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 ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' to collect the essences. As he does so, the [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Ages)|Maku Tree]] will gradually regain its strength until it is powerful enough to overcome the barrier enshrouding the Black Tower.{{Ref|''Oracle of Ages''|I don't recall, but I think you need the eight Essences of Time hidden in [[Labrynna]] to beat Veran! The essences hold the power to see the truth, and they hold my memory! You won't beat Veran if you can't see the truth!|[[Maku Tree (Oracle of Ages)|Maku Tree]]}}
The '''Essences of Time''' are eight sacred relics that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. Each essence is scattered across [[Labrynna]], hidden in eight [[dungeon]]s. The Essences of Time hold the power to see the truth and hold the [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Ages)|Maku Tree's]] memory.{{Ref|name=truth|OoA|269|Maku Tree}} Once [[Veran]] has gone to the past and altered history, the Maku Tree's memory fades due to the flow of time being disrupted.{{Ref|OoA|270|Maku Tree}} In order for [[Link (Oracle Series)|Link]] to defeat Veran, he must collect all eight Essences of Time to see the truth.{{Ref|name=truth}} As he acquires each essence, the Maku Tree gradually regains her memory and gives hints to where the next Essence of Time is. Once Link has obtained the last essence, time now flows true in the Maku Tree again and begins to remember everything she has forgotten. The Maku Tree remembers that her [[Huge Maku Seed|Maku Seed]] can only be used by a hero who knows the powers of the Essences of Time, seeing truth across time and space. Telling Link he can defeat Veran if he can do this, she gives him the Maku Seed to enter the [[Black Tower]].{{Ref|OoA|283|Maku Tree}}
 
The eternal light of the last Essence of Time, [[Falling Star]], serves as a guide to the other seven essences.{{Ref|OoA|395|Inventory Description}}
