Impa appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' as the loyal [[Sheikah]] body guard, or nursemaid, of Princess Zelda. She is depicted as a woman with a sturdy build, short white hair in a small ponytail and red eyes. Her appearance is quite younger than some of the other games she appears in. She was born and raised in [[Kakariko Village]], and still maintains a watchful eye over the village despite her duty to the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]].
Impa is the loyal [[Sheikah]] attendant of [[Zelda#Ocarina of Time|Princess Zelda]].  She was born in Kakariko Village, originally a Sheikah village, before she opened the village up to non-Sheikah entry. Link first meets Impa when leaving the [[Castle Courtyard|courtyard]] of [[Hyrule Castle]] after his first meeting with Princess Zelda. Impa teaches Link [[Zelda's Lullaby]] to fulfill Zelda's prophetic dream, then escorts Link out of the castle to [[Hyrule Field]]. Once there, Impa advises Link to go to Kakariko Village and see what clues he can find that lead to the [[Goron's Ruby|Spiritual Stone of Fire]]. Later, when Ganondorf attacks Hyrule Castle, Impa takes Princess Zelda and the two escape on a white horse, riding away to parts unknown.


Link first meets Impa after sneaking past the guards in [[Hyrule Castle]] to meet with Princess Zelda. Impa then teaches Link [[Zelda's Lullaby]] because of what Zelda's dream had foretold. She then escorts Link out of the castle. After they are safely outside the Castle, Impa advises Link to go to Kakariko Village and see what clues he can find that lead to the [[Goron's Ruby|Spiritual Stone of Fire]].
Seven years later when Link goes to Kakariko in order to investigate the location of the [[Shadow Medallion]], he witnesses a [[Bongo Bongo|great evil]] escape the seal Impa placed on the [[Bottom of the Well]] to keep it trapped. This great evil had taken up residence in the [[Shadow Temple]], and Impa had disappeared trying to seal it again. After defeating [[Bongo Bongo]], the great evil, Impa awakens as the Sage of Shadow. She asks Link to take care of Zelda since her duties of being a [[Seven Sages|Sage]] keep her from Zelda's side. Impa and the other [[Seven Sages|Sages]] lend Link their power in confronting and sealing [[Ganon]]dorf. She is last seen during the end credits standing atop [[Death Mountain]] with the other newly-awakened Sages.
 
Upon collecting all the [[Spiritual Stones]], Link returns to a scene much like the dream he had at the start of the game. Impa is shown fleeing on a white horse with Zelda. Zelda then throws an object at Link, which he discovers to be the [[Ocarina of Time]]. [[Ganon]]dorf is shown following close behind them on a black horse, and questions Link as to which direction Impa and Zelda went. It becomes apparent that Ganondorf has taken over Hyrule Castle, and this forced Impa to flee with Zelda.
 
Seven years later when Link goes to Kakariko in order to investigate the location of the [[Shadow Medallion]], Link finds out that Impa has sealed away a [[Bongo Bongo|great evil]] in the [[Bottom of the Well]] prior to the events in ''Ocarina of Time''. This great evil had taken up residence in the [[Shadow Temple]], and Impa had disappeared trying to seal it again. After defeating [[Bongo Bongo]], the great evil, Impa awakens as the Sage of Shadow. She asks Link to take care of Zelda since her duties of being a [[Seven Sages|Sage]] keep her from Zelda's side. Impa and the other Sages lend Link their power in sealing Ganondorf. Impa is last seen during the end credits standing atop [[Death Mountain]] with the other Sages.
