Midna is an imp like creature whose background and purpose are unknown throughout most of the game. She is a member of the Twili people who dwell within the [[Twilight Realm]]. She is first seen in the Faron Woods as Link is dragged away in wolf form. Midna then appears within Hyrule Castle and helps wolf Link escape. She acts as a companion for Link throughout his quest.

She is first seen in the Faron Woods as Link is dragged away in wolf form. Midna then appears within Hyrule Castle and helps wolf Link escape. She acts as a companion for Link throughout his quest.  


When Link is in the [[Twilight Realm]], 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 warp portal in the sky. When Link is in the world of light, Midna disappears into Links body. Early in the game, Midna takes Link on a quest to recover three [[Fused Shadow]]s, only to have them stolen by [[Zant]].
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 world of light, Midna disappears into Links body. Early in the game, Midna takes Link on a quest to recover three [[Fused Shadow]]s, only to have them stolen by [[Zant]].


Midna later tries gaining access to the [[Twilight Realm]] only to see that the Mirror of Twilight is broken. This puts Midna and Link on their next quest to find three [[Mirror Shard]]s and enter the world of Twilight. Midna's character goes through quite an evolution throughout the game as her motives have changed because of the selflessness of both Link and Princess Zelda. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Midna is the Twilight Princess and her true form is revealed.

Zant is the leading villain throughout most of the game. He is a member of the Twili race and the self-proclaimed ruler of the Twilight. This garnered the name, Usurper King of the Twilight. Zant invades Hyrule Castle alongside several shadow beings and forces Princess Zelda to surrender. He appears sparingly throughout the game, confronting Midna and Link on several fronts. After gathering the three [[Fused Shadow]]s, Zant steals them from Midna and puts the shadow crystal within Link. This makes Link remain in his wolf form even when in the world of light.

Zant later attempts to destroy the Mirror of Twilight, but is unable to do so, so instead, breaks it into pieces and scatters it throughout Hyrule. Before the battle with Zant, It is revealed that Zant was acting as a tool for his God, Ganondorf.

{{main|Ganon}}
{{main|Ganon}}
Ganondorf is the Gerudo King of Evil and is pivotal to the story of Twilight Princess. A flashback shows Ganondorf was sentenced to death by the sages, prior to the game. Since Ganondorf is one of the chosen ones of the Gods, he was unable to be killed by the sages, but instead, breaks free and kills the Sage of Water. The Sages then use the Mirror of Twilight to banish Ganon into the [[Twilight Realm]].

Later in the game, it is revealed that Ganondorf had influenced Zant to take control of the Twilight Realm. He gave Zant some of his power in return for be allowing to leave the Twilight Realm. Ganondorf makes an appearance in Hyrule Castle near the end of the game where he sits on the throne. Princess Zelda can be found helpless within the same room. This triggers a series of final battles between Ganondorf and Link. The first is when Ganondorf takes control of Zelda and the first battle is with Ganon's Puppet Zelda. Afterwards, Ganon then takes a massive beast form and fights Link a second time.

The Ancient Sages first make an appearance near the mirror chamber at the peak of Arbiter's Grounds. They appear in ethereal form and a cut-scene is shown where they attempt to execute Ganondorf using the Sword of the Sages. They fail at this endeavor and Ganondorf kills the Sage of Water. In desperation, the Sages then used the Mirror of Twilight to banish Ganondorf into the [[Twilight Realm]].

King Bulblin is one of the common villains within the game. He is first encountered in the Ordon Spring, where he comes riding in with Lord Bullbo, his boar like creature.

King Bulblin is later seen within Kakariko Village, once again riding Lord Bullbo. He runs straight towards Beth, but ends up capturing Colin instead. King Bulblin ends up becoming a repeat mini-boss, where Link battles him on the Bridge of Eldin, the Great Bridge of Hylia, the Bulblin Base, and within the Hyrule Castle courtyard. After his final defeat, King Bulblin shows his humanity, by speaking to Link, saying that he serves the strongest side. In the end credits, King Bulblin is shown riding throughout Hyrule Field. His horns have grown back indicating that he is at peace with Hyrule.

Lanayru is the Spirit of Light that Link encounters at the spring near Lake Hylia. Lanayru takes the form of a snake after the vessel of light is filled. Lanayru is perhaps the most important of the spirits as it has its own shrine within Lake Hylia. Many local Hylians have been known to visit Lanayru to pay their respect for the spirit. Lanayru explains that the power of the [[Fused Shadow]]s was created by dark magic wielders. He explains that the spirits of light sealed this magic into the Fused Shadows and then banished the dark magic wielders into the [[Twilight Realm]].

When Zant appears and attacks Midna and Link near the spring, Lanayru appears and tries to attack Zant. Lanayru doesn't succeed but successfully warps Link and Midna outside the spring to Hyrule Field. Lanayru is seen alongside the other three spirits at the end of the game when Princess Zelda summons the spirits to make the light arrows. After Link meets the Great Fairy at the 40th floor of the Cave of Ordeals, fairies are released at the Lanayru spring in Lake Hylia.

Link can use Ooccoo as a warping device within dungeon to easily return to a specific spot within a dungeon. Link uses Ooccoo in a dungeon and is then taken outside. From there Link can use Ooccoo once again to return to the exact location within the dungeon.

Ooccoo Jr. is a member of the Ooccoo tribe and the son of Ooccoo. When Link uses Ooccoo to warp out of the temple, Ooccoo Jr. will stay with you. Link can use Ooccoo Jr. to return to Ooccoo. It appears that the children of Ooccoo are nothing more than a head floating around.

Rusl is around 30 years of age and acts as a mentor towards Link early on in the game. Rusl is the husband of Uli and the father of Colin. Rusl and Uli are having a second child, who is an unnamed baby. At the start of the game, Rusl entrusts Link with a duty of delivering a special gift to Hyrule Castle. Rusl can be seen early in the game slashing his sword around, honing his skills, indicating he is a knowledge swordsman. Rusl delivers Link his first sword in the game, the wooden sword.

Rusl is injured early on in the game when monsters come to the village and take away the children. Link later finds out that Rusl is one of the members of the resistance in Telma's Bar. He is covered in armor though and only shows himself to Link if he is spoken to multiple times. As part of the group, he helps Link stay on his path to find the mirror shards. Rusl makes an appearance outside of the Forest Temple and gives Link a golden cucco which allows him to reach the Sacred Grove as a human and eventually the Temple of Time.

Once Link reaches the bedroom Yeta transforms into the Twilit Ice Mass: Blizzeta. After the boss battle, Yeta seems to have broken away from the curse of the Mirror Shard and Yeto runs to the room. Together they hug each other and all seems to be well.

Yeto and Yeta can be seen later on Peak Province and Link can challenge Yeto to an ice boarding race to the mansion. Once he beats Yeto he can challenge his wife Yeta. Yeats is much faster than Yeto and Link will need to take the short-cut in order to beat her.
