The Essences of Nature are eight sacred relics controlling nature and growth. Link must traverse eight dungeons in Oracle of Seasons to collect the essences.[1] As he does so, the Maku Tree will gradually regain his strength until he is powerful enough to produce a Maku Seed that will overcome the barrier enshrouding Onox's Castle.

It is all this Maku Tree has ever asked! I sense evil on the Northern Peak, where the Temple of Seasons rested! Onox has cast a shadow on the Northern Peak. I think you will find him there. You'll need the eight Essences of Nature that lie sleeping in Holodrum. Gathering all eight is the only option. The essences possess the sacred power of nature, with which you can break the shadow barrier and save Din. Shall I repeat it? :›Yes ›No" — Maku Tree, Oracle of Seasons.
