they make sporadic appearances after that, most notably right after you discover the Wind Fish prophecy (which they feature in) plus there are the owl statues on the overworld that give you cryptic messages (SEA BEARS FOAM, SLEEP BEARS DREAMS. BOTH END IN THE SAME WAY CRASSSH!) and in dungeons in the DX version that give you hints (replacing a generic hint slab from the original version)
