Using illusory magic, Zant creates an interactable arena based out of a location from his opponents' memories. He will generally utilize the terrain in these illusions to his advantage, only being able to be struck once he exposes himself to attack.

The usurper king of Twilight is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Source The usurper king of the Twili at first appears to be a calm, cold calculating king, impossible to phase in in his might and evil. However, when in combat, Zant reveals his true nature as an unhinged madman, whirling around, screaming and cackling as he does battle.
