Truth prevails in the world of Twilight Princess

Twilight Princess is known as one of the darker Zelda tales. A GameCube classic riddled with darkness, incredible characters and one memorable companion – Midna! Cheeky, devoted and woven with an air of mystery – the impish creature lets loose on some sweet words of wisdom. One of the best Zelda quotes from the game surely must be this one:

Time keeps on ticking

The Legend of Zelda series has always tinkered with time. As the core concept to Ocarina of Time, the game’s script had some truly deep sentiments when it came to time’s flow. One of the most memorable lines was delivered by the mysterious Sheik. Time is one cruel concept, indeed!

An endless collision of light and dark

Light, dark, good, evil, Hylian, demon overlord. Throughout the Zelda series, there has always been conflict. Even during the most peaceful decades, darkness always slips through the bomb cracks.

The face beneath the mask

Majora’s Mask, as the name suggests, is totally down with that concept. Towards the end of the game, one of the final NPCs that Link encounters utters one of the most intriguing, yet creepy, lines from the tale:

The power of friendship

Friendship is truly a beautiful thing in The Legend of Zelda. In Ocarina of Time, Link had some of the most long-lasting and special relationships. Some of the faces the hero meets truly help out when times get tough, and another timeless phrase from Sheik really highlights those bonds:

The power of Zelda friendship

Majora holds the strings

A puppet. The devious, evil mask embodies the pure spirit of meanie. It holds no bounds, the true magic manipulator, riddled in its desire for destruction. A mask needs someone to wear it, however. Once Majora finishes with its host, well, there’s no longer need for the carrier…
