Picture it, Skyloft. Twilight has transformed into Wolfie and is going about his business when he runs into Crimson, Sky's loftwing.
Turns out, Crimson's a she, and has a very interesting personality. Twilight ends up learning a lot about Sky and Sun through her, and also that her mate is Sun's loftwing, Periwinkle, who likes to spit things at people.
She's a lot like Epona, both in the fact she's a steed for a hero of courage, and that she hates the wolf form.
"Where's your feathers? You look like a giant grey remlit with weird ears and a weird face."
But she doesn't urge him to change back, because she's actually quite conversational. When Sky ends up learning about this, he tries getting Twilight to be a middle man in order to actually speak with his bird.
Then, because word spreads like wildfire in a small town, everybody and their mothers wants to talk to their loftwings through Twilight.
Nobody questions the wolf very much, at the very most they'll dote over him, trying to pet him and once again comparing him to a remlit.
He doesn't let anyone pet him, except for the kids there. It's a stark contrast to the fear everybody back in his era has at the sight of him.
