Previously, Link the wolf "borrowed" the Ordon Sword and Ordon Shield from Ordon Village so that Midna would let him through the veil of twilight blocking access to Faron Woods. When he got back to the spirit spring in Ordon Woods, he saved the light spirit Ordona from a Shadow Being intent on stealing its light. Unfortunately, the other three light spirits in Hyrule were not so lucky. Link's task is now to help revive them.

So, from Ordon Woods, Link heads north to the curtain of twilight (time 1:07). After she asks Link whether he's sure, Midna yanks him through into Faron Woods.

Faron Woods is looking new and definitely unimproved (time 1:44). The pall of twilight is the same as the one at Hyrule Castle. Midna is not at all proficient in using the sword and shield, but at least she will keep them safe for Link. She agrees to help, but in return, Link will have to gather "some things" for her. Oh, boy. Then, she calls Link's attention to the lamentation of Faron's light spirit. Yes, she's kind of a witch right now, but let's give her some time.

After the scene, Link gains control by Faron Woods' southern border (time 3:23).

As he progresses north towards the spring, Link will get fenced in again (time 4:08). This time, three Shadow Beings drop in for play time. And Midna decides to let him handle them by himself. This is probably to prove a point.

Then, Link fights the Shadow Beings unaided (time 5:03). Unfortunately, when he fells two of them, the last one shrieks to resurrect the others.

Eventually, Midna will drop in again (time 5:43). Now, when you hold down B, Midna will create an energy field that will lock on to all the enemies within it. This is the way to finish off the Shadow Beings.

Soon, the three Shadow Beings are all beaten (time 6:28). Their portal turns green.

Link continues north to the Faron Woods spirit spring (time 6:52). When Link talks to the remnants of the light spirit, it gives him the Vessel of Light needed to collect the fragments of its stolen light. The light is held by Dark Insects scattered throughout Faron Woods. Fortunately, the light spirit is able to pinpoint their locations on the map. The Dark Insects can only be seen with X Senses.

Afterwards, Link continues north (time 10:29). The first couple of Dark Insects are located along the narrow corridor, but it is probably a good idea to take out the Twilit Deku Babas before focusing on the Dark Insects. Avoid attacking when they emit electricity. When defeated, they leave behind tears of light that must be collected.

In the northeast, the third Dark Insect is on the exterior of Coro's house (time 11:48). Link can dislodge it by ramming into the wall.

Then, Link will need to use Midna's help to get inside Coro's house (time 12:24). Talking to Coro's spirit will reveal the Dark Insects four and five hiding here.

Next, Link heads towards the darkened cave along the northwest path (time 14:23). The gate is now locked, but Link can dig through the hole under the fence. Just past the fence, he locates the sixth and seventh Dark Insects.

Link heads on into the dark cave (time 14:46). No need to slog all the way through. Link's senses reveal a hole just past the first torch that he can dig through to get close to the end. Nice!

Then, he exits to the large open area (time 15:10). However, the basin is now filled with a lethal purple fog. The eighth and ninth Dark Insects are located on the wall to the right just after entering. These two are capable of flight. Getting across the fog requires a lot of help from Midna.

Dark Insects ten, eleven, and twelve are located in the destroyed tree in the middle of the area (time 16:57).

In the southwest, near the exit to the Forest Temple path, the thirteenth and fourteenth Dark Insects have burrowed under the ground (time 17:56). Link must dig up these little pests before taking them out.

Link heads on into the Forest Temple path, the last portion of Faron Woods (time 18:39). At least for now. Three more Shadow Beings attack Link just inside this area. The first one can be killed normally, but don't forget that the last two must be dispatched with Midna's energy field. Their portal turns green when they are gone. Intriguing... that is the third so far. Also, take note of the bridge section that has been left here all too conveniently.
