=== Quest for the [[Mirror of Twilight]] ===
With all of the Fused Shadows in their possession, Link and Midna warp back to [[Lanayru Spring]], where [[Zant]] ambushes the duo. He critically injures [[Midna]] and casts a [[Shadow Crystal|curse]] on Link that traps him in his wolf form. Lanayru warps the duo to Hyrule Field to save them, and tells Link to head to Hyrule Castle to meet with Princess Zelda. Link, trapped in wolf form, carries a dying Midna on his back and brings her inside the castle to Zelda. Midna weakly tells Zelda that she needs Link to save Hyrule and asks her how his curse can be broken. Zelda tries to break his curse with her [[Triforce of Wisdom|power]], but to no avail. She concludes that Link is binded by an [[Shadow Crystal|evil power]] that prevents him from transforming back into his human form. The princess tells Link to head for the [[Sacred Grove]] to find the [[Master Sword]], the only thing that can break his curse. Midna is brought back from the brink of death when Zelda transfers her soul and powers to Midna's body.<ref name=ZeldaRescuesMidna>{{Cite|Despite your mortal injuries, you act in our stead...
