==Main Characters== | |||
===Link=== | |||
[[File:Link-Twilight-Princess.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Link (Twilight Princess)}} | |||
Link begins the game as a goat wrangler working at [[Ordon Ranch]], on the edge of [[Ordon Village]], a small settlement just outside [[Hyrule]]. Seemingly well-regarded, he seems to have a romantic relationship with [[Ilia]], the daughter of [[Mayor Bo]]. Link is looked up to by some of the children of Ordon, especially [[Colin]], who wishes to grow up to be just like Link. [[Rusl]], Colin's father, is Link's mentor early in the game. | |||
{{ | |||
Link's adventure leads him to navigate all of Hyrule as well as the [[Twilight Realm]]. Transformed into [[Wolf Link|a wolf]] when dragged into the [[Twilight]], Link is freed by [[Midna]], who acts as Link's companion throughout his quest. Link sets off on a journey to find three [[Fused Shadow]] pieces, [[Mirror Shard|three shards]] of the [[Mirror of Twilight]], and to save [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] and the kingdom of Hyrule. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Wolf Link=== | |||
[[File:Wolf-Link-Midna-Art.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Wolf Link}} | |||
Wolf Link is the form that Link takes when he enters the world of [[Twilight]]. Rather than use his deep inventory of weaponry, but instead, relies on his animal instincts, teeth and claws. In this form, he can use his senses to view spirits in the [[Twilight Realm]], discover strange scents and find secret holes. He can also dig through loose patches of soil, which allows him to reach several secret areas and many previously unreachable areas, and is able to speak with many animals throughout the land. | |||
In [[Twilight]], and always after [[Zant]]'s attack following the [[Lakebed Temple]], Link's companion Midna will accompany him on his back in wolf form. Once Link gains the [[Master Sword]], he also gains the [[Shadow Crystal]], which allows Link to transform from a human to a wolf at almost any point in time. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Midna=== | |||
[[File:Midna2.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Midna}} | |||
Midna is an imp-like creature whose background and purpose are unknown throughout most of the game. She is a member of the [[Twili]] people who dwell within the [[Twilight Realm]]. She is first seen in the [[Faron Woods#Twilight Princess|Faron Woods]] as Link is dragged away in wolf form. Midna then appears within [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] and helps [[Wolf Link]] escape. She acts as a companion for Link throughout his quest. | |||
When Link is in the [[Twilight]], or after obtaining the [[Shadow Crystal]], Midna will ride on top of Wolf Link. While in wolf form, Link uses Midna to reach distant ledges and also uses Midna's charged attack to defeat multiple enemies at once. Midna is also used as a form of transportation. Wolf Link can speak with Midna and she will [[warp]] him to any place where there is a [[Twilight Portal]] in the sky. When Link is in the [[Light World]], Midna disappears into Link's shadow. Early in the game, Midna takes Link on a quest to recover three [[Fused Shadow]]s, only to have them stolen by [[Zant]]. | |||
Midna later tries gaining access to the Twilight Realm only to see that the [[Mirror of Twilight]] is broken. This puts Midna and Link on their next quest to find three [[Mirror Shard]]s and enter the world of Twilight. Midna's character goes through quite an evolution throughout the game as her motives have changed because of the selflessness of both Link and [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]]. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Midna is the Twilight Princess and her true form is revealed. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Zant=== | |||
[[File:Zant.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Zant}} | |||
Zant is the leading villain throughout most of the game. He is a member of the [[Twili]] race and the self-proclaimed ruler of the Twilight. This garnered the name, Usurper King of the Twilight. Zant invades [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] alongside several [[Shadow Beast]]s and forces [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] to surrender. He appears sparingly throughout the game, confronting Midna and Link on several fronts. After gathering the three [[Fused Shadow]]s, Zant steals them from Midna and puts the [[Shadow Crystal]] within Link. This makes Link remain in his wolf form even when in the [[Light World]]. | |||
