Characteristics

Descriptionshide ▲
If we waste time dealing with this, we’ll never find Zant! Don't bother yourself with those little nuisances! Attack Zant's image!

Phantom Zant is encountered twice in the Palace of Twilight where he guards the Sols. He throws balls of dark matter that spawn various Monsters of Twilight, such as Shadow Keese, Shadow Deku Babas, and Shadow Beasts. If Link does not defeat the Monsters within a given period of time, Phantom Zant recalls them and switches warping around the room. Eventually, he will temporarily stop to spawn more Monsters. It is at this time that Link is able to attack him. Phantom Zant emits audio cues that indicate whether he will continue to warp around or stop, giving Link an opportunity to attack. Two audio cues indicate that Phantom Zant will simply warp again, while a single audio cue hints that he will remain in place.

After defeating Phantom Zant, Link obtains a Sol, which he must return to the entrance of the Palace.
