 The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening sprite | |
| First appearance | Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988, overall) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991, Zelda franchise) |

Chain Chomps are a dog-like species that appears in several The Legend of Zelda games, starting with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They are from the Mario franchise.
Chain Chomp, called BowWow, appears as a pet of Madame 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 Moblins kidnaps BowWow. After rescuing BowWow, Link must take BowWow on a walk, and allow him to eats the obstacles in front of Bottle Grotto. In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/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. However, in the Nintendo Switch remake, he is still referred to as BowWow. A BowWow figure is a prize in the Trendy Game, and can be placed on a stand in Madame MeowMeow's house.
