- — Eldin
Eldin is the third Light Spirit Link encounters in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The spirit resides in Eldin Spring, where its power was stolen by Shadow Beasts, turning the area to twilight. After meeting with its broken spirit, which appears to be a small cloud, it gives Link the Vessel of Light to collect the Tears of Light. After all the Shadow Insects are destroyed, it will turn Link back to his true form.
After Link beats the Goron Mines, Eldin tells him to travel to the land guarded by the spirit Lanayru.
At the battle with Ganondorf, Eldin lends some of its power to Princess Zelda by providing her with Light Arrows. After the battle, it helps Midna return to her true form.
Eldin resembles an owl with huge wings. It holds its light in its talons.
[edit] Etymology
Eldin appears to be named after Din, the goddess of power.
