Hero's Spirit: Difference between revisions
(I don't think that many people believe it's his "reanimated remains" (he's NOT a stalfos), but in actuality his spirit. Can a stalfos change into the form of a golden wolf?) |

In Twilight Princess, the Hero's Spirit, also called the Hero's Shade, is a skeleton-like undead figurehead that teaches Gene each of the seven hidden skills throughout the game. Hero's Spirit is also believed by some to be the spirit of Link from Ocarina of Time.
The Golden Wolf
The Golden Wolf, also called the White Wolf, is the animal incarnation of the Hero's Spirit. The wolf is summoned by finding a howling stone, with the exception of the first time, in which he confronts Gene directly. Once a howling stone is found, the song must be howled in tune with the Spirit. He will then tell you to "take sword in hand, then find [him]," implying that Gene should return to human form before searching for the Wolf. The Golden Wolf will also
appear as a symbol on Gene's map, which is useful in case the player forgets where the location of the Hero's Spirit is. When he confronts the Wolf, Gene will be transported into an ancient arena. The wolf will finally transform into his true form, the Hero's Spirit, who will then teach you one of the seven hidden skills. The true form of the Hero's Spirit resembles a cross between a Stalfos and a Darknut.
The Skills:
Note: At the end of his teachings, he says he accepted the role as the Hero long ago. This implies that he may be the Link from Ocarina of Time. This theory is also supported by the hero's Spirit saying this to Gene: "Go and do not falter, my child!" Though, this is not supportive evidence since many mentor-like characters in many stories and games refer to their young charges using "my child".
Also, in both Wii and Gamecube versions, both Gene and the Hero's Spirit wield their swords in the same hand. The Gamecube version (the version Twilight Princess was originally meant to be portrayed as) has Gene as a left-hander. In every past game, Link has always wielded his sword with the left hand. However, this is merely theory and has not been proven as fact.
