Major Characters

Sheik

Sheik is a mysterious character who first appears before Link when he wakes from his seven year slumber in the Temple of Time. He presents himself as a member of the Sheikah race, having spent the last seven years during Link's absence spying on Ganondorf and aiding all resistance against him, including freeing Ruto when she was frozen in the Ice Cavern. When he approaches Link upon waking, Sheik confirms that Link is indeed the Hero of Time and informs him that he must awaken the Five Sages in order to defeat Ganondorf. He points Link towards the first Temple in Kokiri Forest, also telling him he must first retrieve an item in Kakariko Village.

From that point on, Sheik often appears right before Link enters a Temple in order to teach him the warp songs associated with each Temple. He appears in the Sacred Forest Meadow to teach the Minuet of Forest, at the Temple of Time afterwards to teach the Prelude of Light and allow Link access to the Pedestal of Time, in Death Mountain Crater to teach the Bolero of Fire, by Kakariko's well to teach the Nocturn of Shadow, and in front of the Spirit Temple to teach the Requiem of Spirit. It is notable that at Kakariko's well, before teaching Link the warp song, Sheik had been attempting to prevent Bongo Bongo's spirit from escaping the well. However, Bongo Bongo proved to be too strong for both Sheik and Link, taking them by surprise and fleeing to the Shadow Temple. Before teaching the song, Sheik asked Link to go assist Impa, who had journeyed to the Temple to reseal Bongo Bongo.

After awakening all five Sages, Link returns to the Temple of Time to find Sheik waiting for him there. Sheik then reveals he is actually Princess Zelda. She had disguised herself as a male Sheikah to avoid detection by Ganondorf's forces. She presents the Light Arrows to Link, the only weapon that can defeat Ganondorf, but having shed her disguise, she is quickly found and captured by Ganondorf's magic. Her Sheik disguise is not used again in the game.

Navi

Navi is Link's fairy companion throughout the game, giving him hints and advice on what to do or where to go, as well as acting as his Z-button target mechanism. She has annoyed many players with her constant cries of "Hey!", "Listen!", "Look!", and "Watch out!" She will often fly over nearby secrets and change colors to alert Link. When talked to in battle, she will give information on the monster being fought and sometimes hints on how to beat it.

She was summoned by the Great Deku Tree in the beginning of the game to act as Link's fairy partner and bring the young boy to him. After the events that transpired inside the Great Deku Tree, Navi leaves Kokiri Forest with Link to help him on his adventure. She initially sees Link as a lazy child, doubting that he can really be the Hero Hyrule needs. However, as Link's journey progresses, the two grow to be very close.

Once Link ascends Ganon's Castle and confronts Ganondorf, Ganondorf's aura of evil is so strong that Navi is prevented from helping Link during the first stage of the battle. When Ganondorf transforms into his monstrous Ganon form, Navi is determined not to let him hold her back and is able to assist Link in the final showdown. Upon defeating Ganondorf and traveling back in time, Navi departs through a window in the Master Sword Chamber of the Temple of Time. Her reason for leaving is never explained.

Minor Characters

Fado

Fado is a female Kokiri who has a distinct look from the rest of the Kokiri children. Early on in the game she can be found on a higher platform in the center of the forest. You can reach her by climbing up the ramp near Saria’s house and walking across two rope bridges. She applauds you for reaching her at this higher platform and refers to Link as being a ‘real man’. She gives you some instructional tips on how to use the C-up button as a camera.

Fado can be found within the Lost Woods when Link is an adult and she plays a part in the Trading Sequence. Link returns to the Lost Woods in search of Grog, but he is nowhere to be found. Instead, Link will find Fado near a tree stump. Fado states that everyone who enters the Lost Woods will eventually become lost and turn into Stalfos. After seeing the Odd Potion, she states that this potion is native to the Kokiri Forest and it must be returned. In exchange for the Odd Potion, Fado will give Link the Poachers Saw, an item left behind by Grog.

Know-It-All-Brothers

The Know-It-All-Brothers are three Kokiri boys who serve as guides on how to use some of the basic functions in the game. Their house is located at the west end of Kokiri Forest, near the Forest Training Center. One of the boys will teach you about the various icons at the top of the screen. Another boy will teach you about the map and the three different types of items; equipment items, C-Button items, and Quest items. The third brother will teach you how to use the C-up button to talk to Navi, and to change the camera view.

