Link and Midna now are able to access the Twilight Realm and confront Zant. Upon entering the realm, Link has to restore the two Sols to the plaza.

The Master Sword now becomes the [[Light Sword]] and it allows Link to clear up the shadows that block the entrance to Zant's Palace. Link now advances to the Palace to confront Zant. Upon entering the throne room, Zant explains his hatred for the Light World, saying they trapped us like insects in a cage and the Twili new desire or hate. He also explain his frustrations with not becoming king and how he was gifted power by his god.

He also explain his frustrations with not becoming king and how he was gifted power by his god, Ganondorf, who ultimately was using Zant.


After Link has defeated Zant, he explains that the curse set up on Midna cannot be broken. It was put on her by his god Ganondorf and now he is reborn in the Light World, Zant proclaims that as long as he lives, that Ganondorf shall resurrect him. It is at this point that Midna uses her restored Fused Shadows to ultimately kill Zant. However, after the defeat of Ganondorf, Zant can be seen snapping his neck upon Ganondorf's death. This could be seen as symbolism of the betrayal.
