The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Difference between revisions

[[Link]], a young adult, is a ranch worker in [[Ordon Village]] in the [[Ordona Province]] of [[Hyrule]].<ref>{{Cite|Are you going to close down the ranch for the day?|Sera|TP}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|What's the matter? Aren't you going to help out at the ranch?|Ilia|TP}}</ref> His mentor [[Rusl]] asks him to present a gift to the royal family of [[Hyrule]] in his stead. The following day, Link teaches the village children [[Beth]], [[Malo]] and [[Talo]] how to use a [[slingshot]] and a sword. Talo spots a monkey and proceeds to chase it into [[Faron Woods]]. Link and the rest of the children give chase.<ref>{{Cite|Link, did you find Talo? Sounds like the monkeys caught him, not the other way around!|Beth|TP}}</ref> Link ventures deep into the woods and finds Talo and the monkey trapped in a cage surrounded by [[Bokoblins]].<ref>{{Cite|She's actually a pretty nice gal, that monkey... She tried to protect me, so we got captured together.|Talo|TP}}</ref> He defeats the creatures and frees the pair.<ref>{{Cite|If you hadn't come, Link... Gee, me and that monkey would've gotten eaten, probably!|Talo|TP}}</ref> They head back to the village, and Rusl tells Link that he will depart for Hyrule the following day.<ref>{{Cite|Tell me, have you noticed how strange this wood seems lately? I feel... uneasy about what may lie in wait... Anyway, Link...Tomorrow is finally the day. You will be departing for Hyrule.|Rusl|TP}}</ref> The next day, Link finishes his goat-herding duties with his horse, [[Epona]] before he prepares to leave. However, his childhood friend [[Ilia]] discovers that Epona's leg is injured, and scolds Link for hurting her. She proceeds to take Epona to the [[Ordon Spring]] to heal her leg. Link follows her, and [[Colin]] tells her how Link saved Talo the day before. Ilia tells Link not to worry about his horse and asks him to promise her to come home safely.

Midna returns Link to the world of light. She tells Link that he cannot revert to his human form yet, and that he needs her cooperation to save his friends. In his wolf form, Link returns to Ordon Village to find it infested with Bulblins. He acquires the [[Ordon Sword|sword]] intended for the royal family,<ref>{{Cite|I'll go to Rusl's place and get the sword we were to present in Hyrule.|Mayor Bo|TP}}</ref> along with a [[Ordon Shield|shield]] from the village. Before Link returns to the Twilight Realm, he is summoned by [[Ordona (Spirit)|Ordona]], the spirit of Ordon Spring and one of the four [[Spirits of Light]] who preside over Hyrule. Ordona explains to Link that its fellow light spirits were slain and robbed of their light by Shadow Beasts, turning Hyrule into a twilight-covered netherworld known as the [[Twilight Realm]]. Ordona tells Link that he must restore the light to Hyrule to regain his original form and abolish the twilight from the land. Link returns to the twilight-covered Faron Woods and finds [[Faron (Spirit)|Faron]], another one of the four light spirits. Faron tells Link that he must recover its [[Tears of Light]] from the [[Twilit Insect|insects of darkness]] that stole them to rid the woods of the twilight. Link does so, and is restored to his human form. Link finds himself wearing a green tunic, the same tunic that belonged to the chosen hero of the gods in years past. Faron tells Link that his transformation into a wolf was a sign that he is the chosen hero of the gods.<ref>{{Cite|In the land covered in twilight, where people roam as spirits, you were transformed into a blue-eyed beast... That was a sign... It was a sign that the powers of the chosen one rest within you... and that they are awakening.|Faron|TP}}</ref> He explains that a [[Fused Shadow|dark power]] lies in the [[Forest Temple]] deep in Faron Woods, and that Link must obtain it to match the power of the [[Zant|king of shadows]].<ref>{{Cite|A dark power rests in the temple deep within these woods. It is a forbidden power. Long, long ago, I and the other spirits of light locked it away. Because of its nature, it is a power that should never be touched by any who dwell in the light. But this world weeps beneath a mantle of shadows, and so there is no choice...You must match the power of the king of shadows.|Faron|TP}}</ref> Link makes his way through the Forest Temple, defeats the monstrous [[Diababa]], and acquires the dark power Faron spoke of, the [[Fused Shadow]]. Midna tells Link that there are two other Fused Shadows in Hyrule, and urges him to find them.<ref>{{Cite|Eee hee hee! Well done! That's...what I was looking for. That's a Fused Shadow. It's what the light spirit called dark power...Do you remember what that spirit said? About how you had to match the power of the king of shadows? Could it really be so easy? Is this all there is to it? Eee hee hee! There's a total of three Fused Shadows. I think the other light spirits have the rest...If you want to know exactly what Fused Shadows are... Well, maybe I'll tell you if you find the other two. I guess you'd better do your best to find them, huh? Eee hee hee!|Midna|TP}}</ref>