Zant later attempts to destroy the [[Mirror of Twilight]] but is unable to do so. Instead, he breaks it into four large [[Mirror Shard]]s and scatters three of them throughout Hyrule. Before the battle with Zant, it is revealed that the Usurper King was acting as a tool for his "God", Ganondorf. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Princess Zelda=== | |||
[[File:Zelda-Twilight-Princess.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Zelda (Twilight Princess)}} | |||
Princess Zelda is the regent of Hyrule. Seemingly imprisoned [[Princess Zelda's Chambers|within her chambers]] in one of the towers of [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]], she appears to remain in her normal form when the world is covered in [[Twilight]]. In her first meeting with Wolf Link, she reveals that she surrendered to Zant in the hope of preserving the lives of the Hyrulean people. | |||
Later, when Midna is on her last breath, Zelda shows that she has "[[Triforce of Wisdom|been granted special powers by the goddesses]]". Scanning Wolf Link with it, she tells him to go to the [[Sacred Grove]] to retrieve the Master Sword and drive out the [[Shadow Crystal|evil power]] which keeps him in wolf form. She then transfers her power to Midna to save the latter's life, against Midna's wishes. In the process, she disappears. | |||
At the end of the game, Zelda's body is seen as a lifeless trophy for Ganondorf in the throne room of Hyrule Castle. Midna tries to revive her, only to find that Ganondorf has possessed her. This triggers several final battles of the game, the first being with [[Puppet Zelda|Ganon's Puppet Zelda]]. After he is driven out, Princess Zelda is later revived for real. The reunion is cut short by Ganondorf's recovery, however, and Midna transports her and Link to [[Hyrule Field]] while she battles Ganondorf, unsuccessfully. On seeing Midna's defeat and the resulting destruction of Hyrule Castle, Princess Zelda summons the four [[Light Spirit]]s to create the [[Light Arrow]]s. She uses these in battle alongside Link to defeat Ganondorf. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Ganondorf=== | |||
[[File:Dark-Lord-Ganondorf.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Ganon}} | |||
Once the [[Gerudo]] "Great King of Evil", Ganondorf was captured and sent for execution in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]] many years before the events of ''Twilight Princess''. However, owing to a "[[Child Ending|divine prank]]" he had been "[[Triforce of Power|blessed with the chosen power of the gods]]". This revealed itself during the attempted execution by the [[Ancient Sages]], allowing him to break free. Immediately, he took the [[Sword of the Six Sages]] from his chest wound, killed the Sage of Water and threatened to escape. Panicking, the remaining Sages then used the [[Mirror of Twilight]] to banish him to the [[Twilight Realm]]. | |||
In more recent times, he appeared to [[Zant]] as a blazing head of flame. Despairing at being passed over for rulership of the [[Twili]], Zant was easily manipulated by Ganondorf. With Ganondorf's power backing him, Zant usurped [[Midna]] and invaded the [[Light World]], giving Ganondorf access to [[Hyrule]] once more. | |||
Ultimately, Link and Midna find him in the throne room of [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]], with [[Zelda]]'s lifeless body on display as a trophy. Challenging them, he [[Puppet Zelda|takes control of Zelda]] and uses her body to attack. When Midna drives him out, he reforms as the Dark Beast Ganon and faces [[Wolf Link]]. Defeated again, he takes his flaming head form. Seeing this, Midna sends Link and the revived Zelda away and battles Ganondorf alone using the [[Fused Shadow]]. While the fight destroys Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf emerges victorious on horseback, with Midna's helmet as a trophy. | |||
The next phase of the final battle takes place on horseback. Link and Zelda ride around on [[Epona]] and Princess Zelda shoots [[Light Arrow]]s at Ganondorf, stunning him and allowing Link to slash at him with his sword. The final battle takes place when a ring of fire surrounds Link and Ganondorf in the middle of Hyrule Field. After a long sword duel Link thrusts the [[Master Sword]] through the body of Ganondorf. With the blade of evil's bane embedded in him, and his link with Zant abruptly broken, Ganondorf dies. | |||