The three brothers never leave the house throughout most of Link’s adventure. Even when Link returns to Kokiri Forest as an adult, the three brothers are still in their small house. None of the brothers recognize Link when he come back as an adult, and they state that they are awaiting the return of Link.

It isn’t until the end credits that the brothers finally leave the house. They can be seen at Lon Lon Ranch during the End Credits celebration. Strangely enough, the Kokiri children all seem to be perfectly fine in Lon Lon Ranch, even though it is stated that the Kokiri children cannot leave the Kokiri Forest or else they will die.

Kokiri Twins

The Kokiri Twins live in the east end of the Kokiri Forest, inside of the house that is conveniently titled, House of Twins. One of the twins is found inside of the house and if you speak to her, she tells you about the different types of rupees. The second twin is found within the Kokiri Forest Shop. She gives you the hint that most the items for sale in the shop can be found for free within the Forest. She also gives you some instructions on how to use the Deku Shield. Both of the twins will be in their same locations when Link returns as an adult. They don’t recognize Link, and if you speak to them, they are both awaiting the return of Link and Saria.

While these two are the actual residents of the House of Twins, there are a total of five female Kokiri who have the identical visual appearance.

Saria

Saria is a kind-hearted Kokiri girl who many of the other Kokiri look up to. Her fairy companion is pink in color. She is Link’s best friend and their close bond elicits resentment and jealousy from another one of the Kokiri, Mido. Saria is the first to greet and congratulate Link upon his receiving Navi as a fairy partner. When she finds out that Link is leaving the Kokiri Forest, she meets him at the entrance and gives him her Fairy Ocarina as a token to remember her by, sad to see him go. When Link later returns to the forest during the early stages of his quest, he follows the sound of Saria’s music through the Lost Woods and finds her at the Sacred Forest Meadow. She teaches him Saria’s Song, a catchy tune that allows him to speak telepathically with her whenever he plays it. She often gives Link hints to help him on his quest when contacted in this manner.

When Link returns to the Kokiri Forest as an adult, he learns that Saria has gone to the Forest Temple to investigate the cause of the sudden monster infestations in the forest. However, Saria was trapped by the monsters in the Temple and Link must fight his way through the Temple to save her. Upon defeating Phantom Ganon, Saria awakens as the Sage of Forest, telling Link that as a Sage she cannot accompany him, but will continue to help him along his quest, urging him to accept his fate. Mido later reveals that Saria had really liked Link, possibly as a crush though this is unconfirmed. She later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Forest Barrier inside.

Saria is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Mido

Mido is the boss of the Kokiri in Kokiri Forest. Early in the game, He prevents Child Link to see the Great Deku Tree unless he has a Sword and a Shield. When Link acquires the Sword from the Forest Training Center and the Shield from the Kokiri Shop, then he will reluctantly let Link pass through to see the Great Deku Tree. Later on, he blamed Link for the death of the Great Deku Tree without even listening to him. Later when Link returns as an Adult, he is found in the Lost Woods, guarding the entrance towards the Maze near the Forest Temple. Only when Link plays Saria's Song will he let him pass. He also wants to see Link and Saria again, and to apologize to Link for how he had treated him.

Ruto

Princess of the Zoras and caretaker of the Zoras’ patron deity Lord Jabu-Jabu, Princess Ruto is a rather spoiled and sassy young lady with a rebellious attitude towards her father King Zora. Link first learns of Princess Ruto when he finds a message in a bottle that she supposedly wrote asking for help as she had been swallowed by Lord Jabu-Jabu. When Link gets swallowed as well, he finds Ruto safe and sound inside, claiming that she enters Lord Jabu-Jabu all the time. She tells Link that she has lost her treasure, the Zora Sapphire, and demands he accompanies her in search of it. She is captured once she finds the Sapphire, and Link must defeat Barinade to free her. After being saved, she is so impressed with Link that she quite quickly falls in love and declares them engaged by giving him her Sapphire, which is supposed to be her engagement ring.

As an adult, Ruto has become far more mature and responsible. She was trapped in the Ice Cavern when Zora’s Domain freezes over, but after being saved by Sheik she heads for the Water Temple to try and save her people. Link meets up with her again inside the Temple, and she still remembers the engagement. While trying to assist Link in the Temple, Ruto suddenly disappears, only to later awaken as the Sage of Water upon Link’s triumph over the Temple’s boss. In light of her new duties, she cuts off her engagement to Link at that time. She continues to help Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Water Barrier inside.

