You probably remember Wolf Link, also known as W. Link, from The Legend of Zelda series, but he has also made appearances in Animal Crossing. It is a different form of Link and players love the crossover between these franchises. He gave the game a certain spark and fans are still obsessed with him to this day.
He has his own personality and background, which make him different from any other villager. There are a few things fans should know about Wolf Link in Animal Crossing, and you might be surprised by what you learn.
10 He Was Introduced In The Welcome Amiibo Update
The Welcome Amiibo Update gave players in Animal Crossing: New Leaf a different set of characters to enjoy. It allowed you to add amiibo figures to the game by summoning the Wisp.
These figures usually cost anywhere from $9 to $16 at the store, depending upon their popularity and how new they are to the lineup.
9 You Could Invite Him To Live In Your Town
Wolf Link can be invited to live in your town for good so you can catch fish together forever, but you might need to talk to him a few times. This means that you can experience the joys of this Zelda-inspired character for years, as Link takes on his divine wolf form in your town.
Those who are fans of the franchise should also look into acquiring the amiibo figures for Epona, Medli, and Ganon for the whole Zelda package.
8 The Day 'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess' Released In Japan Is His Birthday
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the game in which this character made his grand debut. This is why its release date of December 2, is also the same day players will celebrate Wolf Link's birthday in Animal Crossing.
It will be complete with cake, balloons, and presents and make sure to attend to give him the celebration he deserves.
7 He Has A Chain Around His Left Paw
W. Link has a moss-green color scheme with blue eyes, but that's not the most interesting feature about him. He has a chain around his left paw, and its meaning is related to The Legend of Zelda Franchise.
Link was chained up in Hyrule Castle and Midna broke the chain but didn't remove all of it. It is the small details such as this that make him a villager that players desire to have in their towns.
6 He Is A Smug Villager
This villager has a smug personality, which means he is pretty easygoing as he gets along with almost every other villager. He might talk about himself sometimes and go on about how great he is, but other than that Wolf Link is a great addition to any town.
The only villager he doesn't always take kindly to is someone who identifies as cranky, as they fail to reel in their displeasure of his bragging nature.
5 The Home He Lives In Reminds Players Of A Prison
If you have played The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, then you remember the time when Wolf Link was trapped in a jail. His home resembles that time of his life as it is filled with gray stone and a cell-like divider, and his yard also doesn't compare to those in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
He has The Legend of Zelda memorabilia in his home, like the Hyrulean Treasure and the Master Sword, as decorative items.
4 He Has An RV With Link And Zelda On It
This villager starts off as an RV character, which means he would come to Animal Crossing: New Leaf with items to sell. His ride has both Link and Zelda on the outside, as well as other symbols and art related to the franchise.
Once you are inside you can buy a number of items from him like a Hyrule Wall, Princess Zelda Dress, and Hylian Shield. The items could be bought using MEOW Coupons which could be earned by completing town initiatives or earning other achievements.
3 He Dreams Of Becoming A Real Boy
Link was turned into a wolf because of the Twilight, and his goal was to become a real boy once again. W. Link in Animal Crossing: New Leaf had the same dream as he hoped one day he would be able to turn back into his original form.
His wolf form is pretty cool, but it does leave fans wondering what his Link form might look like in Animal Crossing.
2 His Favorite Song Is K.K. Western
K.K. Western is Wolf Link's favorite song to listen to, and it is no wonder as it starts off with a howl that makes it even catchier than some of the best custom town tunes. It then dives into a whistle with vibes that any country fan could jam along with.
If you want to give Wolf Link the ability to listen to this song in his home, then you should consider gifting him a stereo to let him listen in his spare time.
1 Currently, He Is Not In 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons'
This villager is not currently part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, although some fans thought he was coming soon with a screenshot released by Nintendo. However, they addressed the rumors and claimed that he was not coming to the game, but fans are still holding onto their hopes and dreams.
Some players have created mods that put him into the game, although, some believe he might make an appearance after the 35th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda commences.
