'''Zant''' is the secondary antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
'''Zant''' is the secondary antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Though for most of the game he will in fact appear as the main villain. Zant is a part of the [[Twili]], race who were banished to the [[Twilight Realm]], as a result of their descendents trying to seek domain over the [[Sacred Realm]]. Zant claims himself to be the King of Twilight but his power is a false power, as [[Midna]] is the true leader. Zant during the start of the game seems to be a steady figure, barley showing any emotion nor weaknesses. However during the boss fight he unravels, showing his true personality.

The Twili race where known to be very peaceful and a monarchy was established in order to lead the Twili. Zant had been a loyal servant to the monarchy of the [[Palace of Twilight|Palace]] for many years. Zant was meant to be next in line to ascend to the throne. However it was [[Midna]] who was chosen as the true leader, she was known as the Twilight Princess. Zant, distraught by this news, looked to the heavens for an answer. He was gifted a mysterious foreign power by his supposed God.

This power was gifted to Zant by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. Ganondorf had previously escaped his imprisonment in [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. Due to his failed execution, the remaining sages decided the only option now was to seal Ganondorf into the banished Twilight Relam. Ganondorf housed his power into Zant at one request, that he merge light with shadow, therefore creating complete darkness. Zant took this power and falsely usurped the throne of the Twilight Realm. With this false power, Zant turned its habitants into mindless [[Shadow Beast]]s and Minda into an imp. Zant invaded [[Hyrule Castle]] and forced [[Princess Zelda]] to give up the throne of Hyrule. Zant sent out Shadow Beasts to steal the light from the provinces across Hyrule, thus suspending Hyrule in Twilight.
