Comparing/contrasting their designs (I don’t have art for SL yet so there’s no pictures)

Wolf’s hair is gray and his skin is more Gerudo in complexion, unlike Twi’s brown hair and pale skin look in LU—they both, however, have blue eyes

Wolf doesn’t wear his hero’s tunic and chainmail, he basically wears what Link wears in TP’s opening sequence, plus some cloth wrappings around his wrists/forearms

Where Twilight has a mark on his forehead, Wolf has Twili designs on his arms (this is what the wrappings are for)

Comparing/contrasting background

Both characters are about the same age (at least, as people guess Twi’s age to be)—Wolf is 21

Wolf never had romantic feelings for Midna, for him they were just very close friends, and in fact, Wolf’s Zelda is the one with feelings for Midna

Ordon Village knows about Wolf’s shifting ability (not canon or uncanon for LU Twi, but I thought it was worth mentioning)

Wolf and his Zelda have a very standoffish relationship of “I’m not talking unless they talk first” and Wolf only ever really interacts with her when he needs to make appearances as the Hero (again, not specified in LU)

Comparing/contrasting personality

In terms of their base characters, Wolf and Twilight are actually pretty similar: they’re both very protective, and they both tend to play the older brother role in their respective groups

The main differences arise in how Wolf’s transformation magic has affected him a lot (which I know is a popular headcanon for Twi, but not confirmed in canon) and the fact that Wolf has no special connection to SL’s Hero of Time or Hero of the Wild (called Mask and Blossom, respectively)

This is more because Wolf doesn’t travel with either one of them (due to how many heroes there are in SL, I split them into groups) than because he doesn’t like them
