Twilight Princess Characters

Here, you will find a small guide to the many characters present in Twilight Princess.  Many of these characters hold an important role in the game, so it is important you meant with each.

Zant was driven mad when the Twilit King refused to name him as his successor. He pleaded to the gods for power, and and his evil wishes were answered... but not by the gods. Ganondorf posed as a god and granted Zant powers beyond those of the Twili to help aid in his excape from the Twilight Realm. Zant used the powers to curse Midna and cast her from the Realm, in turn becoming the King of Shadows.

Midna was the princess of the Twilight Realm. When Zant was granted powers by Ganondorf, he cursed Midna and cast her from the Twilight Realm. She is scornful towards Zant and the evil forces in Hyrule. She proves to be the most powerful ally Link could have.

Zelda is the soon to be Queen of Hyrule. Her kingdom was taken by the King of Shadow, who in exchange for the lives of her people, was banished to her castle. Princess Zelda is brave and confident, even through troubled times. She also retains powers granted to her by the goddesses of Hyrule.

Link is a wrangler in Ordon Village, a small town in Ordon Woods. Link is often astonished by Ilia, the village Mayor's daughter. Living in a small, quiet village, Link often finds himself the amusement to the children of the village, and a good helping hand all around.

In areas afflicted by shadow and Twilight, the Tears of Shadow are in the form of bugs.  Because the Light spirit no longer has them, everything in the area is in the shape of spirits of has turned evil.  Because Link was chosen by the gods, he is turned into a blue eyed beast, a Wolf.  Once you return the Tears of Light in an area, you will no longer be Wolf Link.
