We all know its the priest guy that tries to poison you in FOTW, but was anybody at least tempted, just a little, to attack Ganon? After all, guys that wear green and have blonde hair are known to attack people with the name Ganon, and besides, he took my triforce!

Maerin laughs. I think I picked the fight with the Knights of the White Mountain once. I do not remember if the motive was merely morbid curiosity over what would happen or what.

I attacked him. And his brother too. Ganon was one of many to die by my hand, The Scourge of Gorn Cove, that night. But ah well, it's too bad that Gorn Cove is a ghost town now. The local infiltration of Cener Druid spies have sown lies that Durenor invaded looking for gold to fund the MS5050 war against the darklords. Sages of Lyris record history. We re-write it. The Cener Druids rule all. You know it to be true.

Heh. The first time I played through FOTW, I attacked Halvorc. He looks slimy and untrustworthy! Didn't notice the snake thing...

After all, guys that wear green and have blonde hair are known to attack people with the name Ganon, and besides, he took my triforce! I always thought that the Legend of Zelda (the first game) was based on the LW series. After all, both guys are dressed in green, they both have equipments, they both get a book (Mudora and Magnakai), they collect keys and powerful stones (Triforce pieces for one, Lorestones for the other), they save a fair damsel in distress (Zelda and Madelon) and they can even fight a guy named Ganon. And that's not to forget their swords shooting beams of energy! ;D

Now I imagine the two knights doing the ali shuffle while saying 'we're so pretty' at LW

Actually now that you mention it I do see plenty of similarities between Link and Lone Wolf, although Link did not have special powers like Lone Wolf does and Lone Wolf doesn't have the pointy ears. I am not sure how inspired the creators of Zelda were by Lone Wolf, or even if they were inspired at all. Sending an elf out on a quest to retrieve a triforce and save a damsel in distress sounded like a unique idea. I do see the similarities though, not that they've been pointed out, collecting items, wielding cool swords, having equipment, although Link seems to have a bigger supply of special items than Lone Wolf, everything from a boomerang that can stun enemies and be used to pick up objects to a wand that shoots waves of energy and that can, at advanced levels, start fires. As it is though, I saw the most similarities between Lone Wolf and Luke Skywalker, they both are the last of their kind, they both have special powers, they both get cool swords, they both have friends who have really cool vehicles for travelling (Han Solo with the Millennium Falcon, Banedon with the Skyrider), they both start out as weak underdogs but end up becoming extremely powerful and important, ect. ect. In fact, I see Lone Wolf as a Luke Skywalker in an Authurian setting, the similarities are so striking.

To be fair to the point, a lot of quest-style games have very similar basic story and character elements to them, which form a generalized concept. Consequently, it may be more of a matter of both Lone Wolf and Link tapping into that common overall concept than them being directly related to one another.

The ranger type hero (green clothes, wanderer personality, swordsman) has been around for ages. Look at Robin Hood. And of course, it was popularized by Aragorn in the LOTR.

Actually, I think it was popularized by Robin Hood. That guy was doing pretty well in showbiz even before Tolkien came along.

Robin Hood was more an archerer than a swordsman and if you ask me, Lone Wolf was more swordsman than archerer. He wields the Sommerswerd and you can choose the sword as your weapon of specialization. You don't get to choose the bow as a weapon of specialization until you get to the magnakai series. Aside from that though there are plenty of similarities, they both wear green and they both hang out in the woods although Lone Wolf does not have the feathered hat that Robin Hood has. Also Lone Wolf is not fighting a corrupt government in his homeland the way Robin Hood is. If King Ulnar were to be replaced by a malevolent tyrant that ruled Sommerlund, than Lone Wolf would take on a Robin Hood role and he would have more in common. There are enough differences though to tell the two apart. At one time I was a bit afraid that Lone Wolf might be a Robin Hood clone, but as I see it now that is not the case. To be fair to the point, a lot of quest-style games have very similar basic story and character elements to them, which form a generalized concept.

I don't think anyone was claiming that Lone Wolf was a clone of Robin Hood/Aragorn/Link.
All that was said was that the ranger type hero has been around for ages.
