Befriending Wild Animals

If you feed and interact with wild animals, you can befriend them. If you're close enough, you can even get special gifts.

Interacting with Wild Animals

Picking up or talking to a wild animal will increase your friendship with that type of animal.

Feeding Wild Animals

You can also feed wild animals by pressing A near the animal while holding a food item. The list below shows different animal preferences. Giving an animal its favorite food will increase friendship more than other foods.
