Spoiler Alert! This section describes a subject that is sensitive to plot development. |
After Link has acquired the Master Sword and entered Lorule, Rosso is nowhere to be found. According to a sign left near his house, Rosso has gone to his ore mine on Death Mountain;[15] however, if Link travels to the ore mine, Rosso is not there. Rosso is actually a descendant of the Seven Sages, and was thus captured by Yuga and used to free Ganon. After Yuga was done with Rosso's painting, he sealed the painting away, deep inside the Ice Ruins.
However, Link can enter the ruins as long as he has the Fire Rod. With this item, Link can traverse through the dungeon until he reaches the Boss, Dharkstare. Once Dharkstare has been defeated, Link can free Rosso from his painting. Along with the rest of the freed Sages, Rosso assists in producing the Triforce of Courage, which Link is free to collect.
According to Rosso, he knew he was a Sage for a long time.[16] He never told anybody not because it was a secret, but because he was simply too busy mining to mention it.[17]
Trivia
- Rosso has the Goron symbol on his belt buckle. This may imply that he has some connection to the Gorons, in particular Darunia, one of the previous Seven Sages.
