Veran: Difference between revisions

'''Veran''', the Sorceress of Shadows, is the primary antagonist throughout [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]. She 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 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, 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.  

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.  

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 Beedle, 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, who's ultimate goal was to resurrect the evil 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.
