Ancient Sages: Difference between revisions

The second encounter of the Ancient Sages comes once Link has collected the final [[Mirror Shard]] from the [[City in the Sky]]. Once Link has [[warp]]ed to the Mirror Chamber, the Sages apologize to [[Midna]] for allowing Ganondorf to enter the [[Twilight Realm]], revealing Midna's status as the ''Twilight Princess''.{{Ref|TP|1691-1692|Ancient Sages}} This gets a lengthy explanation from Midna, which starts with her being surprised the Sages knew.{{Ref|TP|1693|[[Midna]]}} She continues by saying that because she fled her people she is not qualified to forgive the Sages for their wrong-doing.{{Ref|TP|1694|Midna}} She shows Link a scene of [[Zant]] placing a curse on her, changing her from her normal form to her current one. Also in this scene, she shows her placing the first part of the [[Fused Shadow]] on her head, along with a foul smile. She continues by explaining her motives in befriending Link: it was because in her world they believed the Hero would appear as a divine beast,{{Ref|TP|1695|Midna}} exactly as Link looked. She only cared about returning her world to normal.{{Ref|TP|1697|Midna}} She continues by telling Link that her motives changed once she saw the sacrifices Link and [[Zelda]] made - she now understands that both worlds must be saved, not just hers. She concludes by motivating Link to continue, not for her, but for Zelda and all of the [[Light World]].{{Ref|TP|1699-1702|Midna}} The cutscene concludes with the Sages vanishing into thin air, which is also the last time they are seen.
