The {{Term/Store|Mirror Chamber||Series, TP, TPHD}} is a location in {{TP}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 278}}</ref> It is an ancient, open-air atrium located above the [[Arbiter's Grounds (Dungeon)|Arbiter's Grounds]] that houses not only the [[Sage]]s, but also the [[Mirror of Twilight]] and is thus the only entrance to the [[Twilight Realm]]. [[Link]] cannot gain access to the Mirror Chamber until after he defeats [[Stallord]], the boss of the Arbiter's Grounds. | |||
The | ==Features and Overview== | ||
The Mirror Chamber resembles the {{Wp|Colosseum|Roman Colosseum}} in structure and boasts six large equidistant spires that serve as symbolic insignias of the Sages that oversee the chamber. One of the spire tops is shattered, symbolizing the death of the Water Sage at the hands of [[Ganondorf]]. | |||
Prior to the events of {{TP|-}}, Ganondorf was subject to trial and sentenced to death by the Seven Sages in the Mirror Chamber.<ref>{{Cite|In all of his fury and might, he was blind to any danger, and thus was he exposed, subdued, and brought to justice.|Sage|TPHD}}</ref> However, despite having been struck by the [[Sword of the Sages]] in an attempt to execute him, Ganondorf was able to break free of his shackles using the [[Triforce of Power]], killing the Sage of Water in the process.<ref>{{Cite|By some divine prank, he, too, had been blessed with the {{Color|TPHD Red|chosen power of the gods}}. His abiding hatred and lust for power turned to purest malice...|Sage|TPHD}}</ref> The Sages then quickly proceeded to send Ganondorf to the Twilight Realm via the Mirror of Twilight, located at the rear of the chamber. | |||
[[ | When Link arrives at the Chamber, only a statue resembling the [[Desert Colossus#The Goddess of the Sand|Goddess of Sand]] resides within, with no indication of the Mirror of Twilight or the large, [[Portal Stone|black monolith]] that had chained Ganondorf in the past. After riding atop the statue and using the [[Spinner]] at the apex of the large structure, the statue itself dips into the sand, raising not only the black stone, but the Mirror of Twilight itself. However, Link and [[Midna]] discover that only one-quarter of the Mirror is intact. The Sages appear to the duo on their respective spires and explain that [[Zant]] has fragmented the Mirror with the help of Ganondorf's magic while failing to completely shatter it due to him being the false king of the Twilight Realm.<ref>{{Cite|You seek it...but the {{Color|TPHD Red|Mirror of Twilight}} has been fragmented by {{Color|TPHD Red|mighty magic}}. That magic is a {{Color|TPHD Red|dark}} power that only {{Color|TPHD Red|he}} possesses... His name is... {{Color|TPHD Red|Ganondorf}}.|Sage|TPHD}}</ref> The Sages then reveal the locations of the three missing [[Mirror Shard]]s: [[Snowpeak]], [[Sacred Grove]], and the [[City in the Sky]].<ref>{{Cite|Only the {{Color|TPHD Red|true leader}} of the {{Color|TPHD Red|Twili}} can utterly destroy the {{Color|TPHD Red|Mirror of Twilight}}...so Zant could merely break it into pieces. Once broken by magic, the {{Color|TPHD Red|Mirror of Twilight}} became {{Color|TPHD Red|fragments}}, which even now lie {{Color|TPHD Red|hidden across the land of Hyrule}}. One is in the {{Color|TPHD Red|snowy mountain heights}}... One is in an {{Color|TPHD Red|ancient grove}}... And one is in {{Color|TPHD Red|the heavens}}...|Sage|TPHD}}</ref> After Link and Midna succeed in gathering the three Mirror Shards, they return to the Mirror Chamber to reassemble the Mirror of Twilight and enter the Twilight Realm to ultimately defeat Zant. | ||
During the ending credits, Link, [[Princess Zelda]] and Midna gather at the Mirror Chamber to say their goodbyes as the Twilight Princess returns to her realm. However, just as she is about to depart, she sheds a tear and uses it to completely shatter the Mirror of Twilight, thus destroying the only connection between [[Hyrule]] and the Twilight Realm.<ref>{{Cite|Well, the princess spoke truly: as long as that mirror's around, we could meet again... Link... I... See you later...|Midna|TP}}</ref> | |||
