Faron (Twilight Princess)

''This article refers to the Light Spirit Faron. If you were looking for the province, see Faron Province.''

Faron is the second light spirit Link meets in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. He resides in Faron Spring, where his power of light was stolen by Twilit Messengers, turning the area into twilight. After meeting his broken spirit, which appears as a small cloud, he gives Link the Vessel of Light to collect the Tears of Light from the Twilit Parasites. After all of them have been killed, he will turn Link back into his original form. When this happens, Link will be wearing the tunic belonging to the Hero of Time.

After Link collects the Fused Shadow from the Forest Temple, Faron tells Link to go to the land where the light spirit Eldin dwells.

At the battle with Ganondorf, Faron gives some of his power to Princess Zelda by providing her with Light Arrows. After the battle, Faron helps Midna turn back to her true form.

Faron resembles a monkey with a very long tail. He curls around his orb of light in a fetal position. Its name may be a reference to Farore, the goddess of courage or perhaps an adaptation of the Latin pharos, meaning "beacon."
