What is Ori's primary power/ability?

[Aronnax]

Since there aren't many discussions here for now, I decided to ask you about this - what is Ori's primary power (or ability, whatever)?

As the story and gameplay goes, Ori learns more and more new abilities from ancestral trees. I think it's safe to assume that every spirit tree is born with a unique set of skills. Some were much stronger than the rest, others could climb up walls etc. But Ori doesn't seem to have one at the beginning of a game.

Or maybe I missed something/don't remember correctly? What do you think?

Or doing backflips when jumping while crouching

I feel Ori's personal ability is Adaptability. He learns skills from the other spirits and therefor gains that knowledge and uses it to advance. Then, when the other spirits are revived, he can be the teacher to those that were brought back (pardon if spoilers to other players at all).

Technically, the spirits (or "light creatures" as I call them) do not get revived. The Spirit Tree makes new ones. But otherwise, yeah.

I definitely think it's the soul link, it's the only special ability Ori has from the very beginning.

Natural agility. And abnormally strong will.

The ability to absorb the lights of others-spirit light containers, the ancestral trees, the spirit light you get from enemies, that sort of thing.

Alternatively, water breathing, and they didn't have time to develop it properly before dying-it's an ability you can get without needing to absorb an ancestral tree's light after all.

Oh that's nice! I would have voted for "kindness" as well, but absorbing spirit light of enemies seems to make much sense to me, sort of. It even gets a special mention in the game ("Their lights shall return to me, these words the sprite tree once said"). And if Ori is specially 'sent' / revived by the Tree... Whenever "once" was, and also it doesn't seem to be some sort of prophecy thing...Though, waterbreathing also makes sense.... Shame that the "mythology" behind the game is not so hugely developed.
