Interesting theory about Maz Koshia and the bananas: the Yiga clan splintered off from the main Sheikah clan when the king turned his back on them, leading them to live peaceful, rural lives in Kakariko. Maz Koshia is obviously from before that time, and it stands to reason that ancient Sheikah enjoyed bananas, since they are such a big part of the Yiga diet, even in the desert.

Lizalfos also eat frogs, lizards, and any insect. They’ll actually nab lizards and insects with their tongues like real chameleons do! If you’re standing in the way of their mouth when they’re trying to grab a bug you can get slapped by their tongues even if they’re completely non-aggro with you (ie Lizalfos mask with no other enemies nearby). You can sometimes see them lick up bugs out of the grass if you watch from afar.

Patricia means "noble" so maybe she got that name because she's the "noble" (royal) Sand Seal and the others are "commoners"?

This is the kind of gameplay I'd be doing... let's see what the animals in this game will eat just because I don't want to go do the main quest. The ostrich in this game has two too many toes to be an (earth) ostrich, haha. It looks weird to me to see chicken or loftwing feet on it. Ostriches and other ratites don't have rear facing toes. Actually, ostriches only have two toes. The larger toe has a long claw for clawing their enemies. Can link tame and ride an ostrich? I've never heard of someone doing that but I want to try.

[@WolfLink_justlookingfordragon]

Now hat you mention it ... i've never paid attention to their toes, but there are indeed a couple too many, lol. For a bird of that size whose main defensive mechanism is kicking other animals and then running away, a "backhand" toe of that size would be a huge hindrance instead of an evolutionary advantage. Sadly you can not ride them ... the same goes for Water Buffalos and the moose and rhinos in the Tabantha/Hebra region.
