After [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] completes the [[Lakebed Temple]], he is transported to [[Lanayru Spring]]. As Link is about to turn to exit the spring, [[Zant]] appears straight in front of him. Cursing [[Lanayru (Light Spirit)|Lanayru the Light Spirit]] into twilight, transforming Link into a wolf once more, Zant threatens [[Midna]]. [[Wolf Link]] intervenes between the two and is struck by a red, glowing orb. As a result, the Shadow Crystal gets stuck inside Link's head.
Shadow Crystals are pieces of black crystal, with orange highlights and an ornate design. They emit an incredibly high concentration of Twilight in their surrounding area, enough to be lethal to [[Hyrulean|Hyruleans]].
 
After [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] and [[Midna]] complete the [[Lakebed Temple]] and return to [[Lanayru Spring]], they are ambushed by [[Zant]], who steals the [[Fused Shadows]] from them and uses his dark magic to cover the Spring in Twilight. When [[Wolf Link]] attacks Zant after he gravely wounds Midna, Zant embeds a Shadow Crystal into Link's forehead, trapping him in wolf form. Link is able to remove the Crystal using the [[Master Sword]], and regain his normal body - afterwards, Midna keeps the Shadow Crystal.


Link is thereafter stuck in his lupine form until he draws the [[Master Sword]] from its pedestal in the [[Sacred Grove]]. As Link is about to draw the Master Sword, a pure white light emanates from the Master Sword and returns Link to his [[Hylian]] form, with the Shadow Crystal driven out in the process.
In gameplay, Link can use the Shadow Crystal to transform into his wolf form and back at will. He will also unlock the ability to use [[Twilight Portal|Twilight Portals]] to fast travel across [[Hyrule]].


After Midna recovers it, she realises that it, the remants of Zant's curse, can be used to turn Link into his feral form at will - and, conversely, the Master Sword can return him to normal. This allows Link to freely transform for the remainder of his quest.