[[File:Agitha.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Agitha}} | |||
Agitha is a little girl who lives in [[Castle Town]] and views herself as the princess of the bug kingdom. She has a passion for [[Golden Bugs|golden bugs]] and has invited all 24 of them to a ball at her castle. There are twelve types of golden bugs, with each coming in pairs, one male and one female. She asks Link to bring the golden bugs that he collects to her house, [[Agitha's Castle]]. For the first golden bug, she will give Link the [[Big Wallet]]. Afterward, she will reward Link with 50 [[rupee]]s for one golden bug and 100 rupees for a golden bug that makes a pair. If Link brings all 24 bugs to her ball, she thanks him and gives him the [[Giant Wallet]]. If Link has golden bugs but doesn't show them to her, she will mention it as Link walks out. | |||
Agitha can be seen outside the south gate of Castle Town searching for bugs during the daytime. She is one of the few people that is not afraid of [[Wolf Link]]. to the point she wants to play with him. At sunset, she will leave to return to her castle. | |||

The Ancient Sages first make an appearance near the mirror chamber at the peak of [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. They appear in ethereal form and a cut-scene is shown where they attempt to execute [[Ganon]]dorf using the [[Sword of the Sages]]. They fail at this endeavor and Ganondorf kills the Sage of Water. In desperation, the Sages then used the [[Mirror of Twilight]] to banish Ganondorf into the [[Twilight Realm]]. | |||

Ashei spots the beast that comes down from [[Snowpeak]] to [[Zora's Domain]] and draws a sketch of him. Link uses this sketch to show to the [[Zora]], who note that the fish that the beast is carrying is known as a [[reekfish]]. Link can later catch a reekfish with the help of [[Prince Ralis]]. | |||

Link encounters Auru at Lake Hylia where he mentions that he believes the evil plaguing Hyrule has something to do with Arbiter's Grounds, a prison deep in the desert that has held Hyrule's worst prisoners. Auru saved [[Fyer]]'s life sometime in the past, which resulted in the latter owing Auru a favor. Auru gives Link [[Auru's Memo|a memo]] to show to Fyer, which tells the [[Human-Cannonball Ride]] owner to launch Link into the desert with [[Cannon#Fyer's Cannon|his large cannon]], allowing Link to gain access to the [[Gerudo Desert]]. | |||

[[File:Barnes.png|180x250px|right]] | |||

Barnes is the owner of the [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]] bomb shop, [[Barnes Bombs]]. Early on in the game, Barnes can be seen hiding with [[Renado]] from the monsters that have come to the village. Barnes Bombs is closed early on because the route to [[Death Mountain#Twilight Princess|Death Mountain]] is closed due to unsteady relations with the [[Goron]]s. Once it opens up Link can purchase his first [[Bomb Bag|bomb bag]] from Barnes. Barnes will offer regular bombs once the store is open, but later in the game [[Water Bomb|water bombs]] and [[bombling]]s become available. If Link does not have a free bomb bag for a new type of bomb, Barnes will buy back unused bombs, albeit at a steep discount. | |||

[[File:Beth.png|180x250px|right]] | |||

She is somewhere between 8 and 11 years of age and can be found hanging around [[Malo]] and [[Talo]] during the early portions of the game. While she can be seen with Malo and Talo, she often thinks of them being quite immature. Beth seems to tease [[Colin]], believing that he is not up to being the hero that he dreams to be. Beth seemingly has a crush on Link early on the game. Beth has aspirations to one day leave the village and live a life as a city girl in town. | |||
When the kids were taken to [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], [[King Bulblin]] appears, riding [[Lord Bullbo]] - his massive boar-like creature - directly at Beth is standing. Colin heroically jumps in and pushes her out of the way, saving her from any harm. This leads Beth to turn her crush away from Link and towards Colin.

===Colin=== | |||
[[File:Colin(TP).png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Colin}} | |||
Colin is one of the children of [[Ordon Village]] and the son of [[Rusl]] and [[Uli]]. Colin is a timed child that is somewhere between 7 and 10 years of age. Colin is much more laid back than the rest of the children of the Village and is very reluctant to take part in any of their more dangerous adventures. Colin is often teased by the other kids in the village because of his timid nature. He views Link and [[Ilia]] as great role models and even says that he'd like to be like Link when he grows up. | |||
Early in the story, Colin makes the [[Fishing Rod|fishing rod]], which he gives to Link. Soon after, Colin and Ilia are both kidnapped by [[King Bulblin]] and taken away. Link eventually finds Colin in [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], where he is being taken care of by [[Renado]]. Colin lives up to his heroic role model when he saves [[Beth]] from the path of King Bulblin, but this causes him to be captured instead. He is later saved by Link after an epic battle in [[Hyrule Field]] and on the [[Bridge of Eldin]]. For some time thereafter Colin can be found within Kakariko Village resting his wounds; but is seen in the end credits returning to Ordon, walking alongside his father with a sword on his back. | |||

