Wolf Link is the alternate form of Link in Twilight Princess. When Link enters the Twilight, the Triforce of Courage changes him into this form so that he does not become a spirit, as other people do. Wolf Link can use his senses to see these spirits, or areas where he can dig. He is also faster than Link's Hylian form. Midna often rides on his back in this form, unless he's in sunlight. Eventually, Link gains the Shadow Crystal, and is able to turn into a wolf at any time. This becomes extremely useful, as this is the only way Link is able to freely warp, unless there are NPC's nearby, in which case Midna will not allow Link to warp. Link attacks with a bite. You can also lunge at enemies, though, even latching onto some. Once latched on, Link can proceed to bite viciously until the enemy knocks him off.
Wolf Link is unable to use any items, however he is able to use senses. He uses this ability to track down smells, including Ilia's scent, and the scent of the Ordonian children. Additionally, many NPC's are afraid of Wolf Link, and will scream and run or cower in fear if he appears in the Light World. If you scare the guards in Castle Town, they'll drop their weapons. The best place to do this is around the fountain.
Combat while playing as Wolf Link features the unique ability to charge an attack and release it to instantly kill nearly any enemy caught in the area of effect. This is done by releasing the power of Midna's Fused Shadow.
