'''Walltulas''', also known as '''Skullwalltulas''' in some games, are recurring enemies in {{LZS|Series}}.

In {{OoT}}, Skullwalltulas are found in many places where there is a collection of vines that [[Link]] can climb up. These enemies wait for Link on the vines, then charge at him and knock him off when he attempts to climb. Skullwalltulas are easily dispatched with any ranged weapon such as the [[Slingshot]], [[Boomerang]], [[Bow]], and [[Hookshot]]. They can also be knocked off by hitting the ground nearby with the [[Megaton Hammer]]. Skullwalltulas can be found [[Inside the Great Deku Tree]], the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], and several other dungeons. They resemble miniature versions of [[Skulltula]]s.

{{Tatl|Skullwalltula|What?! Don't you know about the '''Skullwalltula'''? ...Just don't touch it, all right? {{ExpGame|MM}}
===Childhood===
 
  +
----
As a child the Hero of Time grew up in the [[Kokiri Forest]] believing that he was a [[Kokiri]], but in reality he was an orphaned [[Hylian]]. Because the Hero of Time was not a Kokiri he did not possess a [[fairy]] companion which led to him being ostracized by the majority of the Kokiri Forest with the exception of [[Saria]] and the [[Deku Tree]]. Eventually the Hero of Time was bestowed with a fairy named [[Navi]], by the Deku Tree to help guide him on his quest to save [[Hyrule]].
 
  +
That's a '''Skullwalltula'''.<br>...Just don't touch it, all right? {{ExpGame|MM3D}}}}
  +
In {{MM}}, Skullwalltulas appear only in a [[grotto]] near the giant tree that bears the [[Skull Kid]]'s drawing in [[Termina Field]]. In the Japanese versions of ''Majora's Mask'', they also appear in a regional-exclusive pathway in the [[Deku Palace]].

In {{TP}}, Walltulas can be found clinging to walls and vines in several places. They are easily dispatched with any ranged weapon, such as the Slingshot, Bow, or [[Clawshot]].

In the land of Hyrule, legends speak of the [[Triforce]], the mythical Golden Power said to reside in the [[Sacred Realm]] which has the power to grant the wishes of its holder.<ref>{{cite|For it is in that Sacred Realm that one will find the divine relic, the Triforce, which contains the essence of the gods...|Great Deku Tree|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The three goddesses hid the Triforce containing the power of the gods somewhere in Hyrule.

Link eventually awakens as the Hero of Time and, using the Master Sword and the Pedestal of Time, travels through time to seek the [[Sage#Ocarina of Time|Seven Sages]], who were said to have the power to bind Ganondorf and return peace to Hyrule.<ref name=time/><ref>{{cite|The power of the Sages remains.

  +
In {{SS}}, Walltulas can be found climbing on the vines of walls in several places. Link can easily take them out using the Slingshot or the {{it|Beetle}}. He can also defeat Walltulas by making it follow him and then jumping at a wall without vines. Walltulas do not inflict damage, however, getting bitten by one will make Link's [[Stamina]] drop faster.
With Hyrule now at peace, Princess Zelda uses her power as a Sage to send the Hero of Time back to his own age in order to regain his lost childhood.<ref>{{cite|Link, give the Ocarina to me... As a Sage, I can return you to your original time with it.|Princess Zelda|OoT}}</ref> Upon his departure, the Triforce of Courage splits apart into eight shards and are scattered across the land to be found again one day by [[Link#The Wind Waker|another Hero]] that would have need of its power.<ref>{{cite|When the Hero of Time was called to embark on another journey and left the land of Hyrule, he was separated from the elements that made him a hero. It is said that at that time, the Triforce of Courage was split into eight shards and hidden throughout the land.|King of Red Lions|TWW}}</ref> The Master Sword is also left in the Hero's wake, being returned to its pedestal in turn. With this act, the Hero of Time vanishes from this branch of Hyrule's history, leaving only his legend behind.
 
   
  +
==Trivia==
===The Hero's Fate===
 
  +
*Walltulas will only charge at Link if he moves while they are facing him. At all other times, they will ignore him.
Before leaving the land of Hyrule, the Hero of Time warns Princess Zelda about Ganondorf's plans and what the future would unfold if the King of Evil was not stopped.<ref>{{cite book|quote=Link warned Princess Zelda of what the future would bring. Hearing his words, the princess entrusted the Ocarina of Time to Link and instructed him to travel far away in order to prevent Ganondorf from entering the Sacred Realm. |book= Hyrule Historia|publisher= Dark Horse Comics|page= 110}}</ref> The princess entrusts Link with the {{it|Ocarina of Time}} to prevent Ganondorf from entering the Sacred Realm, and the young hero then departs from Hyrule with the ocarina in hand to seek his [[fairy]] companion, [[Navi]]. In the process, however, he stumbles into a parallel universe known as [[Termina]], which was being threatened to be destroyed by its [[Moon (Majora's Mask)|Moon]]. With the aid of the Ocarina of Time and the fairy [[Tatl]], Link saves Termina from its imminent downfall and soon after leaves the land.
 