He gives Link the lantern free of charge in the hope of making money by selling [[Lantern Oil|lantern oil]]. He is a very bad cook; while Link can scoop up some of the soup that he is making, it is [[Nasty Soup]] and may harm Link if he drinks it. Coro later sells Link his second bottle for 100 rupees, which comes filled with lantern oil. | |||
Coro also seems to have a good relationship with all sorts of animals, and his long hair has even become a nesting place for birds. He is one of the very few people who doesn't fear [[Wolf Link]] when he runs by. Coro is roughly 15 or 16 years of age and has two sisters; older sister [[Iza]], the owner of [[Iza's Rapid Ride]], and younger sister [[Hena]], the owner of [[Hena's Fishing Hole]]. | |||

===Darbus=== | |||
[[File:Darbus Large.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Darbus}} | |||
The massive Darbus is the patriarch of the Goron Tribe. While he is aggressive and proud to a fault, he considers it a moral duty to help others. When Link first encounters him, however, he is locked away within the [[Goron Mines]] having been consumed by the [[Fused Shadow]]. This corrupted Darbus is the temple boss of the Goron Mines, the Twilit Igniter [[Fyrus]]. | |||
Once freed from the Fused Shadow, Darbus helps Link in his quest to recover [[Ilia]]'s memory. He is sent to the area that blocks the entrance to the [[Hidden Village]]. Using his vast strength, Darbus breaks the boulders to allow Link to gain entrance. This allows Link to gain the [[Horse Call]], which proves to be the key to restoring Ilia's memory; along with the [[Ancient Sky Book]], a key item in reaching the [[City in the Sky]]. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Dr. Borville=== | |||
[[File:Borville.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Dr. Borville}} | |||
Dr. Borville is the resident doctor of [[Castle Town]] and obsessed with money. He is summoned to treat the injured [[Prince Ralis]] but cannot because [[Zora]] are beyond his expertise. Dr. Borville did give some sort of treatment to [[Ilia]] before sending her to [[Telma's Bar]], but also stole a [[Wooden Statue|wooden statue]] from her in the process. This is only exposed when [[Telma]] sends Link to interrogate him for information on what happened to Ilia, armed with the massive [[invoice]] for his bar tab as leverage. He claims that selling the statue would have got him the rupees to pay Telma, but medicine was spilled on it, then it was stolen when he left it out to dry. [[Wolf Link]] can use his senses to follow the [[Medicine Scent]] from there. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Eldin=== | |||

Eldin is seen alongside the other three spirits at the end of the game when [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] summons the spirits to make the [[Light Arrow]]s. After Link meets the [[Great Fairy]] on the 30th floor of the [[Cave of Ordeals]], fairies are released at Eldin Spring. | |||

[[File:Fado-Model.png|180x250px|right]] | |||
{{main|Fado (Twilight Princess)}} | |||
Fado is a resident of [[Ordon Village]] who works at the [[Ordon Ranch]]. His house is the only one in the village to be locked at all times. | |||
Although laid-back and around the same age as Link, he appears to be Link's employer. Possibly because of his laid-back attitude, Fado is not too great with the Ranch's [[Ordon Goat]]s. As a result, they sometimes come running into the village on his watch, requiring Link to wrangle them back. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
===Falbi=== | |||

This allows Link to fly a [[cucco]] down to Lake Hylia and numerous secret locations around it, including [[Twilight Princess Heart Pieces|the hiding places]] of two [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]]. He is partnered with [[Fyer]], whose [[Human-Cannonball Ride]] sends people directly to Falbi's location. | |||
The cucco in [[Ordon Village]] mentions Falbi's flight game when spoken to as [[Wolf Link]]. It is believed that one of the cuccos in [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]] left Lake Hylia because he was unhappy with his previous master. However, when speaking to Falbi's current cuccos, they all seem to be in good spirits and have no complaints about him. | |||

