Goodreads Synopsis:

Link must defeat evil at every turn in his perilous quest to help Princess Zelda!

Once upon a time, wizards tried to conquer the Sacred Realm of Hyrule. The Spirits of Light sealed the wizards’ power within the Shadow Crystal and banished them to the Twilight Realm beyond the Mirror of Twilight. Now, an evil menace is trying to find Midna, Princess of the Twilight Realm, and the fragments of the Shadow Crystal to gain the power to rule over both the Twilight Realm and the World of Light.

Link and Midna journey toward Death Mountain, seeking a power that can save Hyrule from the Shadow King. In the face of so many obstacles, Link must steel himself to overcome his own doubts and to find Ilia and the other villagers kidnapped by the forces of evil. But even if Link can defeat these challenges, he still has to find the shards of the Shadow Crystal. The quest continues in the Shadow Realm…

Review:

We find out that all of the children have unintentionally joined up in a village way out on a hill. At first this seems good, but then something comes over the village. Thankfully they're mostly safe with a shaman there. Link is on his way there, though also unintentionally. He runs into a man with a nest in his hair, who gives him a lantern, and he's on his way.
Link has to fight his way to save the village. Then he gets Epona back, and he has to face off with a beast. He's determined to find Ilia next, but it looks like there's a few other things he has to take care of on his way.
This series is okay. It's a little average in excitement and characterization for me, so not much of it is really grabbing me. I will admit the scene we got of Ilia in this volume is probably the one that stands out the most to me. Having never played the games, though, it's interesting to find out some of what happens.