Ruto is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Goron Link

Goron Link is a member of the Goron race and the son of the Goron Patriarch Darunia. Goron Link is first found rolling around the main centre of the Goron City located within Death Mountain. When you place a bomb or bombchu in his path he will stop mistaking you for one of Ganondorf’s men. Very quickly it becomes apparent to him that you are the “legendary Dodongo Buster” from seven years earlier that he was named after.

After this revelation Goron Link informs you of the kidnapping of the Gorons from Goron City and the resurrection of the evil dragon Volvagia by Ganondorf. He tells you of Darunia’s mission to save the Gorons from Volvagia prompting you to follow suit. Goron Link reveals the secret path to Death Mountain Crater and therefore the Fire Temple located within his father’s room at the base of Goron City. He will also give you the Goron Tunic which is used by Link to withstand the extreme heat found within both Death Mountain Crater and the Fire Temple.

After you save the Gorons, defeat Volvagia and awaken Darunia as a Sage return to Goron City, where you will be thanked by Goron Link.

Impa

Impa is the last member of the Sheikah race, a race of warriors sworn to protecting the Royal Family of Hyrule. She was born in Kakariko Village, originally a Sheikah village, before Impa opened the village up to non-Sheikah entry. Prior to the events of Ocarina of Time, Impa was responsible for sealing the evil spirit Bongo Bongo away into the bottom of the Well of Three Features.

Link first meets Impa when leaving the courtyard of Hyrule Castle after meeting with Princess Zelda. Impa is Zelda’s bodyguard and teaches Link Zelda’s Lullaby before directing him to his next destination in Kakariko Village. Later in the game, when Ganondorf attacks Hyrule Castle Town, Impa takes Princess Zelda and the two escape on a white horse riding away from the Castle.

As an adult, Link witnesses Bongo Bongo escape his entrapment in the Well and flee to the Shadow Temple, which Link enters to chase the evil spirit down. Upon defeating Bongo Bongo, Impa is awakened as the Spirit of Shadow. She asks Link to protect Princess Zelda on her behalf. Impa later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Shadow Barrier inside.

Impa is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Nabooru

As the second in command of the Gerudo Thieves, Nabooru wields a great deal of respect among the Gerudo society. She has her headquarters in the Spirit Temple. Her only superior is Ganondorf himself, who she hates for his evil ways, citing his thievery and murder as unacceptable. She plans to infiltrate the interior of the Spirit Temple to find a treasure she can use to mess up Ganondorf’s plans, but she needs the Silver Gauntlets first. Link first meets her when he travels to the Spirit Temple as a child. Nabooru cannot fit through the passage to the half of the Temple that houses the Gauntlets, so she promises Link something great if he retrieves them for her. Link agrees, but when he returns with the Gauntlets, he sees Nabooru being captured by the twin witches Koume and Kotake.

When he returns to the Spirit Temple and uses the Silver Gauntlets as an adult, Link finds and defeats a particularly powerful Iron Knuckle right before the boss room. When the armor falls off, it is revealed that the Iron Knuckle was actually Nabooru, having been brainwashed by Koume and Kotake. The two witches appear immediately and teleport her away again, and in order to save her Link must defeat the twin witches. Upon successfully taking down Twinrova, Nabooru awakens as the Sage of Spirit and comments that if she had known how handsome a man Link would become, she would have kept that promise she made to him as a child. She later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Spirit Barrier inside.

Nabooru is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Malon

Malon is the daughter of Talon, who works and lives on Lon Lon Ranch with her father and Ingo her uncle. Malon's appearance is a girl with red hair and pointed Hylian ears. As an easter egg from Nintendo, she also wears a Bowser pin. She is dressed in simple farm clothes and brown boots. Malon first appears to Link when Link has reached Hyrule castle for the first time, and calls him,"Fairy Boy."She tells Link she hasn't seen her father in awhile and asks Link to look for him. She gives Link an egg and sends him on his way. The eggs hatches into a Cucco which makes a rooster noise and Talon wakes up. She then returns to the ranch with Talon and can be found there throughout the game. She has a special bond with Epona the horse. She teaches young Link Epona's song,a song her mother composed who is supposedly dead, which allows him to summon Epona to his location when he is an adult. The song also appears to make Epona like Link when he is a child,as Epona will come running to Link in Lon Lon Ranch, but you are unable to ride her. When Epona's song is played to cows at the ranch, they will fill a empty bottle with Lon Lon milk. Malon often sings and she is heard singing at Lon Lon Ranch day and night.

