Tips for Hunting Eldin Ostriches
Unlike other birds, Eldin Ostriches are land animals that don't disappear after being spooked. If you get too close to one, it does a goofy jump and gracelessly lopes away. One hit with a ranged weapon usually takes them down but it is possible to chase them down for a melee strike. They drop high-quality meat, so it's worth your time either way.
