Hmm...Dark Link? No, it doesn't really look like him, he usually dresses like Link, but I won't rule out the idea right now. I wouldn't be surprised though if it was some part of Link's soul, as it has Link on the night side picture and the cloaked person on the day side, representing the original concept of Yin and Yang, good and evil not being totally seperated. Maybe this figure turns out to be the Navi/Sheik/KORL of the game, guiding Link and hiding a deep secret. Like Link meets him in times of need like in puzzles, and he dissapears just like that, and in the end, it turns out that he's Link's inner darkness and was manipulating Link's role, and is really inside Link's mind like Dark Chii was in Chobits, and they fight within Link's mind! o.o And like, maybe Link could have the Master Sword later on, but can't get it to work, and it turns out it's because he isn't pure enough so he has to beat his dark side ^^ EEE! My novelist side is tingling.

I think it'd be cool if the guy in the cloak turned out to be the Sheikah version of Link. After all, the Sheikah are the shadows of the Hylians, right? Maybe he's trying to help Link in his quest...or trying to destroy Link.

All I've got to say is, I really hope this shadow guy is a Sheikah of some sort.

I'm so lost. What's with this werewolf stuff?

Anyway...



As TSA's pointed out already, the pattern doesn't match Ganondorf's in TWW. But I think it's pretty Ganon-esque. Although, I don't recall Ganon's horns (if that is a horn) going in that direction (although in most of the games he doesn't even have horns).

Could be a Sheikah. It has the symbol and it's pretty Shadow Folkish looking.

Looks like Link's carrying quite a heavy blade there. I'm intrigued by the back view (well...side in this case) of Zelda' hair. I think it's how it was in FSA.

[mohammedali]

I had a crazy thought. Maybe Sheikh is actually Link. If you look at the BG, you will notice that there is a split between the 2 characters, sort of like the light world and dark world/SR. Maybe when Link goes to the Dark World, he uses a sheikh disquise or something. I dunno. Just plucking at straws at the moment.

Oh, and Sheikh will most likely have the ability to turn into a wolf in this game. I'm pretty sure as Miyamoto seems to be giving the hints.

I leave for a long time and end up trying to figure out what the Heck you people are talking about.

Goodness sake, people. Maybe that "Sheikah" owns the wolf as some kind of pet. Heck! Maybe it's not a wolf, just some wolf-like dog!

[SwordBreaker]

It would be so cool if that cloaked Sheikiah is actually a 'double agent' of some sort...filling in Ganon with the latest info on the Shiekiah clan and whatnot.

But then again...that would be kinda ripping off from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

What if he starts as a good guy then switches sides? lol

It doesn't really look like a horn though. It looks more like a ruffle in his/her cloak.

[Wolf O'Donnell]

I've just taken a look at the original image that doesn't have the red markings.

I can understand how Triforce89 thought it was a horn, becaues it doesn't actually look like a ruffle. It sticks out beyond the cloak slightly, suggesting that it isn't a part of the cloak.

If it weren't for the fact that it goes over the hood slightly, I would have said it was just a black earring, coz it's about the right height to be a big ass black earring. That kinda suggests that the wearer is perhaps a female.

[SOAP]

If it's a woman, I want her to have black hair. I mean, Ring Girl black. There's not enough raven beauties in Zelda.

[mohammedali]

Maybe this shows Ags' origin? Anyone? lol. just thought I'd provide another random idea.

Mohammed Ali

[coinilius]

If we're being random... maybe the cloaked figure is the wizard from the AoL backstory

[SwordBreaker]

lol I actually like that idea! How cool would it be for the next Zelda to have an AoL reference or a couple of references?

[mohammedali]

I always hoped there was a link between Ags and AoL wizard as that would cerment Sleeping Zelda after aLttP, but as there isn't, it leads me to belive that Sleeping Zelda is at the start of the timeline. Anyway, back on topic, Saria as a crazy woman wizard wins my vote.

I actually don't see why people are concerned with that. To me the bigger question is...DO WE GET TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO OOT CHILD LINK?!

I hope so. IS this a continuation of Oot? Is there ANYTHING that says this is definitely a sequel to WW? *sigh*

But, I'll bite. The cloaked figure, as many have said, could be some Sheikah. That being said, if this is OoT, this could very well be the Sheikah guardian of Link. If WW, the figure most resembles...no one. Entirely new character, *points* right there. But I'm geting bad vibes if this doesn't involve Ganon...that should be a crime for the 3D titles...

