Later in the game, upon entering the [[Palace of Twilight]], [[Link]] infuses the Master Sword with light. This light comes from the light sources of the [[Twilight Realm]] known as [[Sol]]s. Once infused with light, the Master Sword can cut through veils of [[twilight]] which normally would transform Link into a wolf upon exposure. The light vanishes from the sword upon leaving the [[Twilight Realm]] but will return to the sword upon reentry.
