Talk:Hero's Spirit

Non-Mirrored Images?
These images are of Wii version Twilight Princess...shouldn't we get some from the GameCube version considering that Link is not actually right-handed, but left-handed?67.160.13.15 03:01, 20 April 2007 (PDT)

I kind of have to agree with this statement. --PrincessZelda TP 20:50, 27 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, I believe it should at least be noted that the images were taken from the Wii game. --Mockingbird 21:11, 27 September 2007 (EDT)


 * I've flipped the images horizontally for the sake of accuracy :) (Except now they don't display because of the thumbnail error...) --Adam 13:43, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

Reason for undoing recent edit
So a new edit changed the phrase "some believe the Hero's Spirit to be Link from OoT" to "some believe the Hero's Spirit to be a Great Darknut". Now, I've never heard that theory, ever. But I HAVE heard of (and subscribe to) the Hero of Time theory. Maybe the phrase would be better changed to "some believe him to be the Hero of Time, or even a Great Darknut"? --Ando 02:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think that will be necessary. That "Great Darknut" thing seemed to come out of the blue from nowhere, and besides, that was the only edit on this wiki by the user who added this.  I say we ignore it. Pel&#39;marn Dakari 11:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Another Theory
It could also be links uncle from the The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past because he is the only knnown relation to link who wore armour and there for would keep in with the fact that he says "My Child" to Link although A Link To The Past possibly happened after Twighlight Princess.Garadex 19:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

It's kind of obvious that he was a Link. The Hero's Spirit might as well said, "I am the Link of Ocarina of Time's Spirit, quote me on this." Besides, look at him, he's wearing a tunic and white tights. :P -The Keeper of Majora's Mask

Hey WAIT!
I remember Miyamoto saying that Twilight Princess is more than anything a spiritual sequel to Ocarina ... What other way to show it then having Link in TP be so similar to OoT right.

Both of them are shown as wolves....see what I'm gettin' at here. Could that be a Spiritual connection between the two?--Remo 21:38, August 11, 2008 (UTC)


 * Are you saying that the Link in OoT is the Hero's Spirit of TP? I'd like to believe that. 21:47, August 11, 2008 (UTC)


 * I thought that it was fairly obvious, actually. Too many things say "this is the Hero of Time" or at least "this is also a Link". What makes you say nay, Matt? 21:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Nay? I said I do believe it. The signs are obvious. 22:04, August 11, 2008 (UTC)

Well... "I'd like to believe that" typically means "Well, that'd be nice, but it's just not possible". Hence my confusion. 22:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd like to believe it, but it isn't possible to prove it . 22:19, August 11, 2008 (UTC)

Hence the I "Think" ...but im just saying its widley accepted like everything else in zelda is (since almost nothin can be proved thanks to Miyamoto) so I just would like to point that fact out.....no need to get defensive on an un-winnable argument...either of u.

Anyways my main point was that it was just one of the connections.(that I see)--Remo 05:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Master Sword
I'm looking at the image on the page right now, and the blade guard of the Hero's Spirit's sword looks absolutely nothing like that of the Master Sword, and the Master Sword's guard is one of its most distinguishing and recognizable features. I also find it interesting that the Magical Sword article says that sword looks similar to the Hero's Spirit's, which, although it definitely isn't a perfect match (so little so that I would disagree they look like the same sword), it does seem like a better match than the Master Sword, although I really think the Hero's Spirit's sword is its own sword.

Another theory that makes a lot of sense
A member posted this in a topic in TP and it actually makes sense. He basically says this:

''Also, about the songs. Okay, OoT/MM-Link knew all of them, or at least most of them, that much is true. But so what? Note that the Hero's shade does NOT teach Link the songs. On the contrary. Link as a wolf howls them first, and the golden wolf responds to these howles. Quite the other way around, isn't it? I look at it more like a wolf-kinda conversation. Link calls for someone to help him, and the Hero's shade responds. ''And even if the shade knew all those songs, that doesn't prove anything. Because then, there must be other people out there knowing them as well - unless you are claiming that it was the Hero's shade who ran through Hyrule and drilled holes into the gossip stones to make them play the right tunes. I don't think so.

''Another thing. The Hero's shade seems to have failed with his mission, whatever it was. The Hero of Time did not, if I reckon correctly. Didn't Link in Ocarina of Time defeat Ganon? And save Termina in Majora's Mask? I don't see how he would have failed his mission then. And I also can't imagine what must have happened to Link to change his old tunics for some heavy armory and lose an eye, after fighting Ganondorf and the moon. It must have been something even more terrible...

''The Hero's shade was the one who should have stopped Ganondorf before he was banished to the Twilight Realm. If he had succeeded and banned/killed Ganondorf or whatever, the Sages would not have had to interfere and risk the life of one of them. But for some strange reason, that Hero did not accomplish his mission - he failed and died.''

I think this makes a lot of sense, so I was thinking of adding it to the theory section, but I wanted to get you guys' input first. The Hero's Shade DOES say that he took on the role of the hero long ago. Also, the techniques that he teaches to Link were NOT known by a previous Link, which means that these techniques were "made" by another warrior. Other thoughts on this?
