New sense in TP

If you watch the trailers with the ghosts, you see a yellow stream comming from one dorway in the background, could wolf link have the ability to "see" smells and sniff out new things?

go down and watch to see the scene. (it's in the music video)

I'm assuming that is just the Lens of Truth, seen in OOT. It wouldn't make much sense if Wolf Link could do that. The Lens of Truth on the otherhand, seems logical.

maybe on some speciall places. I think it smells like dead-corpse there with all the ghosts and the ghost rats. It might stink in there!

I don't think it is the Lens of Truth. I am pretty sure it is the Wolf's sense. I mean, remember the 3rd trailer where all the ghost rats are on Wolf Link. How can Wolf Link use a lens of truth? He can't. It is just one of the wolf's abilities.

Ohhhhh, I'm sorry I'm thinking of the wrong scene. I'm thinking about when it is in first-person and he sees all the zombies. My fault. Yes, I'm sure this is some sort of sense that Wolf Link has. If not, certain creatures simply have the ability to be invisible at certain points of time.

i think he meant that the wolf'
s powers were like a substitute or similarity to the lens of truth...since wolves have such spectacular senses and "powers", I can imagine that these stenches or odours may play a keen role in TP, especially with teh wolf Link idea

No. You are right about which scene I was thinking of. I just used the rat scene as an example. I am pretty sure that the Wolf Link can see in first person like the regular Link. Plus, the ghosts of the rats and the soldiers both seem very similiar. I think the wolf can detect the dead. I don't think a Lens of Truth is needed in Twilight Princess.

now i messed up...haha...sorry for correcting you. you were right.

wait a moment..that sort of ability seems like one you have to activate...I recall seeing a scene of the place... then a bright flash, then a another scene that showed the ghosts. A wolf's sense of smell isn't a turn-off and on thing...not that i know of...

Yeah, it does seem that way. In the second trailer at 48 seconds you don't see the yellow streak/scent but when the screen flashes and the 'enemies' are visible the yellow scent becomes visible too...

Something else I've been thinking about is the wolf's Hearing abilities! Just think of how different sounds will be perceived as you're walking through..padding through a dungeon or forest...you could hear distant clanks and echos bouncing off the walls or trees..and voices or other noises only a 'dog' would hear, all enhanced far more than that of a humans...

No Zora, the whole screen fashes not just the enemies. I just watched it. it is definitely the wolf sense.

STOP, all of you stop!

In the scene with Midna on your back when the ghosts show up, (and I've seen the trailer enough to remember) Midna seems surprised by the ghosts as well. If anything, I say the ghosts can "choose" to be visible.

Proof that it is not the Lens of Truth that Link uses to see the ghosts in the sewer:


This is the image that most believe the Lens of Truth is used. The fact is, it isn't. It is a first person screen shot of what Wolf Link sees. The sewer is in the Twilight Realm. Don't believe me? Check this screen out.

Same sewer, same ghosts. The only thing new in this screen is that it shows Midna, Wolf Link, and some ghost rats, but it is in the same sewer and it has the same ghosts. I doubt Wold Link is using a Lens of Truth because he doesn't have hands to hold it. It is something else, which I am guessing to be one of Wolf Link's senses.

try not to double post Data. Yeah, the thought of Wolf Link having other abilities never occured to me...Hmm, this sounds pretty likely and those screens make sense with your theory. But if I remember correctly, the screen pans across and then flashes, showing the ghosts and yellow streak so it may very well be a cut scene showing how somesort of lens or truth alteration works and the yellow streak is just there to add to the atmosphere. Plus, Midna could always be using the lens...