  +
*In ''Ocarina of Time'', when a Skullwalltula falls to the ground and before its body burns, the Megaton Hammer can be used to make the creature bounce, as if killing it again. By doing this, it is possible to juggle a Skullwalltula's body on the ground indefinitely.
 
Despite this, the Hero of Time continued to lament the fact that he was not remembered as a hero after he was returned to his original time upon defeating Ganon.<ref name=herosspirit>{{cite book|quote=Link, the descendant of the Hero of Time: [...] The spirit of Link's ancestor, the Hero of Time, teaches him his secrets. Ever since returning to the Child Era, the swordsman has lamented the fact that he was not remembered as a hero. This is the reason he passes down the proof of his courage and his secret techniques to the Link of this era, addressing him as "son".|book=[[Hyrule Historia]]|publisher=Dark Horse Books|page=118}}</ref> After his death, he was unable to go to the afterlife because of the regrets that kept him tied to the world of the living, feeling regret that he was unable to pass on the lessons of his life to the younger generations. In order to ease his regrets and finally pass on his knowledge, he teaches the seven [[Hidden Skills]] to his descendant, the Link of {{TP}}.<ref name=herosspirit/><ref>{{Cite|Although I accepted life as the hero, I could not convey the lessons of that life to those that came after. At last, I have eased my regrets.|Hero's Spirit|TP}}</ref>
 
 
==Legacy==
 
[[File:Hero of Time Statue.png|100px|right|The statue of the Hero of Time found in Hyrule Castle in the Adult Timeline]]
 
The legend of the Hero of Time becomes of great significance in the development of the [[Zelda Timeline]] and the [[Mythology in the Legend of Zelda Series|mythology in the ''Zelda'' series]]. His battle against Ganondorf marked the point in which the timeline split into three branches: the Downfall, Child, and Adult Timeline. Princess Zelda's plan with Link to save Hyrule by retrieving the Triforce resulted in Ganondorf obtaining the Triforce of Power,<ref name=ohzelda>{{cite|We must not let Ganondorf get the Triforce! I will protect the Ocarina of Time with all my power! He shall not have it! You go find the other two Spiritual Stones! Let's get the Triforce before Ganondorf does, and then defeat him!|Princess Zelda|OoT}}</ref> leading eventually, in one continuity, to Link's defeat and the formation of the [[Zelda Timeline#Downfall Timeline|Downfall Timeline]].<ref>{{cite book|quote=Ganondorf the thief obtained the Triforce of Power and managed to get his hands on Princess Zelda. The Hero of Time, Link, challenged him in a battle that would determine Hyrule's very existence, and lost.|book=[[Hyrule Historia]]|page=92|publisher=Dark Horse Books}}</ref> In the alternate continuity where Link succeeds in defeating Ganondorf, the princess sends the Hero of Time back to his original time, creating two timelines; the [[Zelda Timeline#Child Timeline|Child Timeline]] and the [[Zelda Timeline#Adult Timeline|Adult Timeline]]. In the latter of the two, the Triforce of Courage is shattered and the hero in the Adult Timeline vanishes, resulting in Hyrule eventually [[Great Flood|being flooded]] since there was no hero to defeat Ganon once the Sages' seal broke.<ref>{{cite|The people believed that the Hero of Time would again come to save them. ...But the hero did not appear.|Introduction|TWW}}</ref> In the Child Timeline, the Hero of Time becomes filled with regret by not being remembered as the hero that saved Hyrule from Ganondorf, eventually leading him to linger on as the [[Hero's Spirit]] in the Era of Twilight.<ref name=herosspirit/>
 
 
Although Hyrule was flooded in the Adult Timeline and the memory of the kingdom vanished, the legend of the Hero of Time transcended through time. In [[Outset Island]], it became a custom to clothe boys in green once they came of age.<ref>{{cite|What became of that kingdom...? None remain who know. The memory of the kingdom vanished, but its legend survived on the wind's breath. On a certain island, it became customary to garb boys in green when they came of age. Clothed in the green of fields, they aspired to find heroic blades and cast down evil. The elders wished only for the youths to know courage like the hero of legend...|Introduction|TWW}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Today is a day to celebrate! It is the day that you become the same age as the young hero spoken of in all the legends.|Grandmother|TWW}}</ref> A [[Link Statue|statue depicting the Hero of Time]] is also prominently displayed in the sunken [[Hyrule Castle]], demonstrating how meaningful the legend of the brave boy clothed in green was to the citizens of [[Hyrule]].

