The Twili are a mysterious group introduced in {{Game|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}, residing in the {{Location|Twilight Realm}}. They are the descendants of the Interlopers, a group of magic-wielding individuals who were banished from Hyrule after attempting to seize the power of the Sacred Realm during an ancient conflict. This banishment was enforced by the Light Spirits, who exiled the Interlopers to the Twilight Realm as punishment for their greed and misuse of dark magic.

=== Post-Banishment History ===
Over generations, the Twili adapted to their new home, evolving into a peaceful and introspective society that abandoned their ancestors' destructive ambitions. Their unique appearance, marked by shadowy forms and glowing, intricate patterns, reflects their connection to the Twilight Realm’s ethereal nature. The Twili developed a culture distinct from Hyrule, emphasizing harmony and balance within their isolated dimension.

This tranquility is shattered when Zant, a Twili driven by bitterness over his perceived rejection as ruler, forms an alliance with Ganondorf. Zant seizes the throne, corrupts many of the Twili into shadow beasts, and uses their latent power to spread twilight over Hyrule. His actions threaten to destroy the delicate equilibrium of light and shadow.

Midna, the rightful ruler of the Twili, embodies their potential for redemption and change. Through her journey alongside Link, the Twili are shown to be a race capable of overcoming their dark origins and reclaiming their place as a noble people. The Twili’s story reflects themes of transformation, the weight of ancestral sins, and the possibility of renewal.
