'''Midna''' ({{ja|ミドナ|Midona}}, ''Midna'') is a major character in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}''.

 

[[File:Midna-Origin.jpeg|left|thumb|200px|Midna stopping [[Ganon]] in ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''.]]

Midna originates from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', where she is one of the main characters. She assists [[Link]] on his quest, especially when he is {{s|zeldawiki|Wolf 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 jealous {{s|zeldawiki|Zant}}. 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 the {{s|zeldawiki|Fused 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 of {{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule 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 the {{iw|zeldawiki|Mirror 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 her ''{{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors}}'' appearance. These moments were the basis of her mechanics as an assist trophy.

Midna appears by name in the title of [[Midna's Lament]], an unlockable musical track playable on the [[Bridge of Eldin]] stage. Also, she appears in [[List of SSBB trophies (The Legend of Zelda series)|two trophies]], and [[List of stickers (The Legend of Zelda series)|two stickers]], though one is alongside {{s|zeldawiki|Wolf Link}}.

Midna appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. Akiko Komoto reprises her role as Midna, with her portrayals being re-purposed from ''The 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 cannot [[shield]] to avoid her attacks, though they can be [[dodge]]d. 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.

 

*In {{for3ds}}, if Midna is summoned on [[Rainbow 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.

|desc-3ds-ntsc=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.

===As an Assist Trophy===

Midna returns as an [[Assist Trophy]], functioning identically to how she did in Smash 4, albeit KOing now earns a point. [[Training Mode]] describes her Assist Trophy with the following: ''Warps around the stage, grabbing and throwing opponents with a powerful swing.'' She cannot be summoned on Golden Plains, Green Hill Zone, Midgar, Skyloft, and Spirit Train.
