===Special Attack===
Midna brings her hair's hand over her head, twisting the arm like a corkscrew, as a large ball of Twilight magic grows and swirls in the palm. When it has reached sufficient size, she bounces it once and then dunks it down onto the enemies ahead. This attack hits a very peculiar range - a circular area some distance ahead of Midna. Enemies directly in front of her, while hit by the bounce of the magic ball, will not be hit by the blast. The attack carries no Element.
==Trivia==
*The shadow wolves that Midna summons to run and attack with are a full reference to Wolf Link in ; these wolves even bear a resemblance to him.
