{{Main|Phantom Zant}}

The [[Mini-Boss]] of the Palace of Twilight is known as [[Phantom Zant]]. Link will in fact fight Phantom Zant twice, both times he is protecting a [[Sol]]. The battles mainly consists of Phantom Zant constantly disappearing and reappearing at random spots around the room. His main attack is to summon a [[Twilit Ball]] that will create a [[Warp Portal]]. These Warp Portals will release a large number of either [[Shadow Keese]], [[Twilit Baba]], or [[Shadow Vermin]]s. The best strategy is to defeat the enemies and then look around the room for Phantom Zant and then attack him. Defeating him will allow Link entrance to the Sol, which is being held on to by [[Zant's Hand]].

{{Main|Zant}}

The [[Boss]] of the Palace of Twilight is known as [[Zant|Usurper King: Zant]]. Being one of the final bosses of the game, Zant puts up a pretty good fight against Link. Up to this point, Link has only ever seen Zant in person twice; the first time would be directly after Link defeats [[Morpheel]] for the final [[Fused Shadow]], where he takes away the recently-gained Fused Shadow and curses both [[Midna]] and Link. The second time was right before Link defeated [[Stallord]], where Zant revived Stallord in hope it would kill Link. This is the third, and last, time Link will meet up with Zant. Upon entrance to the Boss Chamber, which looks a lot like a throne room, Zant will tell Link his story; how he overthrew Midna for the crown with his borrowed [[Triforce of Power]], how he plans to merge the light and dark world to create shadows, which he will rule. After he is done, they ingage in a battle, one that is unlike any Link has been involved in. There are six different phases in this battle and each one takes place in a previous Boss or [[Mini-Boss]] room. The only exception is the final phase, which takes place in [[South Hyrule Field]]. After Zant has been defeated, he will call Link and Midna traitors, and tell Midna she will never be able to return to her true form. Midna erupts with anger, and finishes off Zant once and for all. She takes the Fused Shadows, and tells Link they must go find Zant's "God", whom he told them is in the Light World. They leave, having ridding them of Zant for good.

The Palace of Twilight houses the same four Dungeon Items that every [[Dungeon]] in [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]] has; the Dungeon Map, the Compass, the Big Key, and the Small Keys. There is one of each of these, the only exception being the Small Keys, where there is a "Twilight Princess" record seven (7) Small Keys.

The [[Dungeon Map]] has been a standard Dungeon Item in every 3-D Zelda game since the first 3-D Zelda game, [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]. It is basically a map of the dungeon that shows every room, of every floor of the dungeon. It is great for reverence when Link gets lost and for seeing all the rooms that have yet to be searched. It is found in a [[Treasure Chest]] that can be found on the way to the second Sol.

The [[Compass]] has multiple different uses, all in which are very helpful. Firstly, the Compass can detect the location of every Treasure Chest in the dungeon, as well as the Boss of the dungeons location. It is found in one of the first Treasure Chests Link will find on his way to the first Sol.

The [[Big Key]] is used to unlock the door that leads to the throne room, where the [[Boss]] of the Palace of Twilight, [[Zant]], lies. It can be found in a Treasure Chest that is at the later end of the dungeon, in the outdoor room just before the Boss room.

There is an abundance of [[Small Key]]s located in the Palace of Twilight, seven (7) to be exact. They are all used to unlock the seven locked doors that block Link's way through the dungeon. If Link opens a Treasure Chest in the Palace of Twilight, there is a 40% chance he will find a Small Key, which is a rather large number for one of the Dungeon Items.

There are seventeen (17) [[Treasure Chest]]s located in the Palace of Twilight. Link can open these chests to gain a variety of items that can greatly help him on his quest to save [[Hyrule]]. These items include [[Rupee]]s, Dungeon Items and [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]].

There are a grand total of five (5) Treasure Chests located in the Palace of Twilight that contain any amount of Rupees. The first of these chests contain a single [[Orange Rupee]]. In [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]], an Orange Rupee is worth a hundred (100) rupees. The remaining four Treasure Chests all hold a single [[Purple Rupee]] which is worth 50 rupees. In total, Link can collect 300 rupees in total the Palace of Twilight.

All four of the Dungeon Items can be found in a Treasure Chest. The Dungeon Items include one [[Dungeon Map]], one [[Compass]], one [[Big Key]], and all seven (7) [[Small Key]]s.

{{Main|Twilight Princess Heart Pieces}}

The Palace of Twilight houses two [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], exactly like every other dungeon in [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]. Both of the Heart Pieces require the [[Light Sword]] to reach.
