Is hyrule in the southern hemisphere? The moon seems... upside down.

My final conclusion to all of this is that you cannot interact with anything when a panic blood moon triggers, and so i will never know if hino reacts to it or not. Based on his lack of mentioning it aftwerwards, its most likely that he would not react to it if you could speak to him.

Also, if hes out of the cage and you trigger a panic blood moon, the cage will go back on him with him still standing. Normally it would just stay where you moved it.

Finally found a way to trigger a panic blood moon...

After a good amount of trial and error, i have made the unfortunate discovery that you are not able to interact with npcs after reloading a save to allow the panic blood moon to happen.

Which means that, unfortunately, i still have no way of knowing if hino does his blood moon dialogue during a panic blood moon. However, i have found that he does not react to it while still in the cage, and he does not mention it if you speak to him after it passes. This most likely means he wont react to it, but id still like to confirm it. Also, it seems like his positioning in the fort causes the monsters to immediately aggro on him upon respawning, while anywhere else they will not notice him.

My next best bet is to be able to trigger a panic blood moon while hino is out of the cage and close enough for me to interact with him before it happens (and far enough that he wont react to whatevers going on, preventing me from being able to speak to him). I havent managed to find a way to do that yet, though.

Ive done this all at his boné pond location since that has a body of water close by. There are two other locations of his that have water nearby, but not nearly as close as this one.

Another thing that makes this all the more complicated is that you cannot reload the save and have him outside of the cage. He will always go back to sitting inside the cage even if you previously removed or destroyed the cage via fusing.

As a result of a conversation with a friend we came to the conclusion that hino would probably really enjoy a burger. Specifically a whopper. I think he would like burgers. Now he is the burger king. With a poorly edited crown.

While hino normally has unique dialogue for when you put the cage back on him (or a different cage, doesnt have to be the one he was in), if you recreate a cage with zonaite it doesnt seem to count as a cage and he will instead do his regular rescue dialogue.

#experimenting on him. not that theres much to do #i still havent been able to trigger a panic blood moon anywhere near him #vpost #hinoposting #legend of zelda #totk #hino

I am playing skyward sword now. Its insane how many similarities totk has to this game. I dont even know how to describe what i mean. Im having a great time so far, feels like i actually know what im doing most of the time. I just finished the sand ship for the second flame.

I managed to get in the cage with hino without him standing up! You cant speak or interact with him and he doesnt react to anything.

Saving and reloading puts you back outside of the cage. Youre just not allowed to stay with him in there...

Now lets pretend hino truly is a werewolf. Just for fun.

Lets say he cant physically transform, for whatever reason. Maybe lycanthropy doesnt work the same in this world. Maybe it isnt a typical case of lycanthropy.

We have the wolfos, and then we have wolves. Botw/totk (ill just say b/t) hyrule has wolves, but no wolfos. The wolfos has appeared in just a few mainline games, debuting in ocarina of time. Wolfos were present in majoras mask as well. Their counterparts, the white wolfos, were also in these two games, but also appeared in twilight princess and spirit tracks, though they were less humanoid in those two games. The case of link becoming a wolf in twilight princess is very different from the concept of werewolves, so we dont have to consider that.

It seems monsters with "fos" in the name are more humanoid, so with that in mind, wolfos may not be simply evil wolves, but a different creature entirely that is simply very semiliar or perhaps closely related.

In totk we're shown that the demon king ganondorf had all sorts monsters around with him, but we dont see some of them in botw. The reason for this is that those monsters were, for whatever reasons, unable to be revived for some time, likely as a result of the demon kings dwindling power and control over the blood moon, as well as caves and the depths being closed off (for further unknown reasons). So because ganondorf was regaining power again, those monsters from the past were able to come back.

The blood moon revives any and all monsters. The blood moon affects ONLY monsters in this case. And yet, here we have hino.

Hino is the one and only person affected by the blood moon at all. Even those afflicted with gloom dont have any sort of reaction to the blood moon. While ganondorf did have control over the blood moons power, it is much more likely that the blood moon had always existed rather than being as a result of him.

Back to the wolfos, b/t does not have wolfos. We have no idea when on the timeline these games take place, but in my personal opinion the best bet is simply after everything else has happened. Perhaps king rauru was the "first" king of hyrule, in the sense that any other hyrule that existed before the zonai was such a long time ago that there was no way of knowing that there were any other hyrules before them. This would likely mean that hundred of thousands of years have passed since, say, zelda II or spirit tracks, whatever would theoretically be the latest in any timeline. In this time, wolfos couldve simply went extinct, or migrated out of hyrule, or evolved into something else, though that isnt likely.

We see that lizalfos have changed significantly since the last game they were in, so why wouldnt a wolfos? Well, maybe wolfos just didnt survive. Perhaps they were outcompeted by regular wolves. Alternatively, the regular wolves ARE technically wolfos, just more closely related to or completely evolved from the white wolfos as seen in spirit tracks and twilight princess, rather than the wolfos seen in ocarina of time and majoras mask.

But now that the demon king has returned and is reviving all of these now ancient monsters, perhaps there were a few wolfos spirits still lingering around after all this time. Eager to return to flesh, to be revived after hylia knows how long theyve been waiting. But it simply never happens. Theyve been gone for far too long, and clearly the blood moon did not occur back then.

So how would one become a werewolf, then? Maybe the ancient wolfos spirits somehow managed to tie themselves to the blood moon, but because their souls are so different from those of the monsters of this era, it didnt revive them. Maybe they had to compromise by taking over someone elses soul, slowly but surely...

After all, this wouldnt be the first time someone slowly turned into a monster as a result of their soul becoming corrupted. It happened in majoras mask. It could be a similar situation, just a slightly different cause.

So, theoretically, if someone was a werewolf in b/t, i believe itd work something like that. Ancient wolfos that cant quite be revived by the blood moon, attempting, whether on purpose or not, to live again by attaching their own souls to another persons soul and slowly and gradually taking them over from the inside out.

As for how this may have happened to hino, and only hino... i dont know. Maybe only one wolfos managed to get this far. Maybe there were more like him in the past, but they didnt survive. Id imagine they wouldnt survive to ever begin to physically transform. Blood moons seemed to be a lot less frequent in the past.

Now the question is, if this was the case, is he doomed? Will he ever be free of the wolfos soul? Will he ever even know whats happening to him?

Theoretically this may be able to be solved the same way it was solved in majoras mask. The song of healing has already worked for a similar case. But i doubt anyone knows that song anymore, or even heard of it.

For now, all we can do is wait.
