Twilight Era: Difference between revisions

After the [[Ancient Sages]] failed to execute Ganondorf, they banished him into an alternate world to Hyrule, known as the [[Twilight Realm]].{{Ref|pg. 113|Thrown into a panic, the remainder of the sages used the Mirror of Twilight to banish Ganondorf to the Twilight Realm.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} It is here where Ganondorf encounters [[Zant]], a member of the [[Twili]]. Zant was previously in line for the throne, but was snubbed, according to [[Midna]], because Zant's eyes showed lust for power; the same lust that got the Twili banished to the Twilight Realm in the first place.{{Ref|TP|1751|[[Midna]]}} Zant looked to the heavens for an answer and this is where he encountered his supposed god, Ganondorf. The Evil Demon housed his power within Zant at one request: that he merges shadow with light and create darkness.{{Ref|TP|1744\1745|[[Zant]]}}{{Ref|pg. 114|Ganondorf was sent to the Twilight Realm. There, the Demon King granted the ambitious Zant magical powers and began plotting to unite the Light World and the Twilight Realm into a single realm known as the Dark World.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} Zant took this power and usurped the throne of the Twili; he overthrew the current leader, Midna, and turned her into an imp. Zant turned the rest of the realm's inhabitants into mindless [[Shadow Beast]]s and ordered them to steal the light from the provinces within Hyrule. The Usurper King then invaded [[Hyrule Castle]],{{Ref|pg. 114|Zant, now known as the King of Twilight, launched an invasion of Hyrule,...|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} where he forced [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] to give up the throne, thus allowing the perpetual Twilight to shroud the Kingdom.
