Black Barrier

From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Black Barriers are Objects in Twilight Princess.[1][name references needed] They are giant walls of Twilight that cascades over Hyrule and they serve as the barrier between the Twilight and the Light World.

Location and Uses

The Black Barrier is only penetrable by having someone in the Twilight Realm grab Link and drag him in.[2] When seen from afar, the entrance appears to be but a black wall with golden outlining, but when observed at a closer distance, strange markings are seen written on it. Any non-Twili passing into the Twilight without the protection of the Master Sword will be affected by its power and transformed, in most cases, into spirits. Although Link, as the chosen hero with the Triforce of Courage, is transformed into a blue-eyed wolf upon passing through it instead.[3] When the Twilight is lifted from the province covered by it, the Black Barrier disappears along with it.

Trivia

  • In an unused text string, Midna admits that Link can enter the Twilight even without her help, and apologizes for lying to him.[4]
