 5y agoOh. Ye that is probably what I was thinking about. The windmill village was throwing chickens into a hen house.
