Also in this scene, she shows her placing the first part of the [[Fused Shadow]] on her head, along with a foul smile. She continues by explaining her motives in befriending Link: it was because in her world they believed the Hero would appear as a divine beast,{{Ref|TP|1695|Midna}} exactly as Link looked. She only cared about returning her world to normal.{{Ref|TP|1697|Midna}} She continues by telling Link that her motives changed once she saw the sacrifices Link and [[Zelda]] made — she now understands that both worlds must be saved, not just hers. She concludes by motivating Link to continue, not for her, but for Zelda and all of the [[Light World]].{{Ref|TP|1699-1702|Midna}} The cutscene concludes with the Sages vanishing into thin air, which is also the last time they are seen. | ||
