The long-standing peace in the Light World was shattered by Zant's army of Shadow Beasts. Zant, now known as the King of Twilight, launched an invasion of Hyrule, forcing Princess Zelda to make a difficult choice. She had to decide whether to let the kingdom be ravaged by war or to surrender and allow Hyrule to fall under the rule of the Twilight. The princess chose to surrender. As a result, the Light Spirits across the land lost their light to the Twili. The Light World slowly transformed into Twilight, leaving the people, unaware of what was happening, consumed by a shadowy fear.[1]
