====Zant's Story====
Once Link has gathered all the Mirror Shards, entered the [[Palace of Twilight]], and confronted Zant, he will again hear more of how Zant got his powers.

====Confrontation====
====Confrontation====
Ganon is finally confronted by Link at the very end of ''Twilight Princess'', where he is physically seen for the first time. This confrontation happens at the highest tower of [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]], in the [[Throne Room]].

After Link completes the four and final phase of the battle by stabbing Ganon in the middle of his chest with the [[Master Sword]], Ganon states his final words. He says to Link to not think that this is the end.<ref>{{Cite|TP|1819|Ganon}}</ref> He explains that the history of light and shadow will be written in blood.<ref>{{Cite|TP|1820|Ganon}}</ref> The scenes continues by showing the Triforce of Power leave Ganon, at which point Zant will appear, in more of an image rather then physically. He leans his head to the right, with a crack. This seemingly ends Ganon, as his eyes roll to the back of his head, and he seizes movement, yet still standing. This is the end of Ganon in ''Twilight Princess'', but it is unconfirmed if he died or not.
