====Hyrule plunged into Twilight==== | |||
During Twilight Princess's prologue events, Link, in [[Ordon Village]], prepares to transport the [[Ordon Sword]] to Hyrule Castle. On the day of Link's planned departure, numerous shadow beasts appeared throughout Hyrule and stole the light of the light spirits in Hyrule, which allowed the land to succumb to [[twilight]]. All creatures of the light world are transformed into spirits in the twilight, and they are unaware of the reality of their surroundings. Link, however, is transformed into a sacred wolf - a sign to [[Midna]] that he is the chosen hero she seeks to aid her in her own quest for vengeance against [[Zant]]. She assists Link in reaching the tower of Hyrule Castle where Zelda resides so that Link can learn the reality of the darkness over Hyrule. | |||
Like Link, Zelda is not transformed into a spirit in the twilight but remains a Hylian as the Princess of Hyrule Castle. Upon meeting Link, she tells Link the tale of how Zant launched a raid on Hyrule Castle with the assistance of several [[Shadow Beast|shadow beasts]]. Zant quickly defeated the throne room's garrison and ushered Zelda an ultimatum to surrender or die. Zelda, fearful for the welfare of the people of her kingdom, surrendered to Zant who then plunged the land of Hyrlue into twilight. | |||
====Zelda's Sacrifice==== | |||
After Link retrieves the three [[Fused Shadow|Fused Shadows]] for Midna, Zant appears and casts a curse on Link which prevents him from returning to Hylian form when not in Twilight. After Midna refuses to assist Zant conquer the world of light, he mortally wounds her by exposing her to light. Immediately after this, the [[Light Spirit]] [[Lanayru (Light Spirit)|Lanayru]] transports Link and Midna from Zant's presence, and the injured Minda tells Link to hurry to Princess Zelda. | |||
After reaching Zelda, Midna pleads with Zelda to help break the new curse on Link and tells her that he is needed to save the world of light. Zelda informs Link and Midna that the curse on Link was caused by an evil power which can only be cleaved by the sacred blade of evil's bane, the [[Master Sword]]. She goes on to tell them to search for the Master Sword in the [[Sacred Grove]] behind [[Faron Woods]]. | |||
Midna asks Link if he can reach the sacred grove alone then asks Zelda to tell him where the [[Mirror of Twilight]] is. Zelda suddenly realizes Midna's importance and desire to help them protect the world of light. Zelda then passes her life energy into Midna to heal her and subsequently disappears. | |||
====Battle with Ganondorf==== | |||
After acquiring the four shards of the Mirror of Twilight and defeating Zant, Link and Midna return to Hyrule Castle for a third time to confront [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. Upon reaching the castle tower, Zelda's body is locked motionless above Ganondorf on the throne of Hyrule Castle. Ganondorf reveals to Link that after he was banished to the void, he used the hatred of the people of the Twilight Realm as nourishment to grow strong again. He then manipulated Zant to open the path to return to the world of light and usurp control over Hyrule. | |||
Zelda's body is then used by Ganondorf as a puppet in battle against Link. After Link defeats the puppet Zelda and the beast Ganon, Zelda reawakens as herself; she had been using Midna to harbor her soul. Zelda and Link finally team up against Ganondorf in battle throughout Hyrule field. Zelda uses [[Light Arrow|light arrows]] to stun Ganondorf so that Link can reach him on horseback to attack with the Master Sword.
