Title: Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?

Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world? The dark world reveals your true nature...

Because he's pure of heart. That's what I believe.

Of course. The shape you take depends on your personality, soul, etc. If you're good, it's reflected in the Dark World.

What Evilslayer and Whocares said.  And also I think the SNES's graphics, while still superior, couldn't show Link as a wolf like in TP.

And Link makes such a cute bunny!  If I ever get a pink rabbit, I'm naming it Link! ;)

I would think that Link would be a lion or something brave, not a bunny.... ???

Yeah, Link could've been a lion; maybe he could have faced some enemies that way.  But in some Dark World dungeons, a flashing thing can change Link back to a bunny for a little while, and then that would defeat the purpose of leaving Link defenseless while he's in his Dark World form.  Perhaps bunnies are brave; "Courage does not always roar like a lion.  Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day that says, 'I will try again tomorrow.'"--Peter Sheridan.

The Twilight Realm might show those same features.

Yes, but that means it's a different Link. The LTTP Link was a bunny, the TP Link is a wolf.

Exactly. One problem's solved, I think.

Maybe he's a bunny cause he's so kind and friendly. I mean, bunnies look friendly and kind, right?
Maybe the link in TP is a wolf cause hes tougher than the one from ALTTP...i dont know...

Post by: MagmarFire on June 06, 2006, 09:15:33 PM
Well, you can't expect to have every single Link have the SAME personality, can you? Unless it were an intentional cause by the Goddesses or other, it would be a pretty slim chance for that to be coincidental.

It's kinda funny that Hyrule's savior is a bunny.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 07, 2006, 03:16:49 PM
No, it's funny that I ate Hyrule's savior. ;D

Hey, it's not my fault I got the Moon Pearl first.  Okay, maybe it is. ;D

Now the running guy will be happy.He's obsessed with bunnies.

Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 08, 2006, 06:39:04 AM
Not really.  The bunny ear's helped keep him cool. ;D

Nothing wrong with a bunny saving Hyrule.  Unless it was Little Bunny Foo-Foo. ;D

No little bunny foo-foo! >:( :D
but i guess if a bunny is what he becomes, a bunny he shall be
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 08, 2006, 06:54:20 AM
Also, it's not like he's a bunny forever.  He does get the Moon Pearl and is able to be in his Hylian form.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: MasterKeyX on June 08, 2006, 01:51:52 PM
True, if he didnt get the pearl he would die cause then you would have no way of attacking
At least getting the Moon Pearl was easy

Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 09, 2006, 02:00:07 PM
Bunny Link can't die.  You can't visit all of Death Mountain in the Dark World as a bunny, and the half you can explore lacks enemies.

Post by: MasterKeyX on June 09, 2006, 07:16:36 PM
Ohh true that...i forgot! But the whole bunny thingwas a little weird, personally i would have made Link a wolf or a dog or something,not a bunny
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 09, 2006, 08:05:44 PM
I would have made Link a gerbil just to be different. ;D

I'd make him a giraffe so he could stand out. Get it?
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?

I would make him an Abdominable Sonwman...or a chimpanzee ;D

I think Link may have had a timid nature in LttP.  So that may have some affect.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: MasterKeyX on June 10, 2006, 07:21:27 PM
Gamefreak may have a point, he look more hyper and active in Twilight Princess than AlttP...maybe your activity and peronality are reflected by an animal....?

Are you sure about that? In certain places, there are magic auras that follow Link around, and when he touches them, the Moon Pearl looses its effect, so I believe Link can be harmed by enemies in this state. Therefore, I think that would be a counterexample to your statement.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: MasterKeyX on June 11, 2006, 07:52:49 AM
the magic auras dont harm you, they just (in a way) stun you. THEN you can be hurt by others.

I was talking about when you first came to the Dark World.  And I never died as Bunny Link.  If you dodge the monsters in the Bunny Link state, you should be okay.

Sprinkle magic powder on the auras before they touch you.  You get a faerie. :)

He probably used the method of trial and error and found that trick. You're a genius, Hi no Seijin! ;D

Doesn't Link turn back to normal after taking one hit though?  The only way to die would be to have low health.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: MasterKeyX on June 18, 2006, 06:40:33 AM
No, he stays a bunny until you die. he does however, transform back only when hes transformed by one of those moving things that comeout from under pota and stuff.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 18, 2006, 11:20:36 AM
When Link is turned into a bunny by one of those flashing things, he turns back to normal after a while.  You don't have to die first.

Lets face it , links never been a "hollywood" hero, all explosions and witty one liners. e's a pretty timid fellow and generally quite young to boot. Not really surprised he was a bunny.
In TP he's got older and more edgy and broody.. thus hes a wolf.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: MasterKeyX on June 22, 2006, 01:21:49 PM
that does make sense...id rather be a wolf though. ;D
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: Gamefreak on June 24, 2006, 05:08:16 PM
It's basically what I said a page ago.  I said that Link's timid nature probably led to the form of a bunny.
Title: Re:Why is Link a bunny when you first go to the dark world?
Post by: MasterKeyX on June 24, 2006, 08:28:23 PM
yes, i agree.
Conclusion: Personality is reflected by an animal in the Dark World.

Post by: koopaling14 on July 13, 2006, 11:56:49 AM
It doesn't have to be an animal.  There's some guy who keeps changing his mind and he turned into a ball.  Some people, I can't see what animal they turned into!  Link got to stay in his Hylian form after that because he got the Moon Pearl.
