The Faux Hero is a character in Tri Force Heroes.[2]

Biography

The Faux Hero is a young boy dressed in green who can be found in front of Hytopia Castle. He wishes to get inside the castle and insists that he is Hytopia's true hero,[3] but is not allowed in as his appearance does not fit King Tuft's specifications,[4] likely because he has round ears.[1] He reacts with shock and confusion when Link is allowed inside.[5][6]

Although the Faux Hero is never allowed inside the castle, he boasts that he is very popular and has 15 Friendly Tokens to prove it.[7][8] He challenges Link to a "Chum Challenge" and will give Link one of his Friendly Tokens for every hero he has played with over Local Multiplayer or Download Play.[9] If Link manages to obtain all 15 of his Friendly Tokens, the Faux Hero will react with disbelief before admitting that he has learned from the experience,[10] referring to Link henceforth as his "Numero Uno Chum".[11]

Trivia

  • The colors of the Faux Hero's hair and clothing greatly resemble Link's from A Link to the Past.
  • Although Link can purchase Friendly Tokens from the Street Merchant following the Ver. 2.0.0 update, the Faux Hero will not acknowledge Link's possession of them when spoken to.
