Oracle of Ages Characters: Difference between revisions

After completing his adventures in both [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]], Link finds out that the cause of Veran's mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches Koume and Kotake to resurrect the evil king Ganon. The actions of Veran and Onox caused the Flames of Sorrow and the Flame of Destruction to be lit. In an attempt to light the third and final flame for their ritual, [[Twinrova]] kidnaps Princess [[Zelda]] to be used as a sacrifice. Although Link is able to defeat Twinrova and save Zelda from the ritual, he cannot stop the resurrection of Ganon, as Twinrova ends up sacrificing their own body as a vessel for the evil king.The resulting incarnation of Ganon lacks much intelligent thought, though he does show knowledge of who he is. Still, Ganon proves to be the toughest obstacle that Link must overcome if he is to restore peace to the world and take his destined place in history as the Legendary Hero. Through a [[Linked Game]], Link can go to a secret altar where they fight Ganon.

Impa is the Royal Nurse for Princess [[Zelda]] and has cared for her since her birth. Impa was sent to Labrynna by Princess Zelda with instruction to bring Nayru back to [[Hyrule]] in order to protect her from shadows that surrounding her. Impa is saved from octoroks by Link while she was looking for Nayru and with Link's help she is able to reach the Oracle. However, it is revealed that Veran had been controlling Impa and used Link to reach Nayru and possess her body. After reverting to her normal self, she thanks Link for saving her and, upon seeing the symbol of the Triforce on Link's left hand, tells Link that he is the hero that must save this world. She gives him the [[Wooden Sword]], entrusted to her by Princess Zelda. Impa then takes refuge in [[Nayru's House]] for much of the game. In a Linked Game, Impa gives Link a [[Wooden Shield]] instead of the Wooden Sword.

Nayru is a young, wise, and serene woman who has one of the finest voices in all of Labrynna. She spends her days singing to both the humans and animals of the land, as well as occasionally playing her [[Harp of Ages]]. However, Nayru's true identity is that of the Oracle of Ages, which grants her the power to control the currents of time. Nayru has a close friend from her childhood in [[Ralph]], who also serves as her protector and is always nearby. Veran, after posing as Impa and manipulating Link, is able to gain access to Nayru and take control over her body. With the power of the Oracle of Ages, Veran gains the ability to travel back 400 years into the past and wreak havok throughout Labrynna, thus affecting the events of the present. One of Link's first objectives then is to not just stop Veran, but if possible, save Nayru as well. Eventually, he is able to do so after a confrontation at [[Ambi's Palace]] in the past. Shortly after, Veran assumes control of [[Queen Ambi]]'s body. After being freed from the clutches of Veran, Nayru returns home where she remains until the end of Link's quest. Once Link defeats Veran for the final time, Nayru warns him of problems in the land of Holodrum. Link then must travel to this land, where he eventually saves [[Din]], the Oracle of Seasons, and ultimately battles against Twinrova and the evil king Ganon.
