I haven’t found a straight answer, so-

How old are Wolf and Fox?

depends!

the first game from 1993 listed fox's age as 25. it was in the official ost book

it also lists peppy as 36, falco as 28, and slippy as 19.

sf 2 was never released but it was supposed to be a continuation, a true sequel.

then sf 64 came out, redid the entire story, and changed everyone's ages. on the official star fox 64 website, through the wayback machine, you'll see fox and the team's ages listed and that they have changed pretty dramatically.

fox is now 18 years old, so is slippy, falco is 19, and peppy is 42. these ages are also reflected in the nintendo power star fox 64 trading cards.

now, what about wolf? arwingpedia lists his age as 27 during the lylat wars. does the official sf 64 website say anything if we click star wolf?

no, it doesn't. does the star fox assault page say anything about wolf's age?

no it doesn't. neither does star fox 2, or star fox zero. star fox zero didn't even list star fox's ages, so people assume their ages are the same as sf 64.

now, back to fox. his age in adventures is 26, since eight years have passed since the lylat wars. assault is a year or two later so he's 27-28, and command is a year or two after that, so he's 28-29.

wolf's never had a real official source for his exact age, but what we can go off of is his dialogue. "you'll be seeing your dad soon, fox" (64), "looks like you ain't your father after all..." (assault), "i'm impressed, i haven't had this much fun since i fought your father" (zero). the only other folks that consistently bring up james are peppy & pigma. if wolf fought james, he'd obv have to be old enough to pilot and be a merc/pirate prior to being hired by andross. sure he could have been a scrappy teen, and it's rlly fun to think abt! but wolf is likely older by the time fox joins the skirmish in the lylat wars. esp by assault with wolf mockingly calling fox "pup" (so does leon, panther calls him "runt") basically shoving in his face "i've got more experience than you" also calls fox "boy" in assault. but no direct answer left a lot in the air.

and then takaya imamura said this

so, wolf during the lylat wars would be in his early 40s if not late 30s when fox is 18. when fox is 27-28 in assault, wolf would be in his late 40s, early 50s. command prob early 50s.

of course, lots of ppl toss whatever sf lore they want to make their own aus, myself included. the world is your oyster... go... be free, my scarab

HAPPY 32nd ANNIVERSARY STAR FOX!!!

This was the game that started it all for me. Some of my earliest little doodles were of Arwings in my kindergarten notebook, and I’m so thankful to the passionate devs and artists who created this game decades ago for inspiring me to be the artist I’ve become. Coming back to this series has really revived my artistic energy, and I can’t wait to create more prints like this one. Once I have my shop open, this one will be one of the first prints available, so stay tuned!!

(And yes, if you haven’t noticed, this was also inspired by the iconic illustrated Star Wars poster from the 70s)

hey

The history between the McClouds and the O'Donnels goes back further than one generation. Perhaps this is why Fox and Wolf's friendship fell through into old rivalries.
