Hero's Spirit: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

#At the end of his teachings, the Hero's Spirit said that he accepted the role as the hero long ago. This implies that he may be an earlier ancestor of [[Link]]. This theory is also supported by the Hero's Spirit saying the following to Link: "Go and do not falter, ''my child''!" Though this in itself is not conclusive evidence, since many mentor-like characters in several stories refer to their young charges using the phrase "my child," it does serve to leave open the possibility of Link being his actual blood descendant.

#Further more, evidence of the Hero's Spirit being an ancestor of Link is given just prior to learning the Mortal Draw. The Hero's Spirit said that the skills he taught Link were forgotten ways that "do not leave our bloodline"<ref>{{cite|At last, the skills I have to teach you have entered the realm of true secrecy. They are forgotten ways that do not leave our bloodline.|Hero's Spirit|Twilight Princess}}</ref>. He implicitly used the word "our" instead of "my". This clearly indicates that [[Link]] and the Hero's Spirit are indeed related in some way.

#The Hero's Spirit was once one of the many great heroes of [[Hyrule]]<ref>{{Cite|Although I accepted life as the hero, I could not convey the lessons of that life to those that came after. At last, I have eased my regrets.|Hero's Spirit|Twilight Princess}}</ref>. It is still not known if his name was once Link as well, or perhaps even is the same man who became the Hero of Time. However, one thing that supports he may be the Hero of Time is that most of the songs used to summon the Golden Wolf are from ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'', but why the [[Ballad of Gales]] is included is unknown (possibly because the Hero of Winds, who is revealed to be the Hero of Time reincarnated near the end of ''The Wind Waker'', learned this song amongst others in the other branch of Hyrule's history. However, The Wind Waker and [[Twilight Princess]] do not reside on the same timeline, therefore rendering this argument invalid.)

#Lastly, in both [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]] and [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] versions of ''[[Twilight Princess]]'', Link and the Hero's Spirit both wield their swords in the same hand. The GameCube version (the version in which the game world was originally meant to be portrayed) shows Link to be left-handed. In every past game of the ''Zelda'' series, Link's sword-hand has always been his left one,[http://wii.ign.com/articles/733/733762p1.html] whereas there's been no other left-handed person to date in a ''Zelda'' game except in the Wii version of ''Twilight Princess''.
