Based on conversation in this thread.
Wolf's resurrection ability is often inflated in Versus threads. It is assumed that Wolf is capable of instantly resurrecting with a healed body regardless of how he was killed. This goes against the Resurrection page's instructions, which states:
This is wrong due to a few reasons:
On a side note, Wolf should have Psychometry since he has retrocognition, and can access remnants of conversations other characters had in the past. Such as in here and here.
Wolf also has other names he is known as: "Loyal Wolf" and "Starving Wolf" (as a child).
The explanation I find more likely for why Wolf doesn't regrow his arm is that the Divine Dragon, the source of Wolf's immortality, is also missing his left arm, so due to karma/fate Wolf can't regenerate his left arm either.

"In many cases, self-resurrection may take too long to be combat applicable, but it still exists. The ability has similar limitations to Regenerationn, and one should not assume that, because a character has never failed to resurrect, that they can resurrect regardless of how they've been killed." |
- 1- This is an inflation of abilities based on nothing but speculation against what is shown in gameplay. Even more curious, this speculation claims that the Sculptor's Idols outside the Dilapidated Temple are not canon, even though Sekiro's ability to teleport via. Homeward Idol is mentioned in his profile.
- 2- Wolf has an anti-feat of not being able to regenerate his arm. This is a clear indication that Sekiro's resurrection has limitations. If it is because his arm is physically 'blocked' by a wooden prosthetic, then it should be possible to physically 'block' the Regenerationn of Wolf's mutilated body.
- 3-This is the big one: Wolf's "True Death" and teleportation are canon and not just game mechanics, and have in-fact been shown in cutscene. When Wolf dies a true death and causes Dragonrot for the first time, a cutscene activates where Wolf is shown waking up all the way in the Dilapidated Temple. This proves that Wolf is rendered unconscious for what is likely at least a few hours every time he experiences true death (refuting the perpetual combat-applicable resurrection position), so... Wolf either has a stalker willing to carry his unconscious body from potentially the furthest reaches of Ashina to the Dilapidated Temple or to the last Sculptor's Idol Wolf rested at (The Divine Child warns Wolf that the Senpu Temple monks will try to capture him for experimentation, so the mysterious stalker must be strong enough to fend them off)... or Wolf simply teleported back to the Dilapidated Temple after his true death.
