You can get attacked by pigs just as Link was attacked by the chickens in previous games in the Zelda series. Attack the pig a few times and it will turn red and attack. To make pigs angry and chase you, hit then with a boomerang, arrows, bombs, or your sword. Hit the pig(s) at least four to six times to make the sound of a slap. After that, the pig(s) will jump, flip, then flash red and begin to chase you. The small pigs take off one heart, and the giant pig on Offset Island will take four hearts.