When Link returns to Lon Lon Ranch seven years later, Ingo is evil and Talon is gone. Malon is still working there however, because she fears the mistreatment of the animals. When Link beats Ingo at the horse race, soon after escaping the ranch with Epona, he returns and Ingo is way nicer and Talon comes back to run the ranch. Malon thanks Link for all his help. Later on if you beat Malon's horse racing recording, she gives Link a cow to keep in his home in the Kokiri Forest. This cow can supply Link with Lon Lon milk.

Talon

Talon is the owner of Lon Lon Ranch. He is a rather portly fellow, sporting a bald head and mustache. He seems to resemble Mario as an easter egg. He wears jean overall a red undershirt, brown boots and as another easter egg, a bowser pin like Malons. He seems to be very lazy and sleeps almost all the day and all the night. His daughter is Malon whom he entrusts the horse Epona to.

After the seven years Link is sealed, Talon is kicked off the ranch by his brother Ingo. When Link frees the ranch, Talon no longer sleeps all the time and says he will turn over a new leaf.

Ingo

Ingo is Talon's Brother and Malon's uncle. He slightly resembles Luigi from the Mario series as an easter egg (since Talon slightly resembles Mario). He is portrayed as being skinny and having a large black mustache, wearing pink overalls with a green shirt underneath. When Link first meets him at Lon Lon Ranch, he is grumpy and complains about doing all the work for Talon, who he believes is lazy.

After seven years have passed Ingo has ranch ownership and kicked Talon out, forcing Malon to do the hard work. After Link beats him at a horse race, Ingo turns evil, trapping Link and Epona at the ranch. Link and Epona easily escape by jumping the fence, and when they return, Ingo's personality has changed. He seems to be happy and grateful that he works under Talon.

Darunia

Darunia is the Patriarch, or leader, of the Goron Race. He comes across at tough and rude at first, but this is due to the stress caused by Dondongo Cavern being blocked up and his people starving, Ganondorf's punishment for Darunia refusing to hand over the Goron Ruby.

When Link enters Darunia's room using Zelda's Lullaby, Darunia assumed him a messenger from the Royal Family. Irritated that Link was not, Darunia refused to assist Link. However, Link manages to lift Darunia's mood and make him dance by playing Saria's Song for him. Darunia gives Link the Goron Bracelet and asks him to clear the evil from Dondongo's Cavern. Upon completing the task, Link is made a Sworn Brother and is given the Goron Ruby.

As an adult, Link returns to Goron City to find all the inhabitants imprisoned by the evil dragon Volvagia. Link meets up with Darunia in the Fire Temple, and Darunia heads into Volvagia's chamber to confront the monster, determined to slay the beast even though he lacks the legendary Megaton Hammer. Darunia fails, though Link manages to succeed after finding the hammer, and upon defeating Volvagia he awakens Darunia as the Sage of Fire. Darunia remarks once again that he and Link are true Brothers. He later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and he dispells the Fire Barrier inside.

Darunia is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Happy Mask Salesman

He is a traveling collector and seller of strange, rare, and unusual masks. His erratic behavior, unpredictable temper, strange powers and occasional displays of hysteric outbursts are what makes hims standout eerily. He is the owner of the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Castle Town and will lend masks to Link for him to sell. If Link sells a mask, he rewards with rupees from the buyer, if he fails to return said rupees to the Happy Mask Salesman, he'll throw a fit and throw him out of the store until he pays him back.

• Mask of Truth
• Goron Mask

Sharp

One of the two Composer Brothers of Hyrule. He and his brother Flat composed many songs for the Royal Family, but one was developed in secret: the Sun's Song. Before they could reveal it, however, they were killed. He appears in the game as a Poe when Link checks his grave.

