Sense
Sense is an ability in Twilight Princess.[1]
Overview
When Link transforms into Wolf Link, he gains the use of greatly enhanced Senses. This ability activates a special combination of enhanced visual and olfactory perception. While normal visual range is reduced, Link becomes able to detect things that would otherwise be invisible to him like Spirits and Scents.
Wolf Link's enhanced Senses have a number of vital applications throughout the game. The first use, taught by Midna while in the Castle Sewers,[1] is to detect the Spirit forms of the people of Hyrule trapped in the Twilight. Appearing as a floating greenish flame, these Spirits' true forms can be seen by activating the Senses, allowing Wolf Link to listen to their thoughts. While he is unable to communicate directly with Spirits, he is still able to gain useful information from them about recent events by doing this. Scent trails are similarly only visible when using Wolf Link's Senses.
Another function of the Sense ability is to detect special patches of ground found all over Hyrule. These appear as patches of sparkling light where Wolf Link can Dig, usually unearthing Items such as Rupees or Hearts. Some patches are larger and can lead to hidden Caves or different areas within Dungeons. Wolf Link must also use his Senses to see and defeat certain Enemies such as Ghoul Rats, Poes, and Death Sword.
Trivia
- The Sense ability is similar to the power of the Lens of Truth from previous titles, though it can be used indefinitely and does not consume any resources such as a Magic Meter.
