"The fourth and final shard is at the Arbiter's grounds itself. I left one shard there," Zant said.

"Why couldn't you have told us this earlier?" Midna said.

"No idea, must have slipped my mind," he said. She thought it odd but let it go.

"After the mirror has been restored, we're going back to Hyrule Castle to face Ganondorf," Midna said.

...

"We're almost at the mirror chamber now," Midna said.

"I hope there aren't any more Poes or sword wielding undead spirits to kill," Link said.

Upon entering the chamber, Zant appeared.

"It's almost a miracle you are still alive," Zant said.

"Have you come here to fight us?" Link said warily.

"No, I've come to help," Zant said.

"Well, you didn't help when a group of shadow beasts attempted to ambush me," Link said.

"The great hero, complaining after only a few fights?" Zant said.

"We didn't come here to argue, Zant," Midna said tiredly.

"Anyway, as I was saying before Link interrupted me... see that fossil over there? I can choose to resurrect it and-"

"And then it'll try to kill me, yes, I already know how it goes," Link said.

"Good. So I'm here to let you know I'm choosing NOT to do so. You may venture forth to see the mirror of twilight," Zant said.

"Thanks, I guess," Link said.

"Only Ganondorf's death can free Midna from her curse. My god will not remove it from her," Zant said sadly.

"You tried asking Ganondorf?!" Midna asked.

"Yes," Zant said. "That's why I'm here. I hope one day that I will be able to hold you in your true form without fear of the approaching dawn." He kissed her and disappeared.

Midna's hand involuntarily moved to her lips, Zant's kiss still lingering on her mouth.
