Twilight Princess Why a Wolf?

[ihateghirahim]

I don't know if this is Theory or not? Is there any particular reason Link's Twilight form is a wolf? Is it a reference?

As to why he actually becomes a wolf rather than some other creature, obviously Link in every game is a hero. We thought a wolf was what a hero might be in animal form. We kind of decided that wolves are creatures with a certain mysticism in all cultures and they're also very heroic type creatures as well. In that sense, we really felt that the wolf was best suited to an animal representation of the hero.

Wolves are loyal to their friends, fierce warriors, noble...etc. And I think it says somewhere that if you have a triforce piece, you turn into the animal that best represents you if you're in the twilight. Ganondorf's twilight form is a boar, but for some mysterious reason, Zelda doesnt have one...

Ironically, I actually wanted to make that sound like a Yoda quote, but I didn't think anyone would get it.

Because having a penguin save Hyrule is overrated.

I thought you were just randomly posting a picture of half naked guys, now I see xD

Anyway I guess the real question is why not choose a wolf, I couldn't imagine Link being a horse/cat/zebra/giraffe/turtle... Well you get the point, the wolf perfectly reflects Link in my opinion.
