Ha ha. What now, Nash!

This is so funny to read now we know

Okay, someone please close this thread. It doesn't serve any point, and whoever bumped it shouldn't have.

I still don't think that you transform into the wolf for one main reason. Legend of Zelda '05 supposedly revolves heavily around horse combat. Therefore, what would be the point of transforming into a wolf? The horse already supplies Link with faster transportation. However, many people do believe that you will be able to morph into the wolf in the game.

Anyways, to get back to the topic at hand, what are your thoughts on this whole "Wolf/Lens of Truth debate?

I dont think it's the lens of truth i think it's the wolfs six sence that makes
him se the dead, like that movie six sence or whats it called that boy who
"can se ded people"

Sorry for bumping it up, but this thread still does have some use. Will there be a lense of truth or will link use wolf abilitys. Plus everyone yells at you if you make any sort of thread similar to another.

very true indeed. i believe that the wolf might have some sort of magic meter that he can use in order to track ghosts or enemies like radar. supposedly there is this charge attack where wolf link can attack multiple enemies at once. this brings up another issue... magic meters?

I hope the wolves attacks do not take magic.....Mabey that was a sent trail....and sith sense sounds cool!

First of all, why would someone drag up this poor thread from its grave? It was resting peacefully until you came along. LOL, just kidding.

Okay, let's see here... I came up with an interesting theory concerning how this "charge" attack, as Viscen put it, might work. The ring, that may well be a targetting reticule of some sort, appears to determine the striking range. As the ring expands to touch the Ing-like creatures, Midna's floormaster flings out a sort of gooey red substance that latches to their faces. When this happens the creatures flinch very briefly, then Wolf-Link lanches through their gullets. My theory is that one must keep a certain button held to expand the ring--probably B, seeing as how that is usually the "attack" button. Anyhow, there is probably some detriment to expanding the ring too far--otherwise, defeating enemies would be a breeze. Juding by the way the attack looks, I'd guess that you can only target a maximum of 5 enemies, give or take a few. This is just a theory based on previous targetting systems (i.e., the boomerang), so don't expect this to be the case. It's just my educated guess.

Now for a more off-topic sort of comment. Hey Viscen, can you tell me whether your screenname is an actual name? I don't think it is, because I looked it up in a name dictionary and it didn't exist. A character of mine is named Viscen, and I'd like to know whether or not I have a leak in my "company". It's not really a company, but hey, it's an organization. ...If an idle one. It seems that, every time I come up with something original, my idea has already been used in something that came before me. My ideas for attacks called Ultima and Supernova were already used and copyrighted, dammit, by SquareSoft. ...Excuse me, Square-Enix. Several of my original characters' names apper to have already been used before, too. It may seem like coincidence, but I have the feeling that someone is traversing the spacetime continuum to steal my ideas, and I'm trying to catch him off guard.

Sorry if I'm butting in here...Viscen is the name of the Captain of the Guard of Clocktown in Majora's Mask. I had the character in my fanfic, so it kind of leapt out at me.

Apologies if I'm butting in!

Ah, I'd forgotten about that... I seem to remember hearing the name on an old movie called "Black Hole". If you haven't seen it, I would suggest doing so. It's not bad for one of those old sci-fi flicks.

Why is this thread not locked?

Hah ha, this thread's funny when you read it now. Of course he turns into a wolf. Quite cool he looks, too.

Personally I think it's a scent trail.

I liked reading it for some reason. Plus, the actual topic in the original post is still relevent. People are still treating this thread like a "OMG, does Link transform into a wolf?" thread, which it wasn't at first. That's probably why it wasn't locked.
EDIT: We DO know that the area in the sewers can be accessed by the wolf, so that does kinda tip the scales toward the scent trail. But what I said above is still relevent.

yeah, link transforms into a wolf when he enetrs into the 'dark zone'. He isn't necessarily a lycanthrope, it is probably just the effect the dark zone has upon him, like the dark world in ALTTP. But transformation IS a major gameplay element... every time link enters into the dark zone he transforms and Midna appears on his back... it is also unsure for sure what Midna's objectives are...good or evil, but she DOES help you out of the cell...I think there is going to be a twist :p

Yeah well in the demo the lense of truth was not shown, but the shadow like temples do tend to be in the later levels of Zelda.

There'd better be a plot twist, or I'm gonna be pissed. An evil character joins the side of good with unknown intentions. This is the perfect opportunity for a plot twist, and Nintendo better make damn good use of it!

Yeah but I hope it is a non obvious twist.

The lens of truth will probably be for Hyrule and the wolfs senses,(if it works like that) will be for the twilight relm...I think.

I think that the wolf has ruined the game although it is cool being a wolf!

Well, in some ways the ability of turning into a wolf will stop you from using other abilites more offten when you are human, I dont think it really ruined it, you will like it, trust me.
Anyways, also the lens of truth may not be in the game, it hasnt been in a zelda game for a while so I dont really think you will need the wolf senses much.
