![]() Something concerning Zelda's office in her castle.This doesn't make much sense until you remember that Zelda gave it to you when she was a painting! This game's version of the bow of light only works while Link is a painting.While those fairies bring Link back to life if he falls in battle, Sheerow simply takes advantage of Link's death by retrieving his rented items. Along those same lines, Sheerow works in roughly the opposite way of the fairies that Link can put in bottles. However, after the reveal that Ravio is Link's Lorule counterpart, it's clear that Sheerow serves another role Ravio's Exposition Fairy! And given its appearance, a tiny white ball with two wings, it suddenly looks like a nod to another Link's own Exposition Fairy Navi from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Its purpose seems to be a way to explain how Ravio gets his items back if you fall in battle. Ravio's pet bird Sheerow is innocuous enough.Hilda, on the other hand, has enough courage to save Lorule by any means necessary, even if it would destroy another world entirely. Ravio, who may not be all that courageous, is certainly wise enough to see that both Hilda's and Yuga's plan is a spectacularly bad idea. What if Ravio had the counterpart to wisdom, and Hilda had the counterpart to Courage? Then both characters' actions would make a lot more sense.In effect, it's not that they are opposites, but rather similar characters, just viewed through a different lens. He merely exercises it differently, relying on guile more than Ganon's brute force. Seriously, the only reason Yuga's not a threat to Link is because he sidesteps Yuga's silver bullet. I mean, even as a one-trick pony, his one spell, outside of with Link, courtesy of Ravio's bracelet, is a one-hit kill/incapacitation. Finally, Yuga, while not even close to as powerful as Ganon was, is still strong. Not to mention, her plan is rather well thought-out, simply not accounting for Yuga and Ravio's respective betrayals. She clearly doesn't like what she's doing, and sees it as, at best, a necessary evil, and does what she can to help her people. Hilda's plan is a bit short-sighted, but does acknowledge her view of a greater good. He might not take an active combat position, but he does, in his own way, show courage. Rather than kick back and let Hilda consign Hyrule to a slow, decaying demise, he stepped in to help Link stop her, potentially dooming himself in the process. Furthermore, Ravio claims to be a coward, but in reality, his actions show markedly the opposite.Lorule's counterparts to the usual heroes (and villain) lack the definite trait of the Hyrule Triforce wielders: Link is courageous, while Ravio is a coward Zelda is wise, while Hilda foolishly tries to steal another Triforce and trusts Yuga Ganon is powerful, while Yuga runs away and needs to steal his strength to be an effective threat.It's pretty clear that Ganon's hate is influencing him. What use would he have in resisting Yuga's will when his will had the same aim that was being achieved right then? Worse, Yuga becomes much more violent and stole the Triforce of Wisdom just to kill Link. Why is it that Ganon never hijacked the plot from Yuga, as per his usual style? Because he was fused with Yuga, and Yuga was pretty much doing exactly what he would have done on his own in that situation already namely, try to steal the Triforce and Take Over the World. ![]() Him renting and selling his inventory to Link also makes sense once you reach the end of the game he probably plans to use the funds he raised to help reboot Lorule's economy and finance the rebuilding of the kingdom!. ![]() The Sand Rod is useless in the Eastern Palace. Or maybe he knew that Osfala wasn't the hero, and gave him a dud item to slow him down. But why did he rent the Sand Rod to Osfala? Because Osfala thought he was the hero of legend, and probably confused Ravio into thinking the same. Which is why he rents a bunch of useful equipment to Link.
