Zant had been a loyal servant to the monarchy of the [[Palace of Twilight|Palace]] for many years. Zant was meant to be next in line to ascend to the throne. However it was [[Midna]] who was chosen as the true leader, she was known as the Twilight Princess. Zant, distraught by this news, looked to the heavens for an answer. He was gifted a mysterious foreign power by his supposed God. | ||
This power was gifted to Zant by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. Ganondorf had previously escaped his imprisonment in [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. Due to his failed execution, 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 usurped the throne of the Twilight Realm. With this false power, Zant turned its habitants into mindless [[Shadow Beast]]s and Minda into an imp. Zant invaded [[Hyrule Castle]] and forced [[Princess Zelda]] to give up the throne of Hyrule.

Midna assisted him in reaching the tower where Princess Zelda resided. She tells Link about how Zant, and how the King of Twilight invaded the Castle where she was forced to give up the throne. Zelda also explains to Link how Hyrule is covered in perpetual Twilight, and all of its inhabitants have turned into spirits, who know only fear.{{Ref|TP|2178|[[Princess Zelda]]}}{{Ref|TP|2179|[[Princess Zelda]]}}{{Ref|TP|2180|[[Princess Zelda]]}} Later on in the game, after restoring the light to [[Faron Province]], the Light Spirit, [[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]], tells Link about a dark power that lies in the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]].{{Ref|TP|1339|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}}{{Ref|TP|1340|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}} This is a piece of the Fused Shadows, and Faron tells Link that he must use this power to defeat the King of the Shadows, Zant.{{Ref|TP|1341|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}}{{Ref|TP|1342|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}} | ||
Link | Link first encounters Zant after collecting the third and final piece of the Fused Shadows, from the [[Lakebed Temple]].{{Ref|TP|2183|[[Princess Zelda]]}} Zant will halt Link and Midna as they exit. The Light Spirit, [[Lanayru (Light Spirit)|Lanayru]], will try to intervene, but Zant will once again steal the light, thus restoring Twilight to the province. Zant also takes the Fused Shadows from Midna, calling them an old and withered power. He then proclaims that his power is new and was granted to him by his God. Wolf Link will try to attack Zant, but in the process, Zant uses his dark powers to curse Link, meaning he is now suspended in beast form. Zant then goes onto tell Midna of his desires, and that darkness and light will meet at last. He will then ask Midna to aid him. After Midna refuses to aid Zant, he manipulates Lanayru to return Midna to the Light World, leaving Midna to a near inch of death. | ||
Later on in the plot Link and Midna will find the whereabouts of the Mirror of Twilight, hidden within Arbiter's Grounds. This is the only connection to the Twilight Realm and Zant but Link will have to pass through the dungeon to get to the [[Mirror Chamber]]. Upon navigating through the dungeon Link will find the remains of of a skeletal being covered in sand. Zant will appear and pull out the Twilight Sword and thrust into the skull of the remains. This will bring the seemingly dead being to life and this will be the forth boss of the game [[Stallord]]. Upon defeating Stallord, Link will make is way up to the Mirror Chamber, only to find it is broken. The Sages will tell this was the work of Zant and that it was their fault that Zant was allowed to gain power. The Sages will tell Link that they sealed Ganondorf in the Twilight Realm when he escaped and that they think this could be the source of Zant's power. | Later on in the plot Link and Midna will find the whereabouts of the Mirror of Twilight, hidden within Arbiter's Grounds.
