| Link is the hero and primary protagonist of ''Twilight Princess'', where he is a ripe seventeen-year-old boy.{{Ref|name=Quote1|''Twilight Princess Trading Cards''|Link is a 17-year-old wrangler from Ordon Woods, a quiet village in the far corner of Hyrule.|Card Description}} He works as a rancher, and lives in [[Ordon Woods]].{{Ref|name=Quote1}} He is dressed in a multi-colored shirt and pants, and sandals. He buys a [[slingshot]] and shows it off to the kids when a [[Monkey]] comes and [[Malo]], [[Talo]], and [[Beth]] run after the monkey. Talo keeps running after the monkey, while Malo and Beth get left behind. Link has to find Talo and the monkey. After he saves Talo and the monkey he returns to Ordon Village. The next day he prepares to go off for [[Hyrule Castle]] to deliver a gift, but [[Ilia]] notices a cut on his horse, [[Epona]], and yells at him. Link must then go to [[Ordon Spring]] in order to retrieve his horse. After taking a secret passageway to get past the locked gate, Link reunites with Epona. But then the gate bursts open and a [[Bulblin]] knocks Link unconscious. [[King Bulblin|Their leader]] then kidnaps Ilia and [[Colin]] and blows his horn, causing a portal to open. Link then wakes up and notices the children gone. Frantically, he runs after them, only to run into a huge black wall preventing him from proceeding. A monster pulls him through the wall into [[Faron Province]], which is now covered in [[Twilight]]. This causes him to transform into a sacred [[Wolf Link|wolf]]. He meets up with [[Midna]] in the [[Twilight Realm]] who becomes his partner for this game. Link meets Zelda and eventually returns to the light. Throughout the game, Link has to return the [[Tears of Light]] to the [[Light Spirit]]s, and go through three dungeons to get three [[Fused Shadow]]s. As Link progresses through Hyrule, he learns more about [[Midna]], the [[Twili]], and [[Zant]] and how all of the three are associated with one another. After collecting the Fused Shadows, Midna meets a terrible fate and Link becomes cursed to permanently roam as a wolf. He helps Midna visit [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]], who entrusts him to save the [[Hyrule|Kingdom of Hyrule]] from the tyranny of Zant, and tells Link a way to transform back into a human. He acquires the [[Master Sword]], removing his curse, and travels to the [[Gerudo Desert]] to seek the [[Mirror of Twilight]], which he finds has been broken by Zant. He then has to repair the [[Mirror of Twilight]] that was broken into four pieces. Once he does so, he has access to the Palace of Twilight. He goes there to defeat [[Zant]] and save [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] from the Twilight. He eventually goes on to confront his old nemesis, [[Ganon]]dorf and defeats him, bringing peace to Hyrule. In the end credits, he is seen riding away on his horse, leaving the Faron Woods to an unknown location, also leaving the [[Master Sword]] back in its pedestal. His role in Twilight Princess ranges from many things, but he ultimately strives to help Midna in reclaiming her power and helping her people.

| }}'''Wolf Link''' is the alternate form of [[Link]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. When Link enters the [[Twilight]], the [[Triforce of Courage]] changes him into this form so that he does not become a spirit, as other people do.

| Wolf Link can use his senses to see these spirits, or areas where he can dig. He is also faster than Link's [[Hylian]] form. [[Midna]] often rides on his back in this form, unless he is in sunlight. Eventually, Link gains the [[Shadow Crystal]] and, between this and the [[Master Sword]], is able to turn into a wolf at any time. This becomes extremely useful, as this is the only way Link is able to freely [[warp]], unless there are other people nearby, in which case Midna will not allow Link to transform or warp, Link attacks by jumping and biting. Link can also lunge at enemies and latch onto some. Once latched on, Link can proceed to bite viciously until the enemy knocks him off.

| Wolf Link is unable to use any items; however, he is able to use his senses. He uses this ability to track down smells, including [[Scent of Ilia|Ilia's Scent]], and the scent of the [[Ordonian]] children. Additionally, many NPC's are afraid of Wolf Link, and will scream and run or cower in fear if he appears in the Light World. If Link scares the guards in [[Castle Town]], they'll drop their weapons. The best place to do this is around the fountain.

| Wolf Link also features the unique ability to charge an attack and release it to instantly kill nearly any enemy caught in the area of effect. This is done by releasing the power of Midna's [[Fused Shadow]].

| Wolf Link was announced as being present in ''Breath of the Wild'' during Nintendo's E3 Presentation in 2016. The player can summon Wolf Link to act as a guardian for Link, with its own health pool. Wolf Link can be obtained by tapping the [[Amiibo|Wolf Link Amiibo]] on the Wii U or Switch system.

| '''Midna''' is the secondary protagonist and the guide character in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. For much of the game, Midna takes the form of an imp-like creature. It is later revealed that this is not her true form and is part of curse placed on her by [[Zant]]. {{Ref|pg. 114|A curse placed upon [Midna] by Zant causes her to physically transform and lose her magical abilities.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}}{{Ref|name=curse}}
| | |Did you notice the number 13 there?That means there are 12 more stone tablets to be found.If a royal chamberlain really left these...It's an interesting perspective on the day-to-day life of the era. One which the history books don't mention.There's so much we could learn here of King Rauru, Queen Sonia, or even this curious woman named Zelda.Twelve stone tablets left... Fascinating. |

| Midna is the only character in ''Twilight Princess'' to have voice acting. However, she does not speak in any particular language, just incomprehensible sounds for effect. Throughout the game, Midna's character changes dramatically. She begins as callous, uncaring and patronising, and tries to use [[Link]] for her own good, but she soon realizes that Link is more than just a tool; she values him and [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] as friends and her character becomes warmer. Midna possesses one piece of the [[Fused Shadow]] before she meets Link.

| ==Role in Story==
| | |Link? I can see the excitement on your face clear as day. Have you already found something |
| Midna is first seen spying on Link from behind a tree in the [[Twilight]]-engulfed [[Faron Woods]] when Link first transforms into his [[Wolf Link|Wolf]] form. By the end of the game, it is revealed that Midna is in fact the ''Twilight Princess''. She is from the [[Twilight Realm]] and is the ruler of it and the [[Twili]] race that dwell there. She originally joins Link on his quest so that she can acquire the three fragments of the Fused Shadow, defeat Zant, and reclaim her throne. When these are taken away from her by Zant, she tries to take Link to the Twilight Realm to avenge him, only to find the Mirror of Twilight broken into shards. The Ancient Sages inform Midna and Link that only the true leader of the Twilight Realm could shatter the Mirror of Twilight, Zant could merely break it into pieces.So Midna and Link go in search of the other three pieces of the Mirror of Twilight.

| | |
| As the story progresses, she later ends up developing feelings for Link and the Light World, and helps him defeat [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]. After doing so, she transforms back into her true form. After saying goodbye to Link, she re-enters the Twilight Realm to once again lead her people. However, in the process of her departure, she shatters the [[Mirror of Twilight]], proving herself the true leader of the Twilight Realm, yet breaking the only known connection between the two worlds in the process.
