Yes, I said farting pig. At one point in the game I think I made this pig mad. It may have been when I grabbed him and tossed him off a 200ft cliff into the cold ocean below. So the pig crawled up onto the shore after draining all his piggy-energy swimming for dear life, when I grabbed him again (I had ran back down the mountain to snatch him and do the whole thing over again so I could see the look on his piggy-face). Well when I pick him up this time, either out of frustration or possibly as a defensive mechanism, the little dude starts farting. I just sat there holding this pig above my head as it squirmed and little yellow tufts of wind puffed out it's butt.

Maybe in Hyrule--or wherever this one takes place--the pigs aren't just run-of-the-mill pigs, but more like a super skunk-pig hybrid. *shrugs* It's possible.
