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 (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] alongside several [[Shadow Beast]]s and forces [[Zelda#Twilight Princess|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 [[Light World]].

Zant later attempts to destroy the [[Mirror of Twilight]], but is unable to do so. Instead, he breaks it into four large [[Mirror Shard]]s and scatters three of them throughout Hyrule. Before the battle with Zant, It is revealed that the Usuper King was acting as a tool for his "God", Ganondorf.

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]].  
Once the [[Gerudo]] "Great King of Evil", Ganondorf was captured and sent for execution in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]] many years before the events of ''Twilight Princess''. However, owing to a "[[Child Ending|divine prank]]" he had been "[[Triforce of Power|blessed with the chosen power of the gods]]". This revealed itself during the attempted execution by the [[Ancient Sages]], allowing him to break free. Immediately, he killed the Sage of Water and threatened to escape. Panicking, the remaining Sages then used the [[Mirror of Twilight]] to banish him to 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 (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] near the end of the game where he sits on the throne. [[Zelda#Twilight Princess|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.  
In more recent times, he appeared to [[Zant]] as a blazing head of flame. Despairing at being passed over for rulership of the [[Twili]], Zant was easily manipulated by Ganondorf. With Ganondorf's power backing him, Zant usurped [[Midna]] and invaded the [[Light World]], giving Ganondorf access to [[Hyrule]] once more.


Midna sends Zelda and Link out of Hyrule Castle after the second battle, indicating she will finish Ganon off. Unfortunately that doesn't happen as even the power of the [[Fused Shadow]] is not enough to defeat Ganon. The next phase of the final battle takes place on horseback. Link and Zelda ride around on [[Epona]] and Princess Zelda shoots Light Arrows at Ganondorf, stunning him and allowing link to slash at him with his sword. The final battle takes place when a ring of fire surrounds Link and Ganon in the middle of Hyrule Field. After a long sword duel Link thrusts his sword through the body of Ganondorf, presumably killing him in the process.
Ultimately, Link and Midna find him in the throne room of [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]], with [[Zelda]]'s lifeless body on display as a trophy. Challenging them, he [[Puppet Zelda|takes control of Zelda]] and uses her body to attack. When Midna drives him out, he reforms as the Dark Beast Ganon and faces [[Wolf Link]]. Defeated again, he takes his flaming head form. Seeing this, Midna sends Link and the revived Zelda away and battles Ganondorf alone using the [[Fused Shadow]]. While the fight destroys Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf emerges victorious on horseback, with Midna's helmet as a trophy.

With the blade of evil's bane embedded in him, and his link with Zant abruptly broken, Ganondorf dies.

Beth is one of the children of [[Ordon Village]] and the daughter of [[Hanch]] and [[Sera]]. She is somewhere between 8 and 11 years of age and can be found hanging around [[Malo]] and [[Talo]] during the early portions of the game. While she can be seen with Malo and Talo, she often thinks of them being quite immature. Beth seems to tease [[Colin]], believing that he is not up to being the hero that he dreams to be. Beth seemingly has a crush on Link early on the game. Beth has aspirations to one day leave the village and live a life as a city girl in town.

When the kids were taken to [[Kakariko Village]], [[King Bulblin]] appears, riding [[Lord Bullbo]] - his massive boar like creature - directly at Beth is standing. Colin heroically jumps in and pushes her out of the way, saving her from any harm. This leads Beth to turn her crush away from Link and towards Colin. Beth is also good friends with [[Renado]]'s daughter [[Luda]] in Kakariko Village.

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 (Twilight Princess)|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.
