 {{distinguish2|[[Sand Crab]], a recurring enemy that is sometimes named Crab}}
 A '''Crab''' is a real world animal and a [[List of species|species]] in [[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise]]. The most common type of Crab is a [[Sand Crab]], an enemy often found at beaches and shores. This enemy debuted in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', but regular Crabs have debuted in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' and would later appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''.
+==History==
+=== ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'' ===
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', crabs are primarily found on the beaches on the various islands, and simply scurry about. If Link approaches a crab, it buries itself in sand. If Link attempts to attack a crab with his sword, [[Rupee]]s pop out from where the Crab buries itself.
+=== ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'' ===
+In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'', crabs appear as catchable seafood alongside [[Snail]]s and [[Fish]]. There are three types of crabs: [[Bright-Eyed Crab]]s, [[Ironshell Crab]]s, and [[Razorclaw Crab]]s. They are collectible [[materials|ingredients]] classified as "seafood" and can be [[cooking|cooked]] with monster parts and rhino beetles providing the same effect to make [[potion|elixirs]], or to cooked with certain compatible ingredients to create more elaborated [[food|dishes]] such as [[Crab Omelet with Rice]], [[Crab Risotto]], [[Crab Stir-Fry]], and [[Salt-Grilled Crab]]. They can be roasted to create [[Blackened Crab]] or frozen to create [[Frozen Crab]]. Cooking them with monster parts alone generally results in the failed dish, [[Dubious Food]]. [[Beedle]] uses Bright-Eyed Crab as additional ingredients in the [[Energizing Elixir]]s he trades to Link for Rhino Beetles though he states they can be cooked with monster parts to create Energizing Elixirs failing to mention he used a [[Restless Cricket]] and [[Lizalfos Tail]] for the base recipe requirements adding in a Bright-Eyed Crab and a [[Stamella Shroom]] as additional ingredients. If Link tries to cook a Bright-Eyed Crab and monster parts as Beelde suggests without either a [[Energetic Rhino Beetle]] or Restless Cricket as part of the base recipe then the result will be Dubious Food. Crabs can only be used as additional ingredients for making [[Potion|Elixir]]s. Razorclaw Crabs can be used as additional ingredients to create [[Mighty Elixir]]s while Ironshell Crabs can be used as additional ingredients to create [[Tough Elixir]]s. Link can also take their picture to add them to the Creatures section of the [[Hyrule Compendium]], though each crab has the same Hyrule Compendium description as their item description.
+[[Lurelin Village]] fishermen hunt crabs to eat and sell. [[Mubs]] sells Ironshell Crabs caught by village fishermen at her Fish Market in Lurelin Village. The travelling merchants [[Chumin]] and [[Bugut]] sell rare Bright-Eyed Crabs. Link can also sell crabs to merchants and shops in exchange for Rupees. Razorclaw and Ironshell Crabs are both commonly found on beaches in the [[East Necluda]] and [[Necluda Sea]] regions. Bright-Eyed Crabs tend to appear when it rains in [[Lanayru Great Spring]] and non-volcanic areas of the [[Eldin Canyon]] region.
+Most weapons allow Link to kill a crab, allowing him to collect them easily and preventing them from scurrying off, though [[Bow]]s, [[Boomerang]]s, and spears such as [[Fishing Harpoon]]s are considerably the most effective. Boomerangs can kill multiple crabs in a single throw. However, Link should avoid shooting a Crab with [[Ancient Arrow]]s, which obliterates the crab completely, wasting a valuable Ancient Arrow and preventing Link from being able to obtain it. Hitting any crab with a [[Fire Arrow]] will roast it, turning it into a Blackened Crab. Likewise, hitting any crab with a [[Ice Arrow]] freezes it, turning it into a Frozen Crab. Arrows and Shock Arrows can kill a crab, allowing it to be collected raw.