{{main|Faron (Light Spirit)}} | |||
Faron is the [[Light Spirit]] that Link encounters at [[Faron Spring]], within [[Faron Woods#Twilight Princess|Faron Woods]]. Wolf Link first meets Faron in [[Twilight]], with them too weak to take a form. Once Wolf Link gathers enough [[Tears of Light]] to fill the [[Vessel of Light]], banishing the [[Twilight]], Faron can take his true, monkey-like form and speaks to Link. By restoring Faron, Link is also restored to his human self, and Faron highlights that he is now wearing the [[Hero's Clothes]]. Hailing him as the hero chosen by the gods, the Light Spirit directs him to take the [[Fused Shadow]] piece from the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]] to match [[Zant]]'s power. | |||
Faron is seen alongside the other three spirits at the end of the game when [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] summons the spirits to make the [[Light Arrow]]s.

Later in the game Link will show Fyer a [[Auru's Memo|memo]] from [[Auru]] and this will open up a second flight, which will send Link flying to the [[Gerudo Desert]]. After Link has been through the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]] and restored [[Ilia]]'s memory, Link discovers a massive [[Sky Cannon]] underneath [[Renado]]'s house in [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]]. Midna warps Link and the cannon to Lake Hylia, whence for 300 rupees Fyer will repair the Sky Cannon, which can be used to launch him all the way to the [[City in the Sky]]. | |||

Once Link reaches the 50th floor, the Great Fairy fills one of his bottles with [[Great Fairy's Tears]]. Each time Link uses the tears he can return to any of the four springs and have them refilled.

Ilia seems to have a bond with Link's horse [[Epona]], often looking towards Epona's needs even more than Link does. She also acts as a role model for [[Colin]] early in the game. There seems to be some sort of romantic connection between Ilia and Link. | |||

She appears in [[Castle Town]] within [[Telma's Bar]], but she has no recollection of who Link is. She has lost her memory and does not remember what happened. Ilia has been taking care of an injured Zora, [[Prince Ralis]]. It is later revealed that Ilia was held captive by bulblins within the [[Hidden Village]]. After regaining her memory within [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], Ilia helps Link gain access to the [[City in the Sky]]. She also gives Link the Horse Call, an item she was making at the beginning of the game that allows Link to summon [[Epona]] at almost any part of Hyrule. | |||

She gives Link a bomb bag, which combined with arrows will be able to break the boulders. At the bottom of the river, Link sees a [[Zora]] who works as [[Iza's Assistant|her part-time assistant]].

Jovani tells Wolf Link to collect [[Poe Soul]]s and bring them back to him. If Wolf Link brings 20 of them back, Jovani gives Wolf Link a new bottle filled with [[Great Fairy's Tears]]. Jovani hasn't gained full mobility and won't until Link brings all 60 Poe Souls to Jovani.

Lanayru is the [[Light Spirit]] that Link encounters at the spring near Lake Hylia. Lanayru takes the form of a snake after the [[Vessel of Light]] is filled. Lanayru is perhaps the most important of the spirits as it has its own shrine within Lake Hylia. Many local Hylians have been known to visit Lanayru to pay respect to the spirit. Lanayru explains that the power of the [[Fused Shadow]]s was created by dark magic wielders. He explains that the Light Spirits sealed this magic into the Fused Shadows and then banished the dark magic wielders into the [[Twilight Realm]]. | |||

After the kids are taken to [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], Malo opens up his own shop in Kakariko Village known as [[Malo Mart]]. He sells notable items such as the Hylian Shield and later in the game, the Hawkeye. After the Goron Mines have been completed, there is a side-quest that leads to Link donating some rupees to pay for the western bridge to be repaired. Once it is paid off, donations are taken to buy a shop in [[Castle Town]]. After enough rupees are donated, Malo Mart will open up in Castle Town and sell the Magic Armor for a very cheap, 598 rupees, in comparison to the 100,000 rupees it costs before.