King Zora

King Zora is the ruler of Zora's Domain, and father to Princess Ruto. He is a very large Zora who wears a red vest, making him the only Zora who wears any sort of clothing. His throne is in front of the entrance to Zora Fountain, where Lord Jabu-Jabu and the Ice Cave can be found. When you first meet him, he is seeking his lost daughter, who Link must find in order to obtain the Zora's Sapphire. Later on, he is involved in several sidequests. He rewards Link with a Zora Tunic when he is thawed from the red ice he was frozen in, and he also provides the Eyeball Frog for Biggoron's Eye Drops during the Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence when you bring him the Prescription.

Lord Jabu-Jabu

Lord Jabu-Jabu is a giant whale, and the guardian deity of the Zora. He resides in Zora Fountain and acts as the scene for the third dungeon in the game after he swallows his caretaker, Princess Ruto, as a side-effect of being weakened by a parasitic infection Ganondorf cursed him with. Link must be swallowed as well to find Princess Ruto; he feeds Lord Jabu-Jabu a fish to make the deity open up his mouth. Link must defeat the parasitic Barinade in order to cure Jabu-Jabu and save Princess Ruto.

During Link's seven year absence, Lord Jabu-Jabu disappears for an undisclosed reason, as he is no longer present when Link arrives at the frozen Zora Fountain as an adult. It is unknown what became of Lord Jabu-Jabu.

Deku Tree Sprout

The Deku Tree sprout is a baby form of the Great Deku Tree. He appears after Link defeats Phantom Ganon in the Forest Temple and awakens Saria as the Forest Sage. He was unable to grow before this due to Ganondorf's evil reign over Hyrule corrupting the Kokiri Forest, spawning enemies in the sacred Forest.

Epona

Epona is a flaxen colored horse. She is first seen at Lon Lon Ranch as a young foal and seems to be shy around anyone except for Malon. When Malon teaches Link Epona's song, a song composed by her dead mother, Epona becomes less shy and will approach Link.

After the Seven year period, Link returns to Lon Lon Ranch to find it run by Ingo, who seems to have become evil. Ingo was going to give Epona as a gift to Ganondorf since she is the fastest horse at the ranch. Malon remained at the ranch to protect the animals, but Talon had been exiled. Ingo challenges Link to a horse race, but Link is able to win with Epona, who recognizes him by Epona's Song. After Link wins, Ingo tries to lock Link and Epona in the ranch, though they both escape by jumping the fence that prevents them from exiting. When Link returns to the ranch he finds everything back to normal.

Epona then becomes a quick mode for transportation and Links trusty stead, running up to Link anytime he plays Epona's Song. She proves to be an invaluable ally, particularly for jumping past obstacles along Link's journey such as the fences blocking Lake Hylia and the canyon leading to Gerudo Valley.

Cucco Lady

A kind lady who resides in Impa's old house in Kakariko Village. She tends to the cuccos near the Cucco pen outside, but she suffers an allergy from the said cuccos and therefore fails to keep them properly in their pen. When Link returns all 5 cuccos to the Pen, She will give Link a bottle as a token of her thanks. And if he completes the task again, he'll be given a purple rupee. If he removes a cucco he returned, he'll be scolded. When Link meets her later as an Adult, she will give him a Pocket egg, which will start the trading sequence for the Biggoron Sword.

Carpenters

The five carpenters are under management of Mutoh. They are supposed to be building new structures for Kakariko Village, but instead run around the village in their own route (while Link is still a child). When Link is an adult, they are captured by the Gerudo upon trying to join them. The person who saves them is none other than our hero Link. They then reconstruct the broken bridge that expands over the gorge in the Gerudo Mesa as thanks.

Medigoron

A Goron weaponsmith that claims to be as good as his brother Biggoron. He can be found in Goron City where he has a shop and sells mighty swords. He sells Link a Giant's Knife worth 200 rupees. His skills, are at a lower level than his brother, with his giant's knife breaking after 100 uses, or breaks after hitting into a wall.

Biggoron

A Very large Goron the size of a Mountain and is the best weaponsmith in Hyrule. When Link meets him, his eyes are irritated and asks link if he could get him eye drops. If Link successfully gives eye drops to Biggoron, he will forge him Biggoron's Sword, the most powerful blade in the game, but he must first obtain the Broken Goron's Sword from Mutoh.

Phantom Guide

A friendly Poe who guides Link through the Haunted Wasteland in Gerudo Desert. He can only be seen with the Lens of Truth and must be met at the center of the haunted wasteland.

