Wolf Link is an alternate form of Link from the Legend of Zelda series. So far, this form’s only appearance is in the fairly underrated Zelda game, Twilight Princess. Link transforms into Wolf Link whenever he enters the Twilight Realm. According to one of the in-game characters, Links transformation into Wolf Link, sometimes also called his “beast form”, is curse that has been placed on link. It isn’t until Link receives the Master Sword that the curse on him is finally broken. However, Link can still transform into Wolf Link at will since the curse has been moved to a small rock that allows him to change if it touches him.

aMAXproduction's version
In M.U.G.E.N, Wolf Link was created by aMAXproduction in June of 2015 and uploaded via his own personal website, M.U.G.E.N. Maximum Power. Despite having Midna mount his back, like in Twilight Princess, Wolf Link goes solo in M.U.G.E.N. Wolf Link is an edit of the character Giro from Arashi no Yoru ni, which was created by The Great Matsutzu back in March of 2008. When Giro was transformed into Wolf Link, most of the main Giro sprites remain unchanged. Stuff that is changed is his name, character select portrait, and replacing the current Japanese speech with howls and sound effects pulled from Twilight Princess. Doing that meant that some of the coding for Wolf Link’s entrance and victory had to be extended out to look smoother. However, the biggest change that aMAXproduction has made, is the edits applied to the assist characters. With Giro, random brown and gray wolves would come out to attack the opponent, but with aMAXproduction’s edit, the wolves were all colored yellow and white, and were given red eyes. This was done to change them into the Golden Wolves. Link can encounter Golden Wolves multiple times throughout Twilight Princess in both his human and wolf forms. When encountered in wolf form, the Golden Wolves would jump to attack Wolf Link which transports him to high above Hyrule where they must howl a duet together. When encountered as human form, the Golden Wolves would jump to attack Link which then transports him to where he meets the Hero’s Spirit to earn a hidden skill.
