The Essences of Time are sacred items controlling time. There are eight in all, scattered across the overworld due to Veran's wrath. Link must traverse the dungeons in Oracle of Ages to collect the essences. As he does so, the Maku Tree will gradually regain its strength until it is powerful enough to overcome the barrier enshrouding the Black Tower.[1]
