Midna (ミドナ,Midna) is a major character inThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Origin[edit]
Midna originates fromThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, where she is one of the main characters. She assistsLink on his quest, especially when he isWolf Link, through giving him tips and helping him with her abilities.
Midna was originally a tall, elegant and beautiful woman who acted as the ruler of the Twilight realm (thus the "Twilight Princess"). One day, she was overthrown, transformed into a small imp creature and banished from her home realm by a jealousZant. When Midna first encounters Link, she comes off as a hostile and abrasive character, and forces Link in helping her find parts of a dark relic called theFused Shadows. Despite acting unaware of what Link had been through prior to that point, Midna knew Link was the hero of Hyrule all along. She initially used him to get revenge on Zant, but their many adventures together, including saving each other's lives multiple times, ultimately showed Midna the selfishness of her ways and her agenda changed to saving both Hyrule and the Twilight realm. While their relationship was initially professional and somewhat manipulative, moments in the game and especially in companion media imply that Midna grew a fondness towards Link, going from seeing him as a dog and a tool for her revenge to a true friend worth fighting for. Her change of heart is further shown when near the end of the game, she warps Link and Zelda out to the Eldin province ofHyrule Field to safety. Thought to have been killed in her battle with Ganon, Midna was later revived and restored to her true form. Afterwards, she bids Link and Zelda farewell and destroys theMirror of Twilight, making sure Hyrule and the Twilight realm never cross over again.
In Twilight Princess, one of her signature abilities is changing her hair into the shape of a hand and using it to grab objects. The only instance in which this is used to physically grab enemies is during the battle against Ganon. Her hair-hand is used more extensively as a weapon in herHyrule Warriors appearance. These moments were the basis of her mechanics as an assist trophy.
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
Midna appears by name in the title ofMidna's Lament, an unlockable musical track playable on theBridge of Eldin stage. Also, she appears intwo trophies, andtwo stickers, though one is alongsideWolf Link.

As anAssist Trophy[edit]
Midna appears as anAssist Trophy. Akiko Komoto reprises her role as Midna, with her portrayals being re-purposed fromThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
She stays in place and attacks nearby players with her hair extended into an arm form, grabbing and throwing anything she can get at. If there are no nearby enemies, Midna will teleport closer. If forced offstage, she will teleport back onstage again. As Midna's attacks are considered grabs, players cannotshield to avoid her attacks, though they can bedodged. Getting grabbed and thrown deals 20% damage total. However, she can be attacked, and eventually defeated. Attacking her constantly can stunlock her for long enough that she disappears without retaliating.
Glitch[edit]
- InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, if Midna is summoned onRainbow Road and falls off, she may get bugged and constantly attempt to teleport back onstage unsuccessfully, causing her giggling voice line to loop until she disappears.
Trophy[edit]
Midna's trophy appears in both versions. InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of theTwilight PrincessTrophy Box.
- Midna
Midna is a descendant of the Twili and comes from the Twilight World. She doesn't mind getting a bit bossy with Link, and though she offers to help him, her motives are unclear. Try to ignore her dismissive attitude—maybe she just has trouble showing her true self.

- A girl from the Twilight Realm who seems to look down on the world from a very high horse. She helps Link while he's a wolf, but it's clear she has some kind of ulterior motive. Still, there's more to her than meets the eye, and she and Link eventually come to understand one another.