Early in the game Mayor Bo chooses Link to go and deliver the special gifts to [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]]. Mayor Bo can be a bit clumsy with his decisions and this leads to arguments with Ilia at times. | |||
Mayor Bo is also much respected amongst the Goron Tribe. When Link is having trouble scaling [[Death Mountain#Twilight Princess|Death Mountain]], he speaks with Mayor Bo and the mayor teaches Link the art of sumo wrestling. Once Link defeats Mayor Bo, he is given the [[Iron Boots]], which will give Link the necessary power to hold off the strong Gorons and become a respected member of their tribe. | |||

Ordona is the first [[Light Spirit]] that Link encounters and is located at the [[Ordon Spring]]. Link reveals Ordona's true form after defeating [[Shadow Beast]]s near the spring. Ordona resembles an Ordon goat and tells Link of the other three Spirits. Ordona also mentions a bit about Zant, and his desires to take over the world. Ordona doesn't seem to be as important as the other three spirits. Lanayru, one of the other spirits, refers to the spirits as three and not four, inferring that Ordona is not responsible for the protection of Hyrule. This could be because Ordona Province is actually just an outskirt area and not actually a part of Hyrule. | |||
Ordona is seen alongside the other three spirits at the end of the game when [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]] summons the spirits to make the light arrows. After Link meets the [[Great Fairy]] on the 10th floor of the [[Cave of Ordeals]], fairies are released within the [[Ordon Spring]]. | |||

If Link completes the STAR Game the first time, he is rewarded with a [[quiver]] upgrade which allows Link to carry 60 arrows rather than the base 30.

While Link is chasing after the skull kid, he will periodically blow his horn and four puppets appear and attack Link. | |||

On another cliff, Wolf Link will see the Golden Wolf and the two will howl the new tune together. Once this is complete, a symbol appears on Link's map and the golden wolf tells Link to take sword in hand and find him. When Link encounters the Golden Wolf, he is taken to a foggy area and meats the [[Hero's Spirit]]. | |||

