Navi's comment

White Wolfos are larger than regular Wolfos and typically inhabit icy areas like the Ice Cavern. They circle Link before attacking and block head-on strikes, but their spinning attack briefly exposes their tails. A White Wolfos serves as a Sub-Boss in the Ice Cavern, with others appearing in the Gerudo Training Ground.

Majora's Mask

Tatl's comment

White Wolfos in Termina are the same as their Hyrulean counterparts. They are found on the Road to Mountain Village, inside giant snowballs in Mountain Village, along the Road to Goron Village, at Snowhead, and within Snowhead Temple. When spring returns to Snowhead, all White Wolfos outside Snowhead Temple are replaced by regular Wolfos, implying that they were just covered in snow.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, White Wolfos more closely resemble wolves then their previous counterparts. They are found only in Snowpeak and Snowpeak Ruins, where they lunge at Link to attack. Often appearing in groups, they hide in the snow and strike from unexpected angles.

Spirit Tracks

In Spirit Tracks, White Wolfos appear throughout the Snow Realm, including the Snow Sanctuary, Snow Temple, and Wellspring Station. Hunting in packs, they emerge from the snow when Link passes by and attempt to dash into him.

Other Appearances

Ambiguously Canon Information

Link's Crossbow Training

In Link's Crossbow Training, White Wolfos appear in Level 8: Snowpeak Ruins: Defender. They inhabit the mountains of Snowpeak in packs, and can be found around the frozen lake and can ambush Link from piles of snow. Similar to their appearance in Twilight Princess, they surround Link in groups and attack by pouncing on him. They appear in much greater numbers as the Level's timer begins to runs out. They can be defeated with one shot of the Crossbow.

Cadence of Hyrule

White Wolfos appear as enemies in Cadence of Hyrule where they only appear in cold, icy dungeons such as the Frozen Grotto and parts of the Future World. Like most enemies, they can only move to the beat of the music and prefer to move on every second beat. However, unlike other enemies, they can move and attack in all eight directions, including diagonally. Fortunately, they will only attack either Cadence, Link, Yves, and Zelda if they're not looking directly at them.

If any of the heroes does manage to get a look at them, they will change their course of direction and hop away from the heroes, keeping their eyes on them at all times until they turn around or until the White Wolfos moves to a position either behind or adjacent to the hero where they cannot see them. Before moving and attacking, they will always crouch down and bare their long, saber-tooth-like fangs for one beat before hopping onto another tile, dealing damage to anyone who's standing in their way. They share this pattern with other Wolfos enemies.

A White Wolfos pup can be found outside of the Kakariko Shooting Gallery in Story Mode — Octavo. Octavo can pet it by moving in its direction.
