Zelda Twilight Princess: Navigating the Twilight Realm

Once you have assembled the Mirror of Twilight you'll be ready to enter the Twilight Realm and take on the next boss monster Zant, however first you'll have to navigate the Twilight Realm. Once you have entered the Twilight you'll have to complete two tasks in order to gain power with the Master Sword, a power that you can wield to cut away shadow and destroy darkness.

Once you have entered the Twilight Realm you'll have to choose a path, left or right and make your way to it's end. Either path will be okay as your first choice because either way you'll end up going down both. On each path you'll be faced with rooms with various challenges that may seem easy at first, but will prove more difficult on you're way out.

At the end of each path there will be a large stone hand with a blue shinning ball clutched within. You mission is to retrieve this orb and take it back to the entrance to the Twilight Real and place it in a small hole. But first you'll have to defeat a Zant Clone and traverse the obstacles that seemed so easy on the way in.

The Zant Clone's are actually very easy, ally you need to do is keep looking around the arena for the clone to stop moving and wait for him to begin summoning his attack. While Zant's Clone is summoning his attack his is completely vulnerable and open for you to attack with any sword technique you chose. If Zant does manage to get an attack off all he'll do is summon multiple dark creatures to fight Link. These creatures will be easily taken care of with a Spin attack and some quick maneuvering. After hitting the Clone Zant several times he'll be defeated and you'll be able to move on to taking the glowing blue orb.

Use the clawshot to take to orb from the hand, but be careful because the hand will come to life to take back the orb, however it moves slowly so you should not have anything to worry about. In each room the orb needs to be placed in a small hole to activate a switch that will allow staircases, or walls to appear that were not located in the room before. Once the orb is placed use these new features to gain ground near the rooms exit then use the clawshot to retrieve the orb and exit the room. Be warned however that once the orb is removed the switch will be shut off and the new features will vanish.

Both sides of the Twilight Realm are similar but have different puzzles and tricks about them to move the orb from point A to point B, but nothing overly difficult. If the giant stone hand does happen to grab a hold of the orb don't panic, just use some kind of projectile weapon, like the arrows, or clawshot to hit the hand three times and it will drop the orb. This also works well when trying to stall the hand when trying to figure out the best way to navigate room.

Now after completing these two missions and getting both light orbs back into position your sword will be filled with the power to destroy darkness and now you'll be one step closer to fighting the evil king Zant.
