[[File:Zant Boss.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Zant boss fight]] Zant is one of the longer boss fights in ''Twilight Princess'' and the battle itself is composed of six stages. Each stage of the fight takes place at a different boss battle location, including the Forest Temple, [[Goron Mines]], [[Lakebed Temple]], and more.{{Ref|''Zant Twilight Princess Trading Card''|Zant transports Link to the Forest Temple, Goron Mines, Lakebed Temple, and other locations of previous battles against bosses.|Card Description}}

~~===First Stage===~~

The first stage takes place in the [[Boss]] room from the Forest Temple. This battle is very similar to the [[Diababa]] boss battle from earlier on in the game. Zant hovers around the boss room firing dark energy blasts at Link. Link has to block these attacks using his [[Hylian Shield|Shield]], and then he can equip the [[Gale Boomerang]] and target Zant. This brings Zant down to the surface, leaving Zant prone to attack. After a limited time, Zant warps away, thus Link repeats the original process.

~~===Second Stage===~~

The second stage takes place in the [[Goron Mines]] [[Mini-Boss|mini-boss]] room and is reminiscent of the [[Dangoro]] boss fight. Zant repeatedly stomps the surface, which wobbles the platform. Link can equip the [[Iron Boots]] in order to stay grounded, leading Zant to attack with dark energy blasts. Link simply blocks these with his shield. Once Zant gets tired, Link unequips the boots and attacks Zant.

~~===Third Stage===~~

In the next stage, Zant replicates the [[Morpheel]] boss battle from the [[Lakebed Temple]]. In this area, Link equips both the Iron Boots and the [[Zora Armor]] so he can stay grounded underwater. Zant first appears in a giant version of his helmet. After appearing, he again uses his blast attack. Link can equip the [[Clawshot]] to grab Zant and the attack him when he is close. During the next phase, Zant appears in several giant masks, and once targeted Link uses the clawshot and attacks Zant once again.

~~===Forth Stage===~~

The next stage takes place once again within the Forest Temple. However, this time it is [[Ook]]'s stage. Similar to Ook, Zant leaps from platform to platform and he then, once again, powers up his blast attack. Link can avoid the attack and roll into the bottom of the platform to knock Zant down. Zant is then prone to attack. Link has to repeat this process in order to initiate the next stage.

~~===Fifth Stage===~~

The fifth stage takes place in the boss room of [[Blizzeta]], seen in [[Snowpeak Ruins]]. This time Zant increases in size to create a giant version of himself. Link has to use the same tactic that he used against Blizzeta by looking at the reflection on the ice. After dodging Zant, Link equips the [[Ball and Chain]] and strikes the gargantuan Zant. This causes Zant to repeatedly decrease in size, Link has to carefully navigate the slippery surface in order to attack the injured Zant.

~~===Final Stage===~~

The final stage differs from the others as this time Zant does not replicate a previous boss and the fight itself takes place in the courtyard south of [[Castle Town]]. The Usurper King, this time, draws out two blades from under his arms and proceeds to attack the young hero. Zant has two distinct attacks. The first attack includes Zant charging at Link with his twin blades, which Link has to dodge and attack from behind. Another one of Zant's attacks is his spin attack. Link can utilize his shield to repeatedly block Zant's attack. After a while, Zant gets tired from spinning, leaving him open to attack. Zant also warps many times in the duration of this battle, making it harder for Link to go on the offense and evade his attacks. After dealing enough damage, Zant falls to his knees, thus ending this boss battle.
