The '''Hero's Spirit''', also known as the Hero's Shade, is a character from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' who teaches [[Link]] the seven [[Hidden Skills]]. The Hero's Shade is very skilled with a [[Sword]], and he is missing one eye. He appears to be similar to a [[Stalfos]] in appearance.

The Hero's Shade is the spirit of an ancient warrior who once saved the land of [[Hyrule]]. He wishes to pass on his skills to Link, a member of his bloodline. He has the ability to turn in to a [[Golden Wolf]], similar to how Link turns into a wolf in the [[Twilight]]. He is first seen in this form outside of the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]]. After their first encounter, Link can meet him by howling at a [[Howling Stone]], where they howl a duet in wolf form. A symbol then appears on Link's map where he can find the golden wolf. When encountering the wolf, the beast initially attacks the young hero, which in turn warps him to a strange, foggy dimension with a faint outline of a castle in the background. The shade then appears in his true form and teaches Link one of the seven Hidden Skills.  

*[[Fado (Ocarina of Time)|Fado]], a [[Kokiri]] who can be found in the [[Lost Woods]], mentions that adults who remain in the forest for too long become [[Stalfos]] and children become [[Skull Kid|Skull Kids]]. It is probable that the Hero of Time became lost in the Lost Woods and emerged as a Stalfos.
