A few hundred years later, the kingdom of Hyrule would be consumed by an engulfing plague of twilight. Link would be called upon to save Hyrule from the Usurper King Zant and his twilit army. Midna, a small Twili imp, would help Link on his journey, even helping him get used to his Twili wolf form and utilize it to their advantage.

As Link would find out, Midna was the Princess of the Twilight Realm and had been usurped of power by the mischievous Zant, who now seeks to dethrone Princess Zelda and the entire kingdom of Hyrule. Link, after taking The Master Sword, freeing him from his wolf form, seeks out the Mirror of Twilight to gain access to the Twilight Realm, but they come to find that the mirror had been broken by Zant. After restoring the mirror to its original state, Link and Midna enter the realm and defeat Zant. Unfortunately, restoring The Mirror of Twilight allowed Ganondorf, who had been sealed within it during the age of The Hero of Time, to enter into Hyrule and attempt his long awaited coup.

Ganondorf used Zant and his power-hungry nature to do his dirty work. Now it was time for the King of Evil to reap the rewards. But after a failed attempt at transforming into Ganon, Ganondorf is slayed by Link with the Master Sword. Midna, now in her true Twili form after the death of Ganondorf, heads back to the Twilight Realm and destroys the mirror, rekindling balance between the two realms. While Hyrule Castle is being restored, The Hero Chosen By The Gods is seen heading into Faron Woods, never to be seen again.

Four Swords Adventure

Hey, it’s been awhile since anyone has checked up on The Four Sword’s seal on Vaati, hasn’t it? Well, what do you know, he has escaped once again, but this time with the help of Link’s doppelganger Shadow Link. The evil Link kidnapped Princess Zelda with a portal to the Dark World and beckoned Link to take him on. Link, being the couragous hero as he is, lets his loyalty to the princess get the better of him. He takes hold of The Four Sword, unleashing the beast Vaati once again.

The Hero of Light, now split into four, saves the maidens who had been kidnapped by Shadow Link and enters the Palace of Winds. In a winning effort against Shadow Link, Link is able to rescue Zelda and head to Vaati’s lair. The Hero of Light is able to get the better of Vaati, killing him, ridding the world of the vile monster once and for all. The rescued Zelda celebrates with Link atop the Palace of Winds, but not before it comes crumbling to the ground. Falling into a dark hole underneath the castle, their greatest fear has been realized. Vaati’s release was an elaborate plan by Ganon, who had stolen the mirror with which he had been sealed and created Shadow Link to trick Link into releasing Vaati.

Ganon attempts to finally conquer Hyrule but is overpowered by The Heroes of Light, as well as Princess Zelda, and is sealed away within The Four Sword.