[Zythe]

^ A recent interview said Ganon's in it.

I agree. That is the more pertinant question, but as we can't begin to answer that, looking at this shady sheikh is a good filler for conversation until we can.

I hope so. IS this a continuation of Oot? Is there ANYTHING that says this is definitely a sequel to WW? *sigh*

It seems to be a continuation of OoT given the character designs, but obviously no one knows for sure. As for it being a sequal to WW. There was a quote saying it is chronologically after it, but that has been replaced by 'we haven't decided'. This is similar to what happened with WW which was said to be a prequal to all games until it was later revealed as being a sequal to Adult Links 'ending'.

But, I'll bite. The cloaked figure, as many have said, could be some Sheikah. That being said, if this is OoT, this could very well be the Sheikah guardian of Link. If WW, the figure most resembles...no one. Entirely new character, *points* right there. But I'm geting bad vibes if this doesn't involve Ganon...that should be a crime for the 3D titles...

It is stated to envolve Ganon already. No pictures of him so far though. Guess we have to wait a while.

Okay, we have Hyrule being gone forever in TWW, ALttP Link's still drifting on a piece of wood God knows where after LA, and two Zelda's existing at the same time at the end of AoL. There are bigger plot holes to worry about than what happened to OoT Link.

[Tekky]

MJ has got a good point there... It would be nice for Nintendo to start cementing in some plot holes, especially given the mess the timeline is in at the moment... (I have currently given up on timelines, too complicated now... How I miss the days of OoT-MM-LttP-Oracles-LA-LoZ-AoL... )

[SOAP]

Actually I miss the days when it was OoT-MM | ALttP-LA | LoZ-AoL. There were only two theories back then. Either there was one Link or Three. That was it. Times were simpler back then. Ah, those were the days. Things started getting whonky ever since OoX and the timeline has never been the same thanks to TWW.

And the one Link "theory" was flat out wrong at that. Of course too many people seem to forget (or not be aware of in the first place) that right up until Majora's Mask there was a 100% accurate Zelda game chronology, and throw this six game build out of the window rather than "build" the rest of the games around it when theorising the chronology.

[SOAP]

I believed in the MLT right away. I even went and made myself a MMT... but that's a different story...

[Vazor]

MMT? Wuzzat?

I agree with this too, although LTTP Link's plothole is trivial, and I'd rather know where the Sleeping Zelda story is than what happened to the second Zelda. I figured one ruled North Hyrule and one ruled South Hyrule. Simple. I'D love to see how this solves the Imprisoning War. Oh god -.-

[Crazy Penguin]

Link out at sea at the end of Link's Awakening isn't a plot hole, a plot hole denotes an error or logic inconsistency in the plot. Link lost at sea would be considered a dangling plot thread if anything, though I personally don't think it's important enough to be deemed as such, the story had all the closure it needed.

Multiple Maruio Theory. You see, the Mario from Donkey Kong was Mario I. He and Pauline get sent to the end of DK94 (I think it was) You see them there... for some reason. They take up residency. Mario marries her and they give birth to Mario II and Luigi II (named after Mario's brother). These are the Mario's that we see today still saving Peach and stuff. The YI games are also the story of Mario II. So in effect there already was a Mario Jr. But I'm not him. I would be Prince Mario III, a yet to be child of Mario and Peach.

[SOAP]

Of course that was years ago... And I felt sorry for Pauline.

I find it strange when people talk about the Multiple Link thing as being something that only appeared when OoT came on the scene - when it was clearly there when aLttP came out and presented itself as being about the predecessors of the Link and Zelda from LoZ/AoL. And really, it's not an Multiple Link Theory... it's a fact, plain and simple.

As for the Sleeping Zelda - she wouldn't have ruled anything, as was never in a position to take over Hyrule. Her brother was the rightful heir to the throne, and one of his children would have taken over after him.

Link left at sea was also very easy to use as a staring point for fan fiction to tie the games together - he washes up on the shores of Calatia, where he starts a family and produces the bloodline that eventually produces the LoZ/AoL Link
