Twilight Realm: Difference between revisions

| inhab    = [[Twili]]<br>[[Midna]]<br>[[Zant]]

This power was gifted to Zant by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. Ganondorf was sent to [[Arbiter's Grounds]] to be executed, but the execution failed and Ganondorf was able to break free. Ganondorf charged at one of the [[Ancient Sages]] thus killing the water sage. In response to this action, the remaining sages decided the only option now was to seal Ganondorf into the banished Twilight Relam. Ganondorf housed his power into Zant at one request, that he merge light with shadow, therefore creating complete darkness. Zant took this power and falsely ruled the Twilight Realm, turning its habitants into mindless [[Shadow Beast]]s and Midna into a helpless imp. He also merged the twilight realm with the light world as was Ganondorf's request.  

In the game, [[Link]] first encounters the Twilight Realm after he is attacked by [[King Bulblin]]. He wakes up after being unconscious to find a Wall of Twilight, he is then dragged through into the Twilight of [[Faron Province]] by a Shadow Beast. Due to Link being the chosen hero, he is transformed into a divine beast, [[Wolf Link]]. The beast was then taken to [[Hyrule Castle]], where he is imprisoned. Once waking up inside the jail, Link is chained to the wall, this is when he first encounters Midna. She helps Link escape from the jail and teams up with him to reach the princess. When reaching the room of [[Princess Zelda]], she then tells Link and Midna about Zant and how she was forced to surrender, thus how the world has been transformed into a world of shadows.

Later on in the game, Link has to restore the Mirror of Twilight by finding the three missing [[Mirror Shard]]s. This allows him access to the Twilight Realm, where he is tasked with taking down the ruler of Twilight, Zant. Upon entering the realm Link has to return the two Sols to the plaza. Once the Sols have been returned to their original position it powers up Link's [[Master Sword]], giving him the power to drive away darkness. The [[Light Sword]] gifts Link the ability to transform the harmless Twili from Shadow Beasts to their natural form. It also allows Link to clear up the shadows that block the entrance to Zant's Palace. Link is now be able to confront Zant and thus the boss battle takes place. Once defeated, Midna uses the power of the now complete Fused Shadows to ultimately kill Usurper King.  

During the final events of the game, Ganondorf is defeated by Link and Princess Zelda is saved. The curse that was set on Midna by Zant now fades and the four Light Spirits return Midna to her true form. Upon saying her goodbyes to Link and Zelda, Midna shatteres the Mirror just as she departs. Thus breaking the only known connection between Hyrule and the Twilight Realm.

*The [[Twilight Realm]] bears much resemblance to the concept art of the [[Sacred Realm]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' and [[The Sky]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