Below is a complete listing of every character found within The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Main Characters
Link
- Main article: Link (Twilight Princess)
Link begins the game as a goat wrangler working at Ordon Ranch, on the edge of Ordon Village, a small settlement just outside Hyrule. Seemingly well-regarded, he seems to have a romantic relationship with Ilia, the daughter of Mayor Bo. Link is looked up to by some of the children of Ordon, especially Colin, who wishes to grow up to be just like Link. Rusl, Colin's father, is Link's mentor early in the game.
Link's adventure leads him to navigate all of Hyrule as well as the Twilight Realm. Transformed into a wolf when dragged into the Twilight, Link is freed by Midna, who acts as Link's companion throughout his quest. Link sets off on a journey to find three Fused Shadow pieces, three shards of the Mirror of Twilight, and to save Princess Zelda and the kingdom of Hyrule.
Wolf Link
- Main article: Wolf Link
Wolf Link is the form that Link takes when he enters the world of Twilight. Rather than use his deep inventory of weaponry, but instead, relies on his animal instincts, teeth and claws. In this form, he can use his senses to view spirits in the Twilight Realm, discover strange scents and find secret holes. He can also dig through loose patches of soil, which allows him to reach several secret areas and many previously unreachable areas, and is able to speak with many animals throughout the land.
In Twilight, and always after Zant's attack following the Lakebed Temple, Link's companion Midna will accompany him on his back in wolf form. Once Link gains the Master Sword, he also gains the Shadow Crystal, which allows Link to transform from a human to a wolf at almost any point in time.
Midna
- Main article: Midna
Midna is an imp-like creature whose background and purpose are unknown throughout most of the game. She is a member of the Twili people who dwell within the Twilight Realm. She is first seen in the Faron Woods as Link is dragged away in wolf form. Midna then appears within Hyrule Castle and helps Wolf Link escape. She acts as a companion for Link throughout his quest.
When Link is in the Twilight, or after obtaining the Shadow Crystal, Midna will ride on top of Wolf Link. While in wolf form, Link uses Midna to reach distant ledges and also uses Midna's charged attack to defeat multiple enemies at once. Midna is also used as a form of transportation. Wolf Link can speak with Midna and she will warp him to any place where there is a Twilight Portal in the sky. When Link is in the Light World, Midna disappears into Link's shadow. Early in the game, Midna takes Link on a quest to recover three Fused Shadows, only to have them stolen by Zant.
Midna later tries gaining access to the Twilight Realm only to see that the Mirror of Twilight is broken. This puts Midna and Link on their next quest to find three Mirror Shards and enter the world of Twilight. Midna's character goes through quite an evolution throughout the game as her motives have changed because of the selflessness of both Link and Princess Zelda. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Midna is the Twilight Princess and her true form is revealed.
Zant
- Main article: Zant
Zant is the leading villain throughout most of the game. He is a member of the Twili race and the self-proclaimed ruler of the Twilight. This garnered the name, Usurper King of the Twilight. Zant invades Hyrule Castle alongside several Shadow Beasts and forces Princess Zelda to surrender. He appears sparingly throughout the game, confronting Midna and Link on several fronts. After gathering the three Fused Shadows, Zant steals them from Midna and puts the Shadow Crystal within Link. This makes Link remain in his wolf form even when in the Light World.
Zant later attempts to destroy the Mirror of Twilight but is unable to do so. Instead, he breaks it into four large Mirror Shards and scatters three of them throughout Hyrule. Before the battle with Zant, it is revealed that the Usurper King was acting as a tool for his "God", Ganondorf.
Princess Zelda
- Main article: Zelda (Twilight Princess)
Princess Zelda is the regent of Hyrule. Seemingly imprisoned within her chambers in one of the towers of Hyrule Castle, she appears to remain in her normal form when the world is covered in Twilight. In her first meeting with Wolf Link, she reveals that she surrendered to Zant in the hope of preserving the lives of the Hyrulean people.
Later, when Midna is on her last breath, Zelda shows that she has "been granted special powers by the goddesses". Scanning Wolf Link with it, she tells him to go to the Sacred Grove to retrieve the Master Sword and drive out the evil power which keeps him in wolf form. She then transfers her power to Midna to save the latter's life, against Midna's wishes. In the process, she disappears.
At the end of the game, Zelda's body is seen as a lifeless trophy for Ganondorf in the throne room of Hyrule Castle. Midna tries to revive her, only to find that Ganondorf has possessed her. This triggers several final battles of the game, the first being with Ganon's Puppet Zelda. After he is driven out, Princess Zelda is later revived for real. The reunion is cut short by Ganondorf's recovery, however, and Midna transports her and Link to Hyrule Field while she battles Ganondorf, unsuccessfully. On seeing Midna's defeat and the resulting destruction of Hyrule Castle, Princess Zelda summons the four Light Spirits to create the Light Arrows. She uses these in battle alongside Link to defeat Ganondorf.
Ganondorf
- Main article: Ganon
Once the Gerudo "Great King of Evil", Ganondorf was captured and sent for execution in the Arbiter's Grounds many years before the events of Twilight Princess. However, owing to a "divine prank" he had been "blessed with the chosen power of the gods". This revealed itself during the attempted execution by the Ancient Sages, allowing him to break free. Immediately, he took the Sword of the Six Sages from his chest wound, killed the Sage of Water and threatened to escape. Panicking, the remaining Sages then used the Mirror of Twilight to banish him to the Twilight Realm.
In more recent times, he appeared to Zant as a blazing head of flame. Despairing at being passed over for rulership of the Twili, Zant was easily manipulated by Ganondorf. With Ganondorf's power backing him, Zant usurped Midna and invaded the Light World, giving Ganondorf access to Hyrule once more.
Ultimately, Link and Midna find him in the throne room of Hyrule Castle, with Zelda's lifeless body on display as a trophy. Challenging them, he takes control of Zelda and uses her body to attack. When Midna drives him out, he reforms as the Dark Beast Ganon and faces Wolf Link. Defeated again, he takes his flaming head form. Seeing this, Midna sends Link and the revived Zelda away and battles Ganondorf alone using the Fused Shadow. While the fight destroys Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf emerges victorious on horseback, with Midna's helmet as a trophy.
The next phase of the final battle takes place on horseback. Link and Zelda ride around on Epona and Princess Zelda shoots Light Arrows at Ganondorf, stunning him and allowing Link to slash at him with his sword. The final battle takes place when a ring of fire surrounds Link and Ganondorf in the middle of Hyrule Field. After a long sword duel Link thrusts the Master Sword through the body of Ganondorf. With the blade of evil's bane embedded in him, and his link with Zant abruptly broken, Ganondorf dies.

