Zant (boss)


 * This page is about the boss. For the character, please see Zant.

Zant is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. After Link retrieves the Sols from the Zant's Hands and powers up the Master Sword, he is given access to a new area of the Palace of Twilight. Here, he encounters Zant, Ganondorf's puppet.

Battle
In battle, Zant can float and even swim freely through the air or water. He can also manipulate reality, including creating giant versions of his own helmet and making himself change in size. He also seems to possess superhuman strength, as he is able to tilt the arena with jumps when impersonating Dangoro's fight, a feat that looked as if it strained even the huge Goron himself. Zant's primary attack comes in the form of purple energy balls that he fires. Link can strike these with the Master Sword, but they merely explode on contact, making them ultimately unrelated to Dead Man's Volley. Later in the battle, Zant utilizes two cleaver-like blades with which he maniacally flails and hacks, including a high-speed spinning attack. Another skill is his dumbfounding level of flexibility.

After Link deals enought damage to Zant, the enemy, with his dying breath, tells them that his god, Ganondorf, will revive him as long as Ganondorf lives. He tries to destroy them both in one last, psychotic effort, but Midna is overcome by the power of the Fused Shadow and uses her hair, which splits into three giant spears, to impale Zant. Zant then inflates, and bursts.
