'''Zant | '''Zant''' is a [[Twili]] who makes his first appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'' as a major villain. In the game, Zant has usurped the throne of the [[Twilight Realm]] while serving as one of [[Ganondorf]]'s chief followers. Zant later appears as a playable character in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' and its [[reissue]]s. | ||

Once Midna's health has been recovered by Zelda, Link is restored to normal by the [[Master Sword]], and the two have made their way through the [[Arbiter's Grounds]] on the way to the [[Mirror of Twilight]], Zant ambushes them again, this time plunging a twilight-infused sword into a massive fossil, creating [[Stallord]] to try and stop them, after which he leaves. | Once Midna's health has been recovered by Zelda, Link is restored to normal by the [[Master Sword]], and the two have made their way through the [[Arbiter's Grounds]] on the way to the [[Mirror of Twilight]], Zant ambushes them again, this time plunging a twilight-infused sword into a massive fossil, creating [[Stallord]] to try and stop them, after which he leaves. | ||
Zant is not directly seen again until Link and Midna have made it through the [[Palace of Twilight]], where he is found in the throne room. Here, it is revealed that his previous calm demeanor is a facade and that he is actually completely insane, rambling his motivation between several bizarre movements and noises. He states that he believed he was entitled to rule the [[Twili]] and that he believes their royal family to be too complacent and resigned to their race's exile. He reveals that while he was throwing a tantrum alone on a balcony | Zant is not directly seen again until Link and Midna have made it through the [[Palace of Twilight]], where he is found in the throne room.

He states that he believed he was entitled to rule the [[Twili]] and that he believes their royal family to be too complacent and resigned to their race's exile. He reveals that while he was throwing a tantrum alone on a balcony, he was approached by "a god" (actually a banished [[Ganondorf]] wielding the [[Triforce of Power]]), who convinced him he would grant Zant his desires and his own power at the exchange of "combining light and shadow to make darkness." At this, Zant begins to battle the two. | ||

In each of these, he also adds his own unique twists, usually involving comedic movements. At the end, they are transported to a replica of the outside of [[Hyrule Castle Town]]'s south gate, where he now takes a pair of [[scimitar]]s and spins in a berserk fashion. Once he is defeated, Midna takes back the Fused Shadows and tells him that the Twili never trusted him as his greed was visible in his eyes. Zant attempts to protest more and Midna tries to use the Fused Shadows' power to silence him, but accidentally obliterates him. | ||
Zant is seen one last time at the end of the game once Ganondorf is defeated, where a brief cinematic of him cracking his neck is used to signify Ganondorf's loss of the Triforce of Power and subsequent death. | |||

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', Zant is recruited by [[Cia]] during her conquest of the Era of Twilight, where he is again found in the Palace of Twilight. As revealed in Cia's Tale, Zant and Midna were already battling, with Cia and [[Wizzro]] deciding to assist the former due to his single-minded hunger for power making him easy to manipulate. Later, after [[Cia]] is defeated, Ganondorf summons him and [[Ghirahim]] to assist in his takeover of Hyrule. | In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', Zant is recruited by [[Cia]] during her conquest of the Era of Twilight, where he is again found in the Palace of Twilight.

In this game, Zant wields the Scimitars and switches between his two demeanors seemingly at random. He fights with several of his boss fight moves from ''Twilight Princess'' and is additionally assisted by [[Zant Mask]]s, [[Zant's Hand]]s, and [[Phantom Zant]]s. When he is an opponent, guarding against his attacks several times consecutively will cause him to eventually slip up and expose his [[Weak Point Smash]] gauge. When playing as him, a meter on the screen grows as he attacks and when full, will cause him to mess up an attack unless he drains it with his basic strong attack | In this game, Zant wields the Scimitars and switches between his two demeanors seemingly at random.
