If you visit the town again later, you will learn that Richard has disappeared.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>Luckily, you can help the distressed owner to find her precious dog.

To know which one is Ricard, you must look for a<strong> white dog that will twirl and emit a high-pitched bark<\/strong> when you interact with it. All the other dogs have a deeper bark and briefly stand on their hind legs instead of spinning like Richard does. Since you can only look for Richard at night, consider unlocking the Sun&#8217;s Song to change the time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Image: Nintendo EPD\\\/Nintendo via Polygon&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Richard, a terrier with white fur, poses in front of Link in the Ocarina of Time remake.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/>\n        <\/picture><small class=\"body-img-caption\">Image: Nintendo EPD\/Nintendo via Polygon<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While it is possible to find Richard through trial and error, you don&#8217;t need to. First look for the <strong>white dogs<\/strong>, then <strong>interact with them to see how they react<\/strong>. Since there aren&#8217;t many white dogs, checking each one does not take much time. When I found Richard, he was on the street on the left side of the map, but I can&#8217;t guarantee that it would always be in the same place for every player.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have interacted with and identified Richard, he will follow you. Head to the <strong>street that leads to the entrance of the city<\/strong> to find its owner, then talk to her. After a detailed analysis, she will confirm that that dog is, indeed, Richard, and <strong>she will reward you with a Piece of Heart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to start this quest but Richard hasn&#8217;t disappeared yet, be sure to <strong>deliver Zelda&#8217;s letter<\/strong> to the guard in Kakariko Village after completing the &#8220;Princess of Hyrule Castle&#8221; quest. Progressing through the campaign until this point will trigger a change in Hyrule Castle Town and unlock the Richard quest.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-oot-richard-dog-location-how-to-find\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding Richard is a side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
