Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Link, the main character, has to save princess Zelda (like the other games) and is accompanied by a shadow spirit named Midna. Link has the ability to turn into a wolf.
I have always loved Legend of Zelda games because my dad played them. I play them now with his help. I also really like wolves so the fact the main character could shift into one was really cool to me. The overall art style is really appealing as well.
