Twilight Princess Story: Difference between revisions

Link saves up money to buy a [[Slingshot]], and then shows the local kids how to use it. After the lesson, Link is given a [[Wooden Sword]], and shows the kids how to use that as well. This acts as a kind of tutorial to get the player used to using the sword, building up some 'ease of play'. After that lesson, a monkey comes out of the woods and the kids decide to chase after it. Unfortunately, one of the kids ([[Talo]]) and the monkey gets caught in a trap and Link ends up burdened with the task of saving them.  

The next morning, after herding some goats, Link is ready to go. Link's friend [[Ilia]] notices that [[Epona]] is injured and, after giving Link a talking to, takes her away to [[Ordon Spring]] to heal her. When Link goes to the spring to get her back, the [[King Bulblin|Bulblin King]] and some [[Bulblin Rider]]s come crashing through the gate. They kidnap Ilia and the other children, scaring Epona away in the process.  Link is knocked unconscious by a rider, and left there alone. Link soon wakes up and runs across the bridge towards [[Faron Woods|the woods]]. He is pulled through a newly placed black wall by a [[Shadow Beast]], who drops him when a Triforce Symbol appears on his hand. Soon after entering the Twilight, Link turns into a wolf and then faints. Link is taken to [[Hyrule Castle]] and imprisoned in the cellars. There, he meets [[Midna]], a mysterious character who doesn't fully reveal who she is and helps Link escape. He finally makes it to the top of the tallest tower, where he meets [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] for the first time. She tells him of the recent battle that ensued in Hyrule. [[Zant]], an evil sorcerer, and his Twilight Beasts have killed many soldiers, and how she was forced to surrender.

After leaving Zelda, Link and Midna escape from the Twilight and return to the [[Ordona Province]], where they acquire the [[Ordon Sword]] and the [[Ordon Shield]]. On their way back to the Twilight, Link and Midna are stopped outside Ordon Spring where they meet [[Ordona]], a [[Light Spirit]]. Link and Midna then go to the Twilight-covered [[Faron Woods]] where they meet the shattered remains of the Light Spirit [[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]. He instructs them to find the [[Tears of Light]] to restore light to the [[Faron Province]] and then returns Faron Woods to normal. Once they meet the revitalized Faron, Link is returned to his Hylian form and finds out that he is the chosen hero of destiny. Faron gives him the clothes of the chosen hero and tells him to go to the temple in the woods to get to Fused Shadow.

Link and Midna then go to the forest temple and defeat [[Diababa]]. Once Diababa is defeated, they are granted the first [[Fused Shadow]]. Faron tells them to go to the [[Eldin Province]] to the west (Wii) or east (GCN). Link and Midna go into the Twilight and find Link's [[Wooden Sword]], which Link had given to [[Talo]]. Since Link is a wolf at this time, he can smell the kids; he follows their scent to a broken bridge and fixes it.

Link and Midna then continue on to [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], where they find the shattered form of the Light Spirit [[Eldin (Light Spirit)|Eldin]]. They search Kakariko and [[Death Mountain]] for the Tears of Light, this time to restore light to Eldin Province. Link is reuinited with the kids at last, but Ilia is still missing. In Kakariko, Link meets [[Renado]] who tells Link about the [[Goron]]s at Death Mountain and how they are in an uncontrollable rage. After Link tries to go up to Death Mountain and is knocked back by a Goron, Renado tells him that [[Mayor Bo]], the Mayor of [[Ordon Village|Ordon]], could beat the Gorons in strength contests.

Link begins preparing to leave Kakariko, but then Epona comes riding and Link must tame her. When he meets with Bo, Link gets a quick sumo lesson and Bo gives him the Iron Boots. Link returns to Death Mountain and reaches a large room with lots of Gorons who are ready to fight. The Goron Elder, [[Gor Coron]], tells Link that if he can win against him in a contest of strength, he will grant him entry into the Goron mines to save the Goron Patriarch, [[Darbus]]. Link defeats Gor Coron in a sumo match and is allowed into the Goron Mines; inside, he gets the three pieces of the key to Darbus's room from the other three Goron elders. When he gets to Darbus's room, [[Darbus]] turns into a monster called [[Fyrus]]. Link saves Darbus and takes the [[Fused Shadow]] that corrupted him.

Link then travels to the [[Lanayru Province]], which is covered in Twilight. He meets the Light Spirit [[Lanayru (Light Spirit)|Lanayru]] and saves the province from Twilight. He is reunited with Ilia, who is in the care of the bartender [[Telma]]. The two of them are taking care of a collapsed [[Zora]] child named [[Prince Ralis]]. Link quickly escorts them to Kakariko village where Ralis and Ilia are put into Renado's care. Link then finds out that Ilia has lost her memory. Prince Ralis's dead mother [[Queen Rutela]] grants Link the [[Zora Armor]].

Link heads to Lake Hylia where he enters the Lakebed Temple. Here, he defeats [[Morpheel]], granting him the third and final Fused Shadow. Link and Midna return to Lanayru Spring, where they learn the story of the Dark Interlopers. At the spring, they bump into [[Zant]], who hurts Midna by trapping her in the Light World which hurts her. Link and Midna return to Hyrule Castle, where Zelda grants Midna the power to survive in the Light World.

Link and Midna go back to Faron Woods to a hidden portion called the Sacred Grove. Here, they find the Legendary Blade of Evil's Bane, the Master Sword. They go to the Gerudo Desert, which holds the Arbiter's Grounds. Here, they defeat [[Stallord]]. They head outside to find the [[Mirror of Twilight]] is broken into four pieces. They meet the Sages and learn about [[Ganon]]dorf, who holds the Triforce of Power, and is also responsible for Zant's power. The Sages sent him into the Twilight Realm after a failed execution.

Link and Midna go to [[Snowpeak]], the home of [[Yeto]] and [[Yeta]], to recover a cursed mirror shard that possessed Yeta, turning her into [[Blizzeta]]. They return to the Sacred Grove and enter the [[Temple of Time]], where they find the [[Dominion Rod]] and recover another mirror shard from [[Armogohma]]. They return to Kakariko, where they meet [[Shad]], who tells them about the sky beings known as the [[Oocca]].

Gor Coron tells Link to go to the [[Hidden Village]] near the Bridge of Eldin. There, Link and Midna find [[Impaz]], who is the last of the [[Sheikah]] and she gives Link the [[Ancient Sky Book]]. Link gets a wooden statue from [[Castle Town]], as well as a [[Horse Call]] from Impaz, which give Ilia her memory back. Link goes back to Kakariko and shows the book to Shad, who gives him the location of the remaining [[Owl Statue]]s around Hyrule. Link goes and moves them all, restoring the full word, which removes the seal on the owl statue in Kakariko. Link moves it and finds a [[Sky Cannon|cannon]], which allows him to access the [[City in the Sky]].

Link, Zelda, and Midna return to the Mirror Chamber. Midna travels through the mirror and shatters it, and you find out that Midna never finishes what she was saying before the mirror gets shattered. Link then returns to his home village. People can also be seen rebuilding Hyrule Castle after it was destroyed. Many other events unfold, as well as Prince Ralis's ceremony to become king of the Zora tribe.
