山林霸主
這個條目會介紹山林霸主下凡的原理。
下凡
如果 'AnimalMaster_Appearance' 這個 flag 是 true，山林霸主就會出現。這個 flag 是下面這個有限狀態自動機控制的。
- 如果月相是 5 （眉月）而且林克不在 map area 64 （薩托利山區域），遊戲會生成一個整數 "appearance hour"，這個數字會隨機落在 [0 .. 22] 區間.
- 如果時鐘上的時等於 appearance hour，那遊戲會把 AnimalMaster_Appearance 設成 true，然後山林霸主就會出現。如果你在山林霸主出現前就踏入薩托利山周邊區域的話，appearance hour 會被作廢，然後自動機回到狀態 1。
- 一個小時後，遊戲會紀錄今天星期幾。
- 過了（遊戲內的）二十四小時或是日期差了兩天之後，遊戲會把 AnimalMaster_Appearance 設成 false，山林霸主就會消失。
Interestingly, only the appearance hour is determined by RNG. The LotM consistently appears on the 5th day of a moon cycle as long as conditions are satisfied.
Note that whenever you enter/leave a shrine (or warp from or to anything that is not physically in the overworld) or reload a save, the AnimalMaster_Appearance flag is reset to false. That flag does not persist across reloads.

Calm down number
The Lord of the Mountain requires 40 "calm down" presses to be (temporarily) tamed[1]. 40 is the highest number of presses among all horses and horse-like animals.