For the first golden bug, she will give Link the Big Wallet. Afterward, she will reward Link with 50 rupees for one golden bug and 100 rupees for a golden bug that makes a pair. If Link brings all 24 bugs to her ball, she thanks him and gives him the Giant Wallet. If Link has golden bugs but doesn't show them to her, she will mention it as Link walks out.

They appear in ethereal form and a cut-scene is shown where they attempt to execute Ganondorf using the Sword of the Sages. They fail at this endeavor and Ganondorf kills the Sage of Water. In desperation, the Sages then used the Mirror of Twilight to banish Ganondorf into the Twilight Realm.

Ashei spots the beast that comes down from Snowpeak to Zora's Domain and draws a sketch of him. Link uses this sketch to show to the Zora, who note that the fish that the beast is carrying is known as a reekfish. Link can later catch a reekfish with the help of Prince Ralis.

Link encounters Auru at Lake Hylia where he mentions that he believes the evil plaguing Hyrule has something to do with Arbiter's Grounds, a prison deep in the desert that has held Hyrule's worst prisoners. Auru saved Fyer's life sometime in the past, which resulted in the latter owing Auru a favor. Auru gives Link a memo to show to Fyer, which tells the Human-Cannonball Ride owner to launch Link into the desert with his large cannon, allowing Link to gain access to the Gerudo Desert.

If Link does not have a free bomb bag for a new type of bomb, Barnes will buy back unused bombs, albeit at a steep discount.

- Main article: Beth
Beth is one of the children of Ordon Village and the daughter of Hanch and Sera. She is somewhere between 8 and 11 years of age and can be found hanging around Malo and Talo during the early portions of the game. While she can be seen with Malo and Talo, she often thinks of them being quite immature. Beth seems to tease Colin, believing that he is not up to being the hero that he dreams to be. Beth seemingly has a crush on Link early on the game. Beth has aspirations to one day leave the village and live a life as a city girl in town.
When the kids were taken to Kakariko Village, King Bulblin appears, riding Lord Bullbo - his massive boar-like creature - directly at Beth is standing.

Beth is also good friends with Renado's daughter Luda in Kakariko Village.
Colin
- Main article: Colin
Colin is one of the children of Ordon Village and the son of Rusl and Uli. Colin is a timed child that is somewhere between 7 and 10 years of age. Colin is much more laid back than the rest of the children of the Village and is very reluctant to take part in any of their more dangerous adventures. Colin is often teased by the other kids in the village because of his timid nature. He views Link and Ilia as great role models and even says that he'd like to be like Link when he grows up.
Early in the story, Colin makes the fishing rod, which he gives to Link. Soon after, Colin and Ilia are both kidnapped by King Bulblin and taken away. Link eventually finds Colin in Kakariko Village, where he is being taken care of by Renado. Colin lives up to his heroic role model when he saves Beth from the path of King Bulblin, but this causes him to be captured instead. He is later saved by Link after an epic battle in Hyrule Field and on the Bridge of Eldin.

Coro later sells Link his second bottle for 100 rupees, which comes filled with lantern oil.
Coro also seems to have a good relationship with all sorts of animals, and his long hair has even become a nesting place for birds. He is one of the very few people who doesn't fear Wolf Link when he runs by.

Once freed from the Fused Shadow, Darbus helps Link in his quest to recover Ilia's memory. He is sent to the area that blocks the entrance to the Hidden Village. Using his vast strength, Darbus breaks the boulders to allow Link to gain entrance.

This is only exposed when Telma sends Link to interrogate him for information on what happened to Ilia, armed with the massive invoice for his bar tab as leverage.

Wolf Link can use his senses to follow the Medicine Scent from there.
Eldin
- Main article: Eldin (Light Spirit)
Eldin is the Light Spirit that Link encounters at Eldin Spring, on the outskirts of Kakariko Village.

He is partnered with Fyer, whose Human-Cannonball Ride sends people directly to Falbi's location.
The cucco in Ordon Village mentions Falbi's flight game when spoken to as Wolf Link.

This could be because Ordona Province is actually just an outskirt area and not actually a part of Hyrule.
