'''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}}

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 that were scrambled from the original lines. Throughout the game, Midna's character changes dramatically. She begins as callous, uncaring, and patronizing and tries to use [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] for her good, but she soon realizes that Link is more than just a tool; she values him and [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] as friends and her character becomes warmer. Midna possesses one piece of the [[Fused Shadow]] before she meets Link.

==Role in Story==

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 the ''Twilight Princess''. She is from the [[Twilight Realm]] and is the ruler of it and the [[Twili]] race that dwells 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, he banishes her to the light world where Midna's Desperate Hour sequence occurs. Zelda sacrifices her spirit to save Midna, and after this, they head to the Arbiter's Grounds. Once inside the Mirror Chamber, 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, those being Snowpeak, Temple of Time, and City in the Sky.
