Midna is a main protagonist and the guide character in 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.[4][2] 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 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 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 Ganondorf. After doing so, she transforms back into her true form. After saying goodbye to Link, she reenters 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.
