| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Chain Chomps appear in [[Turtle Rock]], where, much like in the ''Mario'' games, they lunge at the player, only to be halted by their chains. Unlike other games, their mouths are constantly open and they seem to only have teeth on their upper jaws.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Chain Chomps also appear in the [[Palace of the Four Sword]]. Unlike many other enemies there, they use the same colors as they otherwise do.

| [[File:BowWow LA sprite.png|frame]]
| |
| A Chain Chomp, called '''BowWow''' (also formatted as '''Bow Wow'''), appears as a pet of [[Madam MeowMeow]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', and has its own photo in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]''. After completing [[Tail Cave]], a gang of [[Moblin]]s kidnaps BowWow. After rescuing BowWow, [[Link]] must take BowWow on a walk eventually leading to [[Goponga Swamp]], and allow him to eat the [[Goponga Flower]]s in front of [[Bottle Grotto]]. In Madam MeowMeow's house are two '''Mini Bow-Wows'''<ref>Nintendo Power Source (February 5, 1998). [http://web.archive.org/web/19980205072931/http://www.nintendo.com/gb/zelda/items.html Items]. ''Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Strategy''. Retrieved November 8, 2019.</ref>, later named [[ChowChow]] and [[CiaoCiao]].
| |
| | |
| In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], he is still referred to as BowWow, despite the other alternatively named ''Mario'' enemies having theirs changed to the standard ones. A BowWow figure is a prize in the [[Trendy Game]], and can be placed on a stand in Madam MeowMeow's house.
| |
| | |
| ====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords''====
| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'', BowWow is a rare item and acts as he did in ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''. He is called a Chain Chomp in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition]]'', and appears in the ''Link's Awakening''-inspired area in the [[Realm of Memories]], fittingly in Goponga Swamp.

| ====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''====

| |
| In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', a Chain Chomp appears as an enemy in the corrupted [[Kakariko Village]]. Its sprites resemble retouched versions of those from ''Link's Awakening'', and it uses the same dog bark that they have used in ''Mario'' games since ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]''. It appears in a maze of fences and fire reachable after all of the [[Thief|thieves]] have been caught, occasionally lunging through the fire at the Links. Once the fire is put out, its post can be reached.

| |
| In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', a Chain Chomp appears as the [[Ball and Chain]] for the third level of [[Gauntlets]], the [[Power Glove]]s. The Chain Chomp's appearance notably does not resemble its current ''Mario'' design, but rather the design from most [[Nintendo GameCube]] games prior to ''[[mariowiki:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario 64 DS|Super Mario 64 DS]]'', though the former also featured the design in artwork. In ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'', a piece of headwear in its likeness, named the [[Bow-Wow headband]], is included as an unlockable [[Fairy Clothing]] for [[companion fairy|companion fairies]] in [[My Fairy]] mode. This was incorporated into ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition]]''.

| |
| *Chain Chomps were originally designed for the ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, but the concept ended up first appearing in the ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series.<ref name=GlitterBerri/> Allegedly, [[Takashi Tezuka]] later decided to put one in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series as a joke.<ref>Nintendo (August 4, 2014).
