Link is an Ordon villager whose relationships with Ilia, the children and Epona establish the opening’s quiet life. Their disappearance draws him into the twilight crisis, where a transformation into a wolf brings him into partnership with Midna.

  • Story: The rescue thread expands into the struggle involving the Twilight Realm, Zelda and the forces controlling Hyrule. Midna’s changing goals make their partnership a central part of the journey.
  • In the game: Combine human equipment with wolf senses, scent tracking and contextual movement. Howling stones and the Hero’s Shade provide a separate combat-skill sequence.
