In the Past, Veran, posing as Nayru, uses her powers to alter the [[Present]] and influences [[Queen Ambi]] to build the [[Black Tower]]. Eventually, Link travels to the Past, engaging in a battle with Veran that would free the body of Nayru from her grasp. However, before Link can finish the job, Veran possesses Queen Ambi and quickly flees to the Black Tower. | ==''Oracle of Ages''== | ||

Veran has a unique ability that allows her to possess the bodies of others and force them to do things to her liking. Early on in the game, [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]] meets up with [[Impa]] within the Forest of Time. Link helps to move a block displaying the symbol of the Triforce on it which leads to an area where [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru]], the Oracle of Ages, is found singing. After speaking with Nayru, it is revealed that Veran was possessing the body of Impa just to get past the block and to Nayru. Veran then possesses the body of Nayru and uses her power to travel to the [[Past]]. | |||

After collecting the eight [[Essences of Time]], Link's last stop will be the Black Tower itself, where Veran has taken refuge. Though Link is successful in freeing Queen Ambi's body from Veran, she desperately reveals her true form of a Turtle, a Bee, and a Spider to Link in an attempt to stop him. This would still prove no match for the legendary hero, as Veran would be defeated by Link. However, it is then revealed that Veran was nothing more than a pawn of [[Twinrova]], whose ultimate goal was to resurrect the Evil Demon King [[Ganon]]. Veran's evil doings across the land of [[Labrynna]] would still light the Flame of Sorrow, one of three flames needed to complete the resurrection of Ganon. | After collecting the eight [[Essences of Time]], Link's last stop will be the Black Tower itself, where Veran has taken refuge.

Veran has the ability to take over the body of innocent people. Taking on the guise of a trusted person, she can easily manipulate people into doing whatever she desires. She does this to Link, asking him (in [[Impa]]'s body) to move a stone between her and Nayru. She also possesses Nayru, and with the Oracle of Ages' power, she stops time in the Past and brings chaos and sorrow to the people of the land as they vanish or turn to stone. She uses Queen Ambi to build the Black Tower to fulfill her plans. If Veran is hurt while she is in someone's body, it is the possessed person who dies. Her only weakness are [[Mystery Seed]]s while in this form. | Veran has the ability to take over the body of innocent people.

She can also take the form of a giant Winged Demon with the ability to fire balls of energy from her mouth. | She can also take the form of a giant Winged Demon with the ability to fire balls of energy from her mouth. | ||
Her true form, however, is one she utterly despises and only resorts to it in dire situations. At this stage, she transforms into a Turtle who generates great force when landing, a Bee who fires stingers at the target, and a shielded Spider with her face fully protected. She also turns the ground into acid for a short period of time. | Her true form, however, is one she utterly despises and only resorts to it in dire situations.

== | ===Battle=== | ||
The first time Link fights Veran, it takes place in [[Ambi's Palace]] after finishing [[Mermaid's Cave]]. In this battle, she possesses Nayru's body. She floats around the room before stopping to charge an attack. Her attack is shooting several orbs of energy in a circle around the room. During this time, Link can take out the [[Seed Shooter]] and hit her with a Mystery Seed. This separates Veran from Nayru, allowing Link to pull out the [[Switch Hook]] and switch places with Veran. Link can now slash at her with the [[Sword]] before she flies back into Nayru. After three hits with the Sword, Veran will be defeated for now. | The first time Link fights Veran, it takes place in [[Ambi's Palace]] after finishing [[Mermaid's Cave]].
