Fused Shadow

The Fused Shadows are items that Link must acquire for Midna in return for her help. There are three Fused Shadows that are to be collected during the game and are held by the dungeon bosses Diababa, Fyrus and Morpheel. However, there are four in all- Midna's helm is the fourth Fused Shadow.

The pieces of Fused Shadows hold the magical power used by the ancient interlopers who wanted to invade the Sacred Realm to get a hold on the Triforce and its powers. The power was sealed within these objects and locked away. Anything that comes too close to this dark power is mutated, as the bosses of each dungeon reveal. This is especially apparent in the Goron Mines, where the Patriarch of the Gorons was transformed into Fyrus by the dark power of the Fused Shadows.
