Midna: Difference between revisions

'''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 a small human or 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. Throughout the game, Midna's character changes dramatically. She begins as callous and uncaring 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. When you summon Midna, she appears to come out of your shadow, and she shows a lot of knowledge about Princess Zelda. This is foreshadowing the conclusion of the game, and the reveal of her true form.  

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. As the story progresses, she later ends up developing feelings for Link and the light world, and helps the young hero 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, the leader for the Twili shatters the [[Mirror of Twilight]], breaking the only known connection between the two worlds.