He's friendly attitude is shown with his choice of words:

"I'll be your guide along the way. But coming back, I won't play. I'll show you the only way to go. So follow me, and don't be slow!"

Great Fairy of Power

Fabulous Five Froggish Tenors

They are a group of five frogs that sing together in a choir, which Link can conduct with his Ocarina. The frogs are first encountered in Zora's River. If Link plays his Ocarina while standing on the tree stump these frogs will pop up. Playing one of the normal songs, will cause one of them to grow and give Link 50 Rupees as a reward per frog. Also, each song will lead the corresponding frog to grow. Link can also play the "Song of Storms" for them in order to obtain a Piece of Heart.

After they have grown and the Piece of Heart mentioned above has been obtained, Link can conduct the fully-grown frogs. Each frog represents one of the C-buttons or the A-button. When a fly appears above a frog, Link must quickly press the button representing that frog. Once this has been done without fail, completing their song, he will be given a last Piece of Heart.

Fabulously Rich Family

The "Fabulously Rich Family" is a very wealthy family located in Kakariko Village that has been placed under a curse by the Gold Skulltulas due to their greed. There are six members in the family: 5 sons and their father. Each one of them has been turned into a Skulltula, but they still have some human limbs and part of their faces. Each one of the children will be transformed back to normal with each consecutive 10 Gold Skulltula tokens collected after defeating a Gold Skulltula, and will each give Link a unique reward. The father says that if Link cures their family of the curse, they will him "very rich." After 50 Gold Skulltula tokens have been collected, the father says to not worry about him, but if Link collects all 100 tokens, the father is returned to normal, and will give Link a Large Rupee (yellow, worth 200) each time he visits the house.

Kaepora Gaebora

Keapora Geabora is a very knowledgeable, very loquacious owl that helps Link during his adventure in Ocarina of Time. He can rotate his head upside-down, causing the markings on his face to resemble another face. According to a gossip stone, he is the reincarnation of an ancient sage, and according to another he is very lighthearted, despite his size.

He first appears directly after leaving Kokiri Forest, telling Link about the map and pointing him towards Hyrule Castle. He appears numerous other times throughout the game in Link's childhood, giving Link advice and knowledge about his quest as well as directions. He is last seen flying over the Desert Colossus when Sheik teaches Link the Requiem of Spirit as an adult.

Koume and Kotake

Koume and Kotake are a pair of Gerudo twin witches with elemental powers, Koume having power over fire and Kotake having power over ice. They act as Ganondorf's surrogate mothers and are very loyal to him.

Link first encounters them as a child at the Desert Colossus when they kidnap Nabooru before Link can hand over the Silver Gauntlets. They then retreat into the interior of the Spirit Temple. Link next sees them after defeating the Iron Knuckle situated right before the boss room in the Spirit Temple as an adult. They had brainwashed Nabooru to serve Ganondorf, making her fight as the Iron Knuckle. When Nabooru tries to escape the two witches teleport her away to be brainwashed again, then they taunt Link before leading him into the boss chamber.

The two witches act as the boss for the Spirit Temple. They fly around the stage trying to hit Link with their elemental magic, and he must defeat them by reflecting one witches magic to hit the other. After a while, the two witches will transform into a single entity, Twinrova, who looks younger, is larger, and wields both elemental powers of fire and ice. Link must defeat her by using her own magic against her.

When defeated, Twinrova splits back into Koume and Kotake. Halos appear over both of their heads and the two begin bickering about their age as they float upwards into rays of light. They curse at Link one last time before disappearing.

Prancing Man in Hyrule Market

A man who prances back and forth from one shop to the next in Hyrule Castle Town. He is distuiguished by his blue pants and his "prancing" action while carrying a bag on his bag. His line is:

Huff huff! I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!

Twins in Kakariko Village

The Twins reside in Hyrule Castle Town. Upon Link's first arrival in Hyrule Castle Town, the two are talking about an attempt one of the Twins made on breaking into Hyrule Castle, effectively revealing the way to get ahead to Link. Shortly before Link's arrival, the twin dressed in blue attempted to sneak into the castle to meet Princess Zelda. He sneaked past the Royal Guard, swam through the moat, and tried to crawl through the drain hole on the side of the castle, but he could not enter it due to his size. As a result of this, the castle guards tightened security in the castle. Link later uses this knowledge to his advantage.

