Midna: Difference between revisions

Initially a hostile and abrasive character when she and Link meet, Midna forces Link in helping her find parts of a dark relic called the {{s|zeldawiki|Fused Shadows}}. Midna's motives and true identity are revealed later on in the game; she was the ruler of the Twilight realm (thus, she is called the "Twilight Princess"), but was overthrown, transformed and banished from her home realm by a jealous {{s|zeldawiki|Zant}}. Knowing who Link was all along, she initially used him to get revenge on Zant, but their many adventures together, including saving each other's lives multiple times, ultimately showed Midna the selfishness of her ways and her agenda changed to saving both Hyrule and the Twilight realm. While their relationship was initially professional and somewhat manipulative, moments in the game and especially in companion media imply that Midna grew a fondness towards Link, going from seeing him as a dog to a true friend worth fighting for. Her change of heart is further shown when near the end of the game, she warps Link and Zelda out to the Eldin province of {{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Field}} to safety. Thought to have been killed in her battle with Ganon, Midna was later revived and restored to her true form. Afterwards, she bids Link and Zelda farewell and destroys the {{iw|zeldawiki|Mirror of Twilight}}, making sure Hyrule and the Twilight realm never cross over again.

In Twilight Princess, one of such abilities is changing her hair into the shape of a hand and using it to grab objects. The only instance in which this is used to physically grab enemies is during the battle against Ganon. Her hair-hand is used more extensively as a weapon in her ''{{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors}}'' appearance. These moments were the basis of her mechanics as an assist trophy.
