Wild sheep, cows, and pigs will now stay alert when a player approaches them, just like wild animals in real life and in other games.
-
Wild animals sprint away until the player is far enough, and even panic as a herd when one animal bolts.
-
Sneak and approach from behind to make it much easier to get close to them.
-
They exhibit group behaviors, fleeing together as a pack when one gets startled.
-
Approach with the food they like to flip them into a friendly state — but hurting them will make them flee again, except when the hit is delivered using the food they are tempted by.
If you want to further change the behavior of horses, there's a special version dedicated to horses: Zelda Horse Behavior.
