'''''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''''' (''{{Tt|Towairaito Purinsesu|トワイライトプリンセス}}'') is the 13th installment in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Set over a century after the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the game follows [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] as he attempts to save [[Hyrule]] from being subsumed by the [[Twilight Realm]], an alternate dimension wreathed in shadow - along the way, Link is able to transform between the forms of a [[Hylian]] and a [[Wolf Link|wolf]], and is aided by [[Midna]], a mysterious imp native to the Twilight Realm. The game features a notably darker, more realistic art style compared to its predecessor, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' - this has been interpreted as a response to the backlash that ''The Wind Waker'', particularly in the West, received for its brightly colored, cel-shaded art style.
 
The game was originally planned to release for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in 2005, but was delayed so that Nintendo could expand upon the content and create a port for the [[Nintendo Wii]]. The Wii version was released as a launch title in November 2006 in North America, and was released the following month in Japan, Europe, and Australia; the GameCube version was released in December 2006, as the final first-party title on the console. Upon release, ''Twilight Princess'' received critical acclaim and won several Game Of The Year awards, being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. It is the second-best selling ''Zelda'' game behind ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', having sold over 8.85 million copies as of 2015, and the Wii port received a "Nintendo Selects" label in 2011. A remaster of the GameCube version, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD]]'', was released for the [[Wii U]] in March 2016.

<!-- insert brief summary here -->
This game's story takes place after the [[Child Ending]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', when [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|that generation's Princess Zelda]] sent [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|the Hero of Time]] back in time to prevent the events of ''Ocarina of Time'' and allowed him to live out his childhood.


This game's story takes place after [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora's_Mask|Majora's Mask]], when Zelda sent Link back in time to live out his childhood in [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time|Ocarina of Time]]. The story starts with [[Link]] talking to a character named [[Rusl]], who was supposed to be going to [[Hyrule]] to deliver a gift to the Royal Family. But he offers the job to Link instead. They talk about it until they get to town, and a mysterious character comes and takes Link's horse away, towards the woods. A new character named [[Fado]] comes running up to Link to remind him about goat herding. So Link gets his horse back, and herds the goats. The next day, he goes and buys a slingshot, and gets a wooden sword from Rusl. Trouble unfolds when he is giving the local kids a slingshot/sword lesson, because a monkey shows up, and they go to chase it! Link battles his way through many enemies to find them. When Link finds the kid, [[Talo]], he is stuck in a cage with the monkey. When they get out, and return to town, Rusl finds Link to remind him about going to Hyrule the very next day. After goat herding, Link's friend, [[Ilia]] takes the horse away to wash her in the spirit's spring. When Link goes there to get her back, a large green beast comes crashing through the gate, and kidnaps Ilia and the others. When Link runs across the bridge towards the woods, he gets grabbed and sucked in to a big black wall by a giant hand. When Link awakens inside the [[Twilight]], he turns into a wolf, and a golden triangle shows up on his hand. You then see a mysterious stalker character named [[Midna]] watching him. Link gets taken to Hyrule Castle, and gets imprisoned in the cellars. Here, he meets Midna, who indirectly helps Link escape. When he finally gets to the rooftop of the castle, and into the tallest tower, he meets Princess Zelda for the first time. She tells him about a battle that went on in Hyrule Castle between Zelda and the soldiers, and a mysterious tall guy named [[Zant]]. Zelda surrenders and the whole are falls under Twilight. Link and Midna escape from the Twilight and return