The Legend of Zelda Theories

Part Two: Hero's Shade

Well, it's officially the last day of school for me! Whoop! (oh, wow, that was on June 7, and now it's June 27...I took way too long to write this...really, it only took me two daya, but I skipped 20 days to write...whoops...)

Well since NO ONE TOLD ME WHAT THEORY THEY WANTED ME TO TALK ABOUT NEXT (and how much time did I give yall to do this?) I picked one. But seriously, from now on, I want votes for the next theory. I'm trying to make this more reader oriented and fun. So, interact with me! Lol, thanks. Sorry if I scared you...

Anyway, now on to the theory!

The Hero's Shade

Now, if you have never played Twilight Princess, then go to the store and buy it. No, seriously. And get the GameCube version if possible (cause that one is obviously better). Anyway, there is a character in the game called the Hero's Shade. He's basically a ghostly skeleton in armor and he teaches Link cool sword techniques. I believe there are seven of them.

Now, hopefully it's no secret that he's Link from Ocarina of Time. And if you didn't know that and didn't want to know, I did warn you of spoilers, so don't blame me. But, yeah. It's not supposed to be a secret anymore. Nintendo told us so. Wait...so that would make it a secret to everyone! Haha, see what I did there? No? Okay...anyway....

It's not necessarily about the Hero's Shade, but more like how OoT Link became him. A TON of people say he looks like a skeleton because he got lost in the Lost Woods and became a skull kid, but if you think about it, that doesn't make sense.

First off, if I'm correct, that only happens to Kokiri children, as it was said in-game. That guy that died in the Lost Woods, I don't think he became one of those (but memory couldv'e told me wrong, for it's been a long time since I've played through that part of OoT). Remember going back to him to continue that trade quest and he was gone? The Kokiri girl said either he left or dissapeared (again, memory couldv'e told me wrong. If I am wrong, then just completely ignore this paragraph). Link is a Hylian. It really bothers me when people call him a Kokiri. It really does.

Second off, I've never seen a (what are those things called....the full grown skeletons...skull something.....ugh i forgot and I'm too lazy to look it up. I'll remember in a bit, probably) big skeleton person in the lost woods. I've only seen skull kids. So Link could have not turned into a skeleton because of the lost woods.

So, if I don't think that's the reason, then what do I think?

Well, based on the way he looks, I'd say that he became a knight at the castle and died somehow and was buried in his armor, and since he had regrets and couldn't pass on and ended up as a ghost, he looks like a skeleton (because every ghost in that game looks like a skeleton anyway, excluding the poes and rats). See, doesn't that make much more sense? Eeeeeexactly.

Yeah, that's all I have for now. So, PLEASE pick a theory from below that you want me to do next! And tell me what kind of theories you have for the hero's shade. Also, if you have a theory not listed here and you want me to cover it, let me know! I mean, this is supposed to be reader oriented, so it's up to yall reading this.

Anyway, pick!

-The Stone Tower Temple (is that what it's called? It's the last dungeon in MM)

-I could do the argument of whether Sheik is a guy or a girl. (*coughguycough*)

-Majora's Mask's origins

Yep. So, until next time, ¡adios!
