Phantom Zant is encountered twice in the Palace of Twilight. It throws balls of dark matter that spawn various [[Twilight]] monsters, such as [[Shadow Keese]], [[Shadow Deku Baba]]s, and [[Shadow Beast]]s. After [[Link]] defeats all the spawned monsters, or the monsters have remained for long enough, Phantom Zant will continue to warp around the room. Eventually, it will temporarily stop to spawn more monsters. It is at this time that Link is able to attack it. After defeating Phantom Zant, Link will be able to obtain a [[Sol]], which he must return to the entrance of the palace.


==Strategy==
==Other Appearances==
Phantom Zant is encountered twice, and is also seen early in the dungeon. It will start by throwing a ball of dark matter. The ball will then spawn large numbers of various [[Twilight Monsters]] including [[Keese#Shadow Keese|Shadow Keese]], [[Shadow Deku Baba]]s, and [[Shadow Beast]]s. After Link has killed all the spawned monsters, or the monsters have remained for a long time, Phantom Zant will continue to warp around the room (as he had been while Link was distracted by the monsters). At some point he will temporarily stop, then prepare to spawn more monsters. It is at this time Link can attack Phantom Zant the most efficiently. He will not have much time to do so, as Phantom Zant does not take long to create more monsters.

Each time after defeating Phantom Zant, Link will be able to obtain a [[Sol]], which he must return to the entrance.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Phantom Zant is similar to [[Phantom Ganon]] in both name and in the sense that both are ghostly apparitions of their creators.
*Both Phantom Zant and [[Death Sword]] share a unique mini-boss theme.
*Phantom Zant's attack strategy is almost exactly the same as a [[Wizzrobe|Wizzrobe's]], particularly the mini-boss of the [[Wind Temple]] in {{TWW}}.
*Phantom Zant’s appearance resembles a hologram though he can still interact with solid objects.
*Unlike Phantom Ganon who appears ghost-like, Phantom Zant appears to be some sort of hologram. This is supported by the fact that the internal game files refer to Phantom Zant as "Zant Hologram."
 
*Phantom Zant is the only mini-boss in ''Twilight Princess'' to be encountered twice (excluding regular enemies who also appear as mini-bosses, such as [[Darknut]]s and [[Aeralfos]]).