to [[Ordon]] to get a Sword and Shield. The weapons he grab just so happen to be the gift he was to deliver to Hyrule. On their way back to the Twiligh, they get stopped outside Ordon Spring, where they meet [[Ordona]], the first [[Light_Spirit|Light Spirit]] in the game. Then, a battle is engaged between Link and a [[Twilight_Beast|Twilight Beast]]. Link and Midna then go to the Twilight covered [[Faron_Woods|Faron Woods]] where they meet the shattered remains of the Light Spirit [[Faron]]. He gives them the Vessel of Light so they can find [[Tears_of_Light|Tears of Light]] and restore Light to Faron Province. After that, they meet Faron, and Link finds out he is the chosen hero of destiny. Link and Midna then go to the forest temple, where they get the [[Boomerang|Gale Boomerang]], and defeat [[Diababa]]. After that, they are granted with the first Fused Shadow. Faron then tells them to go to the [[Eldin_Provice|Eldin Province]] to the west (Wii) or east (GCN). Link then goes to said area, but is stopped just outside the Wall of Twilight by [[Postman|The Postman]]. Continuing on, Link and Midna go into the Twilight, and find Link's [[Wooden_Sword|Wooden Sword]], which he gave to [[Talo]] awhile back. Since Link is a wolf at this time, he can smell the kids, and follow the scent to a broken bridge and 3 Twilight Beasts. After going to Faron Woods to recover the bridge, Link and Midna continue on to [[Kakariko_Village|Kakariko Village]], where they find the shattered form of the Light Spirit [[Eldin]]. Once again, they search Kakariko and [[Death_Mountain|Death Mountain]] for the Tears of Light to restore the light to Eldin Province. After doing so, Link will be reuinited with the kids at last. But one person is still missing. Where's Ilia? Anyway, Link talks to the kids, and meets a new character, [[Renado]], who tells Link about the [[Goron|Gorons]] at Death Mountain, and how they are in an uncontrollable rage. If Link tries to go up to Death Mountain, Renado tells him that [[Bo]], the Mayor of [[Ordon_Village|Ordon]], could beat the Gorons in strength contests.So Link goes to leave Kakariko, when Epona comes riding in with two [[Bulblin|Bulblins]] on her back. After handling her, Link can ride her to Ordon. When he meets with Bo, Link gets a quick Sumo lesson, and Bo gives him the Iron Boots. With these in hand, Link returns to Death Mountain, fighting off the Gorons along to way, until he finally reaches a large room with lots of Gorons, who are prepared to fight. The Goron Elder, [[Gor_Coron|Gor Coron]] comes out and tells Link that if he can win against him in a contest of strength, he will grant him entry into the Goron mines to save the Goron Patriarch, [[Darbus]]. Inside, he finds the Bow, and gets the three pieces of key to Darbus' room from the other 3 Goron elders ([[Gor_Amoto|Gor Amoto]], [[Gor_Ebizo|Gor Ebizo]] and [[Gor_Liggs|Gor Liggs]]). When he gets to Darbus' room, Darbus turns into a monster called Fyrus. After defeating him, Link is granted with Fused Shadow number 2. Link then travels to the [[Lanayru_Province|Lanayru Province]] which is also covered in Twilight. There he meets the Light Spirit, [[Lanayru]] and saves the Province from Twilight. After doing so, he is reunited with Ilia, who is in the care of the bartender, [[Telma]]. The two of them are taking care of a collapsed [[Zora]] child name [[Prince_Ralis|Prince Ralis]]. Link quickly escorts them to Kakariko village, where Ralis and Ilia get put in Renado’s care. Ilia has lost her memory, and apparently, retrieving it is no simple task. Link then gets granted the [[Zora_Armor|Zora Armor]] by Ralis’s dead Mom, [[Rutela]]. Link heads to Lake Hylia, where he enters the Water Temple. Here, he gets the clawshot, and defeats [[Morpheel]], granting him the 3rd and final Fused Shadow. With these in hand, Link and Midna return to Lanayru Spring, where they learn the story of the Dark Interlopers. Here at the spring, they quite literally bump into [[Zant]], who then hurts Midna by trapping her in the Light World, even though the light is not good for her. Link and Midna then return to Hyrule Castle where Zelda grants Midna the power to survive in the Light World. So they go back to Faron Woods, to a hidden portion called the Sacred Grove. Here, they find the Legendary Blade of Evil’s Bane, the Master Sword. The two of them then go to the Gerudo Desert, which is the location of the Arbiter’s Grounds. Here, they defeat [[Stallord]], who was powered by Zant. Afterwards, they head outside