Title: Wolf Link without Midna
Post by: Princess Ruto on October 05, 2006, 07:03:52 AM
In the twilight relm link can only be a wolf as far as i now but i'm sure of it. When he is a wolf he'll always have midna riding him .In hyrule link can transform into a wolf but for some reason when he transforms  midna will not be there (i dont no why) but its probly because she/he lives in the twilight relm .When link is a wolf he cant go into towns just like epona .
Also i was wondering how link gets around hyrule .Link can probly go by running but that will take for ever .there is epona and then there is also when he's transformed but does anyone no if there is another way ?

One, Midna is a she.  Two, I haven't heard that Link could be a wolf in Hyrule.  I doubt it's true; him becoming a wolf in the Twilight Realm is like him turning into a bunny in the Dark World.  If you can provide the source of where you heard this tidbit of info, that would be appreciated.  Three, Hyrule is going to be too large for Link to travel it without a horse and still look realistic.  So unless that hawk he can call can pick him up and fly him around Hyrule, he probably only has Epona (who can name something else).

Four, this is a couple of decades after OoT. I don't know a lot about horses, but I assume sweet Epona should be dead by then. So unless it's truly a  reused character, call it Link's horse or something like that.

I don't think anyone was saying it was the same Epona; I certainly wasn't.

Thats just evil saying epona will be dead

How is it evil?  Epona is a living creature, and at some point living creatures will die.  Death is a natural part of life and is nothing to be afraid of.  And horses do not live as long as humans do.  I don't know their lifespan, but Epona must have been considered somewhat old for a horse by the time Link became an adult in OoT.  And I doubt horses can live for a couple of decades, which is the time period between OoT and TP that Nintendo has given us.  Some charactes in OoT may still be around in TP, but Epona most likely won't be.

Horses live from about twenty to thirty years.
But I think TP is set several decades after OoT not just a couple. That would make OoT Link 37 and if TP Link is a descendant that would be pretty hard to work out.

Yeah, I saw that. VERY cool. I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah it looks awesome. But, Human Link can ride boars, I doubt Wolf Link can.

Thanks for the info about horses.  Also, TP Link doesn't necessarily have to be a descendant of OoT Link.  Does it say anywhere in the games that every single Link is related to each other?  We know that Link is a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule in ALttP, but do we see any of the other Links a Knight of Hyrule?  Just as it is possible that every Link is related, it is possible that some are not.

The TP Epona can be a desedant of OoT Epona

Quite a ways to go, but certainly plausible.

What TP Epona? The horse still doesn't have a name! Stop calling it Epona!

And even though it's possible, chances are slim. Apart from certain bloodline rights, there's no reason to assume anyone is anyone else's descendant.

The horse could also be a descendant of any other you see at the ranch, or one of the horses of the Gerudo, or Ganondorf's horse, or Impa's horse or none of them at all; every one of them is just as possible.

Well, seeing as how people can name the horse, why not name it now?  Most people are going to stick with Epona.  Actually, we had a topic dealing with what people were going to name the horse a while back.  I should dig it up again.

Every Link has to be related to the Knights of Hyrule.

Yeah but, when does one qualify as a Knight Of Hyrule?
Title: Re:Wolf Link without Midna
Post by: Evilslayer on October 20, 2006, 04:43:46 AM
That's a good question. I think they'll need to be very honourable, selfless, and very courageous. I have a slight suspicion that they where inspired by the Knights of the Round Table. It's definitely not the only Arthurian inspiration in Zelda.

We were, but somehow we got off track. Turns out Midna cannot move freely in the world of light, so she stays as your shadow when you arent in the Twilight Realm. And yes, when you pull the master sword, you get the physical embodiment of the evil that made you a wolf. Harnessing it, you can transform at will! Its fun scaring people in castle town! :P

Midna said Link was actually lucky that he turned into a wolf and not a spirit like everyone else. But it kind of makes you wonder, why didn't Zelda turn into a wolf or a spirit?

Hmmm... Maybe because she has strong magic? So that she had enough magic power, to prevent her from transforming.

It was probably part of the deal she struck with Zant...and the triforce may have had to do with it as well. I was actually kind of disappointed with the scene where you first see her. Yeah graphics and dialogue were impressive, but I knew it was Zelda the second I got a glimpse through the hood at her face, so it wasn't that dramatic when she revealed her identity...
