The Spirit of Ordon Spring
Run as far north as you can go, to the bridge. Then a strange voice calls you into the springs. It is the spirit of Ordon Spring. Too late, it realizes a shadow being approaches! Black, glowing monoliths fall to earth. A portal above you appears! A Twilit Messenger falls out of the sky!
Twilit Messenger Sinewy and frightening, with pulsating veins of red in an otherwise inky black hide, the Twilit Messenger is most troublesome when encountered in groups. But for now, target this foe and when prompted, tap the A button multiple times to latch on, and bite the Twilit Messenger until you’re thrown off. Then finish with a spin attack.  This frightening ghoul from the Twilight Realm is thankfully easy to slay if you bite down hard!  |
Warp PortalTwilit Messengers always announce the arrival of an area of ethereal instability in the area. Usually, after they are defeated, Midna can create a warp portal at this point. Whenever you see Twilit Messengers, fight them as soon as possible to open up more warp portals! |
The beast dematerializes and is sucked back into a differently colored glowing portal vortex. Out of the pool comes a ball of light energy that takes the form of a goat. It is Ordona, one of four light spirits.
Ordona’s brethren have started to lose their power thanks to attacks from these shadowy Messengers. The kingdom is now a netherworld of darkness!
And yet, a hero has risen who can revive the light from the three remaining spirits. Your true power has not been revealed yet, but a journey to Faron Woods, and the revival of the light spirit there, should lead you on your path.
Ordona: The embodiment of the land of Ordona, this magical spirit takes the form of a goat and resides in the spring near Ordon Village. It seeks the light. |
Optionally dig for Hearts in the spring, heal, then leave and journey north, across the bridge (watch you don’t fall off the side!), and dash into Faron Woods. The realm has been transformed with twilight hues and echoing sounds of darkness!
|
Remember that you can still check for dig spots, Rupees in the grass, and additional items during your run through here! |
When you’ve finished foraging, move into the next glade and watch as three Twilit Messengers fall from the sky! Midna flees your back, leaving you to fend for yourself!
Fighting three Messengers at once isn’t as difficult as you’d expect. However, there’s a special stipulation for dispatching all of them: you must defeat the last two Messengers at exactly the same time! Otherwise the last Messenger left alive shrieks to bring the others back, and combat begins anew! Start with a spin to stop all three, then gnaw on one with multiple bites. Keep fighting until Midna appears. She helps you by giving you a new attack. Hold down the B button for an energy field. Enclose all the enemies in it (so they sparkle with red charges), then release the button!
When the Messengers are defeated, continue your journey northward to Faron Spring. There are numerous dig spots to find here. When you’ve had your fill, move to the ball of spirit energy in the middle of the pool near the waterfall. The spirit gives you a Vessel of Light. Set off, following the path to the northeast.
Vessel of Light
You got the Vessel of Light! Use this to collect the tears that cut through the darkness.
|
The Vessel of Light now appears on your in-game screen, and you must locate the evils that consume the tears. Find them by using your sense view. The evils take the form of small winged insects. Check your map, or the one in this guide, to locate all 12 of the Twilit Parasites. |
