This time around he is able to transform into a wolf with the help of an imp named Midna. Princess Zelda You meet Princess Zelda early in the game. She identifies herself and the cause of the Twilight that has encompassed Hyrule. It was her surrender to the Usurper King, Zant, that caused him to take over the Kingdom of Hyrule.
