 '''Twili''' have elongated gray-and-black bodies tinged with powerful magic, and glowing eyes capable of seeing in darkness and twilight. Though their ancestors came from there countless generations ago, they've spent so much time banished to the Twilight Realm that to modern twili that Hyrule is like a fairy tale to them.

-Twili have evolved to the Twilight Realm, and have become so accustomed to life there that they are poorly adapted to the Light World in which Hyrule exists. This is most obvious in their sensitivity to [[bright light]], but also most are unfamiliar with some customs of this world. To them blacks and grays are comforting, while the harsh bright colors of Hyrule are markedly unpleasant. Such twili are accustomed to works of magic, and less familiar with the down-to-earth hard work of agriculture or carpentry.

 Most twili live only in cities of many mixed [[lineages]], such as the Clock Town of Termina. <!--Twili have no major settlements in Hyrule to call their own.--> The strange and often useful knowledge they possess make them valuable among scholars and [[researcher]]s.

 When the [[Zant (creature)|false king]] conquered all the realm, he used accursed masks to transform the twili people into violent beasts that obeyed only him.  Many twili were fortunate enough to be restored fully to sanity and healthy bodies, but even after the king fell some still bore scars&mdash;both mental and physical.  You are either one such twili, or one of their descendants.  For better or worse, you can still transform yourself into one of those accursed shadow beasts if you try.

 Compared to most twili, your facial features are abnormally flat and plain in appearance, to the extent even other twili may find them eerie. Historically your kind have been associated with rebels, including the [[Zant (creature)|false king]].
 Although all twili hail from the ancient race that was banished to the [[Twilight Realm]], your kind has become presumed by some to be the interloping renegades responsible.  Even today the scars of that conflict lead some to prejudice against you simply due to your appearance.