[[File:SSBM Link.png|100px|right]]
 
 
The Hero of Time appears in his adult and child forms in {{SSBM}}. His adult form is a default character while his child form has to be unlocked. There are two ways to unlock his child form, including by playing 500 Vs. matches, or Completing {{ssb|Classic Mode}} with 10 different characters, including Adult Link and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. The player will then be challenged by Young Link, and upon defeating him, Young Link will become a playable character. His appearance is based on his younger and older counterparts as seen in ''Ocarina of Time'', since he wields the [[Kokiri Sword]] and the [[Deku Shield]] during combat as a child, and the [[Master Sword]] and the [[Hylian Shield]] as an adult. Young Link is more agile, but weaker while Adult Link is slower, but stronger. Young Link has some of the same weaponry and moves as his adult counterpart, but they are usually accompanied with a few changes, like his [[Hookshot]] and [[Boomerang]] having a shorter reach. [[Great Bay]] serves as the home stage of Young Link, and [[Hyrule: Temple]] is the home stage of Adult Link.
 
 
Both Adult Link and Young Link can choose different color tunics, including the [[Goron Tunic|Goron]] and [[Zora Tunic|Zora]] tunics, and a black tunic. When the Young Link taunts his foes, he drinks a [[Bottle]] of [[Lon Lon Milk]], then wipes his mouth.
 
 
Young Link's special moves are the same as the adult version. He wields the [[Fairy Bow]] from ''Ocarina of Time'' as his {{ssb|neutral special move}}; however, instead of it shooting normal [[Arrow]]s like Adult Link's, Young Link shoots [[Fire Arrow]]s, although they do not travel as far as Adult Link's and inflict less damage. Young Link's {{ssb|side special move}} is the Boomerang. [[Bomb]]s function as both Link's {{ssb|down special move}}, while the [[Spin Attack]] is their {{ssb|up special move}} as well as his {{ssb:recovery}}. Young Link's Spin Attack is weaker than Adult Link's, but it can trap nearby foes in a cyclone of slashes upon performing this move.
 
 
Young Link is replaced by [[Toon Link]] in {{SSBB}} and {{SSB4}}, while Adult Link is replaced by his successor from {{TP}}. Both appear as [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros.)|Trophies]].

Revision as of 21:31, 22 February 2017

Template:Enemy Walltulas, also known as Skullwalltulas in some games, are recurring enemies in Template:LZS.

Characteristics and Weaknesses

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Skullwalltulas are found in many places where there is a collection of vines that Link can climb up. These enemies wait for Link on the vines, then charge at him and knock him off when he attempts to climb. Skullwalltulas are easily dispatched with any ranged weapon such as the Slingshot, Boomerang, Bow, and Hookshot. They can also be knocked off by hitting the ground nearby with the Megaton Hammer. Skullwalltulas can be found Inside the Great Deku Tree, the Forest Temple, and several other dungeons. They resemble miniature versions of Skulltulas.

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, Skullwalltulas appear only in a grotto near the giant tree that bears the Skull Kid's drawing in Termina Field. In the Japanese versions of Majora's Mask, they also appear in a regional-exclusive pathway in the Deku Palace.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Walltulas can be found clinging to walls and vines in several places. They are easily dispatched with any ranged weapon, such as the Slingshot, Bow, or Clawshot.

Skyward Sword

In Skyward Sword, Walltulas can be found climbing on the vines of walls in several places. Link can easily take them out using the Slingshot or the Template:It. He can also defeat Walltulas by making it follow him and then jumping at a wall without vines. Walltulas do not inflict damage, however, getting bitten by one will make Link's Stamina drop faster.

Trivia

  • Walltulas will only charge at Link if he moves while they are facing him. At all other times, they will ignore him.
  • In Ocarina of Time, when a Skullwalltula falls to the ground and before its body burns, the Megaton Hammer can be used to make the creature bounce, as if killing it again. By doing this, it is possible to juggle a Skullwalltula's body on the ground indefinitely.
