{{about|the recurring enemy|the realistic crow from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|[[Mountain Crow]]}}

'''Crows''' are an enemy species of bird found primarily in the 2-dimensional ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. They generally appear perched on a tree or other high place. When [[Link]] walks near, they fly up from their perch and swoop at him. On rare occasions, they are found already flying. In the 3-dimensional games, their role often goes to another crow-based enemy, [[Guay]].

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''===
[[File:Crow ALttP sprite.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Crows are found in trees primarily on the northwestern portion of [[Hyrule]], around and in the [[Lost Woods]]. They have purple beaks, a pair of white feathers behind their heads, and no discernible pupils. They swoop at Link when they see him and then fly away. In the [[Dark World]], they are replaced by the pterosaurian [[Dacto|Flyceratops]].

===''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''===
[[File:Crow LA sprite.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', Crows are in the [[Tabahl Wasteland]] near the [[Witch's Hut]], and act the same as in ''A Link to the Past''. One also appears on the western side of [[Kanalet Castle]], and carries one of the [[Golden Leaf|Golden Leaves]]. Instead of attacking Link, it sits in its tree and attempts to fly away if the tree is hit using the [[Pegasus Boots]]. In this game, they have a large beak, hunched posture, and visible pupils. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'', they have blue beaks, while in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], they have purple beaks.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages''===
[[File:Crow OoS-OoA sprite.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', Crows look like they do in ''Link's Awakening'', but now have orange beaks. In the former, they are found on [[Mt. Cucco]], where they fly endlessly from the left side of the screen when Link is climbing a long staircase, swooping at him when they get close enough. They also appear at [[Temple Remains]], acting more typically. In the latter game, they appear in [[Yoll Graveyard]], where they act normally, and [[Rolling Ridge Base]] in the present, where they fly from the sides of the screen, but only two for each map square they appear.

===''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap''===
[[File:Crow blue TMC sprite.png|frame]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'', Crows have a more realistic build with a slightly smaller, yellow beak. They act the same as previously, though their range of sight is much larger, meaning they can sometimes attack from off-screen. They are found in the [[Western Wood]]. [[Takkuri]] in this game is depicted as a red recolor of them, and is found in [[Royal Valley]].

===''The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]'', Crows have even smaller beaks. They now attempt to steal [[Rupee]]s when they attack Link, and will fly straight up until they are off-screen if they miss. They first appear in northern [[Mercay Island]], and appear on several later islands. Several also appear on the rim of the [[Traveler's Ship|Prince of Red Lions]] (with one even being visible from [[Linebeck]]'s ship), but will simply fly away when approached.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'', Crows look and act the same as in ''Phantom Hourglass''.

===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Crows are found in the same places as ''A Link to the Past'', though they look closer to the ones in ''Link's Awakening''. They are quite aggressive, repeatedly swooping at Link until he has run a specific distance away from them or has defeated them, a behavior previously unique to [[Dacto]].

===''The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes''===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes]]'', Crows are found in the [[Forest]]. They look the same as in ''A Link Between Worlds'', but can now be found flying in small circles instead of being perched while waiting for Link to appear.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom''====
Crows appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom]]''.