When Ganondorf takes over Hyrule, the Twins retreat to Kakariko Village, where they stay in different houses. Here one of the Twins claims to have seen the ghost of the grave keeper Dampé holding a strange object. The other does not believe him and states that the other Twin is still as hilarious as back in Castle Town.

Rauru

Rauru is the Sage of Light who resides inside the Chamber of Sages. He is the first to greet Link after Link awakens from his seven year slumber. It is implied that he may be immortal or otherwise long lived, as it is revealed that he was one of the Ancient Sages who helped construct the Temple of Time.

When Link awakens in the Chamber of Sages, Rauru explains to Link that he had been sealed away for seven years due to having been too young to bear the title Hero of Time when he pulled the Master Sword. He also explains that Ganondorf had entered the Sacred Realm and touched the Triforce, receiving the Triforce of Power as a result and taking over Hyrule. Rauru informs Link that he must awaken the five other Sages in order to defeat Ganondorf, then transports Link back to the Temple of Time to continue on his journey.

Rauru can communicate via telepathy, calling Link back to the Temple of Time after he awakened all five other sages. He later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and he dispells the Light Barrier inside.

It is notable that Rauru was not with the other Sages on Death Mountain overlooking Hyrule at the end of the game. It is implied that he may not be able to leave the Chamber of Sages.

According to legend, when the three Golden Goddesses descended upon the land, Nayru "poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world."

Poe Hunter

A person who runs the Ghost Shop in the ruins of what was once Hyrule Castle Town. He takes delight in the maliciousness of the Big Poes in Hyrule Field, and will give link Rupees for each Big Poe he gives the Poe Hunter. If he gives all 10 Big Poes, he will give Link a Bottle.

Windmill Man

The Windmill Man spends the entire game inside Kakariko Village's windmill playing his grinder organ. The man seems to have quite the temper problem and is involved in what fans dub the "Song of Storms Paradox". When Link visits him as a child, the Windmill Man is cheerfully trying to write a song inspired by the motion of the windmill. When Link visits him as an adult, the Windmill Man is considerably aggravated and complains that a child with an ocarina "messed up the windmill" seven years prior. When Link shows him his Ocarina, the Windmill Man becomes even more agitated, having been reminded of the song, and plays the Song of Storms angrily, effectively teaching Link the song. Should Link visit the Windmill Man again as a child and play the Song of Storms, the windmill will speed up considerably and drain the Well. The increased speed of the windmill disrupts the Windmill Man's music tempo, causing him to become extremely confused, leading to his anger issues in the future.

Honey and Darling

Honey and Darling can be found in Hyrule Castle Town when Link is a child, where they are complimenting each other during the day and telling Link to go away at night. When Link is an adult, he finds them dancing on the hill behind the Windmill; where they treat Link more callously than before. Honey and Darling seem to be so caught up in the admiration of each other that they radiate a rude, dismissing attitude towards others.

Hot Rodder Goron

A Goron who rolls on about in Goron City within Deathmountain. He rolls on quickly and can't be talked to or stopped. When Link throws a bomb at him, he will stop and give him a bomb bag upgrade. After that he continues on rolling around.

Keaton Mask Soldier

He is a soldier who gives access to Link to death Mountain after Link gives him Zelda's Letter. But he won't let him pass unless he has a Hylian Shield. After Link has received a Shield, he will let him pass, while making fun of him. He also is part of the Mask Sidequest in the game.

Man on the Roof in Kakariko Village

He is a Hylian man who somehow managed to get onto the roof of Granny's Potion Shop and is unable to get back down. Going to the roof and meeting him there will give you a piece of heart.

Pond Owner

The owner of the Fishing Pond in Lake Hylia. He is constantly scratching his armpit. He hosts the Fishing Mini-game where Link could get a Heart piece or a Golden Scale by breaking fish size records. When Link use the rod on the Owner during Ganondorf's reign, he has gone bald unlike when Link first met him in the past, when he had a full head of luscious hair.

Soldier in the Back Alley

There is a lone Hylian soldier who appears only once in the game, right before Link enters the Temple of Time with all three spiritual stones. He is found at the Back Alley in Hyrule Castle Town. He will inform Link of Ganondorf's betrayal and Princess Zelda's escape. He is particularly notable due to the fact that after he tells Link the little information he has, he simply takes his last breath and dies.

Man who could see the Truth