where they find the [[Mirror_of_Twilight|Mirror of Twilight]], which is broken in 4 pieces. They also meet the Sages, and learn about [[Ganondorf]], who apparently holds the Triforce of Power. They sent him into the Twilight Realm after a failed execution. Next, Link and Midna go to [[Snowpeak]], the home of [[Yeto]] and [[Yeta]], to recover a cursed mirror shard that possessed Yeta, turning her into [[Blizzeta]]. Next they return to the Sacred Grove and enter the [[Temple_of_Time|Temple of Time]] where they find the [[Domion_Rod|Dominion Rod]], and recover another mirror shard from [[Armoghoma]]. They then return to Kakariko where they meet [[Shad]], who tells them about the sky beings, known as the [[Oocca]]. Gor Coron tells Link to go to the [[Hidden_Village|Hidden Village]] near the Bridge of Eldin. Here they find [[Impaz]], who is the last of the [[Shiekah]]. She gives Link the Skybook, which allows Shad to read a word that moves the statue in the basement. Link gets a wooden statue from [[Castle_Town|Castle Town]], as well as a Horse Call from Impaz, which combined give Ilia her memory back. Link goes back to Kakariko and shows the book to Shad, who gives him the location of the remaining owl statues around Hyrule. Link goes and moves them all, restoring the full word, which removes the seal on the owl statue in Kakariko. Link moves it and finds a cannon, which allows him to access the [[City_in_the_Sky|City in the Sky]], home of the Oocca. Link defeats the Dragon, [[Argarok]], thus granting him the final mirror shard. With all 3 shards in hand, Link and Midna return to the Mirror of Twilight, and enter the Palace of Twilight. Here, Link recovers the 2 [[Sol|Sols]], thus bringing the power of light to the Master Sword. So Link and Midna then go defeat Zant once and for all, but find out that he is just a puppet, and the real bad guy is Ganondorf. So Link and Midna return to Hyrule Castle once more, where they face off with Ganondorf. Link stabs him in the stomach with the Master Sword, which finishes him. Midna is then revealed to truly be a beautiful Princess. Her, Link, and Zelda return to the Mirror Chamber, and say their final goodbyes, as Midna leaves, shattering the mirror of Twilight into a million pieces so that nothing could enter or leave the Twilight Realm ever again.
This generation's Link lives a peaceful life in Ordon Village as a goat herder and animal wrangler. He is a valuable friend to both the village and forest. One day, Link is given the opportunity to visit Castle Town as an envoy to present a specially crafted sword to the royal family. Before Link embarks, however, tragedy strikes the village and he is forced to leave his tranquil life behind. Link must venture forth into the vast land of Hyrule to bring peace back to his village and, along the way, uncover the secret behind the mysterious Twilight.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (トワイライトプリンセス) is the 13th installment in The Legend of Zelda series. Set over a century after the events of Majora's Mask, the game follows Link as he attempts to save Hyrule from being subsumed by the Twilight Realm, an alternate dimension wreathed in shadow - along the way, Link is able to transform between the forms of a Hylian and a wolf, and is aided by Midna, a mysterious imp native to the Twilight Realm. The game features a notably darker, more realistic art style compared to its predecessor, The Wind Waker - this has been interpreted as a response to the backlash that The Wind Waker, particularly in the West, received for its brightly colored, cel-shaded art style.

The game was originally planned to release for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005, but was delayed so that Nintendo could expand upon the content and create a port for the Nintendo Wii. The Wii version was released as a launch title in November 2006 in North America, and was released the following month in Japan, Europe, and Australia; the GameCube version was released in December 2006, as the final first-party title on the console. Upon release, Twilight Princess received critical acclaim and won several Game Of The Year awards, being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. It is the second-best selling Zelda game behind Breath of the Wild, having sold over 8.85 million copies as of 2015, and the Wii port received a "Nintendo Selects" label in 2011. A remaster of the GameCube version, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, was released for the Wii U in March 2016.
