Faron is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. He is one of the four Light Spirits of Hyrule, and the second that Link encounters during his quest. Residing within the Faron Spring in the Faron Province, Faron's appearance is similar to that of a Monkey with an elongated tail that curls around its bright orb in a fetal position.

Faron's power of light is stolen by Shadow Beasts, engulfing the Faron Province in Twilight. After meeting his broken spirit, which appears as a small cloud, he gives Wolf Link the Vessel of Light to collect the Tears of Light from the Shadow Insects. After all of them have been killed, he will turn Link back into his Hylian form. When this happens, Link will be wearing the tunic belonging to the Hero of Time.
After Link collects the Fused Shadow from the Forest Temple, Faron tells the hero to go to Eldin Province where the Light Spirit, Eldin, dwells.
During the battle against Ganondorf, Faron gives some of his power to Princess Zelda by providing her with Light Arrows. After the battle, Faron helps Midna turn back to her true form.
