Twilight Princess Characters: Difference between revisions

Link begins the game as a goat wrangler working at [[Ordon Ranch]], on the edge of [[Ordon Village]], a small settlement just outside [[Hyrule]]. Seemingly well-regarded, he seems to have a romantic relationship with [[Ilia]], the daughter of [[Mayor Bo]]. Link is looked up to by some of the children of Ordon, especially [[Colin]], who wishes to grow up to be just like Link. [[Rusl]], Colin's father, is Link's mentor early in the game.

When Link is in the [[Twilight]], or after obtaining the [[Shadow Crystal]], Midna will ride on top of Wolf Link. While in wolf form, Link uses Midna to reach distant ledges and also uses Midna's charged attack to defeat multiple enemies at once. Midna is also used as a form of transportation. Wolf Link can speak with Midna and she will [[warp]] him to any place where there is a [[Twilight Portal]] in the sky. When Link is in the [[Light World]], Midna disappears into Link's shadow. Early in the game, Midna takes Link on a quest to recover three [[Fused Shadow]]s, only to have them stolen by [[Zant]].

{{main|Zant}}

Zant later attempts to destroy the [[Mirror of Twilight]] but is unable to do so. Instead, he breaks it into four large [[Mirror Shard]]s and scatters three of them throughout Hyrule. Before the battle with Zant, it is revealed that the Usurper King was acting as a tool for his "God", Ganondorf.

Eldin is the [[Light Spirit]] that Link encounters at [[Eldin Spring]], on the outskirts of [[Kakariko Village]]. Eldin's true form is revealed after [[Wolf Link]] gathers enough [[Tears of Light]] to fill the [[Vessel of Light]], banishing the [[Twilight]]. Eldin takes the form of a bird and tells Link to travel to [[Lanayru Province|the land guarded]] by [[Lanayru (Light Spirit)|Lanayru]].

Faron is the [[Light Spirit]] that Link encounters at [[Faron Spring]], within [[Faron Woods#Twilight Princess|Faron Woods]]. Wolf Link first meets Faron in [[Twilight]], with them too weak to take a form. Once Wolf Link gathers enough [[Tears of Light]] to fill the [[Vessel of Light]], banishing the [[Twilight]], Faron can take his true, monkey-like form and speaks to Link. By restoring Faron, Link is also restored to his human self, and Faron highlights that he is now wearing the [[Hero's Clothes]]. Hailing him as the hero chosen by the gods, the Light Spirit directs him to take the [[Fused Shadow]] piece from the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]] to match [[Zant]]'s power.

When Zant appears and attacks Midna and Link near the spring, Lanayru appears and tries to attack Zant. Lanayru doesn't succeed but successfully [[warp]]s Link and Midna outside the spring to Hyrule Field.

Ordona is the first [[Light Spirit]] that Link encounters and is located at the [[Ordon Spring]]. Link reveals Ordona's true form after defeating [[Shadow Beast]]s near the spring. Ordona resembles an Ordon goat and tells Link of the other three Spirits. Ordona also mentions a bit about Zant, and his desires to take over the world.  Ordona doesn't seem to be as important as the other three spirits. Lanayru, one of the other spirits, refers to the spirits as three and not four, inferring that Ordona is not responsible for the protection of Hyrule. This could be because Ordona Province is actually just an outskirt area and not actually a part of Hyrule.

{{main|Prince Ralis}}

Once recovered, Prince Ralis is not confident that he will be able to rule over the Zora as their king. Link finds him at his parents' grave, and helps the prince out, giving him the confidence needed to return to Zora's Domain. Prince Ralis is an excellent [[Reekfish]] angler and he gives Link the [[Coral Earring]], which will allow Link to catch Reekfish. After giving the lure, Ralis will return to Zora's Domain to begin his rule.
