Lo-and-behold, 2-3 weeks after that, I lost a bunch of my powers. No more creating a portal of twilight, no more fast travel, no more storing items in the Twilight Realm, etc.

Pretty much the only magic I got to keep was to turn into my imp form if I so wanted and melding into the shadows.

It was... expected. Disappointing? Very. But I chose to stay in the Realm of Light knowing the consequences. I did it for my people. They were better off with a different leader who wouldn't abandon them when war struck. They also needed safeguard from the mistakes of those in the Realm of Light. And I wanted to be in the Realm of Light, with Link.

Was it selfish? Yes and no. I could've gone back to the Realm of Twilight like in source and stepped down as the princess of twilight. I could've kept the mirror open as a travel point like quite a few other Midnas. But I wanted what was best for my people while doing what I wanted. So yes, it was selfish to an extent.

Oops, starting to derail my original post here. So let's quickly get back on track: I'm Midna. The former princess of twilight, the one who broke the mirror of twilight, blah blah, yap yap.

Basically I destroyed the mirror of twilight but stayed in the world of light. I returned to Ordon along with Link. It was... weird. No one knew who I was or how Link knew me because I literally would hide in his Shadow all across Hyrule.

I knew a lot about everyone since I overheard every single conversation Link had, but no one knew about me, but Link acted like I was one of his best friends that he knew for weeks/months.

So yeah, weird interactions for the first month or so being in the world of light.

Oh, and now today January 1st is Hyrule Day. So, happy Hyrule Day. This is the day Hyrule was first founded back in ancient past, far before the re-founding of Hyrule by Rauru and Sonia. Back when the original Link and Zelda found Hyrule was this day, the beginning of the Hyrulian new year.

To celebrate today, we launched fireworks and the adults drank alcohol.

Hope all tLoZ sourcemates had/have a very good holiday.🎉🥂

When Link transformed, proving he was the hero of prophecy, my only thought was "oh, I can use him."

That was my thought process for the entire time of both Faron and Eldin. It wasn't until Lanayru when I started to actually care about the Realm of Light and its denizens.

My plan changed slightly to get my true body back and to protect both realms. Then, when I found the broken mirror, Link and I had to go to Snowpeak. When I saw what a quarter of the mirror could do to someone. I realized that the artifacts of my realm were too terrible to keep around.

Fast forward to as I'm saying my (fake) goodbyes to Link and Zelda. Zelda suggested that we keep the mirror intact so we could travel between our realms. But... I knew what had to be done. My people's artifacts had damaged the Realm of Light. So... I shattered the mirror, forever separating our realms.

A difficult decision for me as I had to also choose: my people or staying with the person I grew to love. I chose Link. My people would've voted for a new leader after another 9 years anyway. I was only to rule for a decade, just like the previous leader and the one before and so on.

Jesus Christ, my soul existed in the same universes 3 times... I'm already Linkle (tLoZ), Pride/Selim Bradley (FMA:B), and Lillie Aether (Pokémon)

I know a lot of kinnies have a few kins from the same universe, this is the first time I've ever had that. Welp!

My canon divergence: I destroyed the Mirror of Twilight but didn't return to Twilight Realm.

For two reasons:

I loved Link and wanted to stay with him, abandoning my princess duties.

I already abandoned my people before, it would've been shameful of me to return, even if I helped Link liberate the Twilight Realm from Zant.
