'''Farore''' is a character who appears in three [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' games]]. She bears the same name as the [[Farore|Goddess of Courage]].
'''Farore''' is a semi-important character who appears in both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. She is known as the Oracle of Secrets.

[[File:Farore-Sprite.png|left]] In both games, Farore resides in a place known as the [[Hall of Secrets]], located inside the [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Seasons)|Maku Tree]] of [[Holodrum]] and [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Ages)|Maku Tree]] of [[Labrynna]]. While she does not play a significant or necessary role in a playthrough of either game, she is vital to the process of linking between the two of them.
[[File:Farore-Sprite.png|left]]Although she is the Oracle of Secrets, Farore has little backstory or importance to the plot at all. Located within the [[Maku Tree]], she keeps a [[Book of Secrets]] that allows Link to save [[Passwords]] he hears from various people throughout [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]]. Farore also has the power to turn certain secrets into objects for Link to use throughout his adventure.  


If Link has already completed his journeys through Labrynna or Holodrum and is playing a [[Linked Game]], there are certain times throughout his travels where someone tells him a secret password to be taken to Holodrum or Labrynna and told to other specific characters. Those people then give Link another secret to bring back to Labrynna or Holodrum and ultimately tell to Farore. Once the process is complete, Farore makes Link's secrets take form, resulting in the gaining of rare items that, for the most part, cannot be received otherwise. This process works both ways, whether Link completes his journey in Labrynna or Holodrum first. The second quest is always the place where various characters begin to tell Link secrets throughout the game.  
Occasionally while playing a [[Linked Game]], Link will come across characters who otherwise do not appear in either ''Oracle of Seasons'' or ''Oracle of Ages''. These characters will ask that he relay a secret from them to another character in either Holodrum or Labrynna—whichever game Link's first journey was set in. When these secrets are relayed, they unlock new items and upgrades for whichever game was completed first, which can then be transferred back to a Linked playthrough by giving a second password to Farore. Farore also keeps record of all secrets Link has uncovered thus far, kept in a book known as Farore's Memory.


Originally, there were going to be three ''Oracle'' titles in the series, and all were going to interact much like ''Seasons'' and ''Ages'' do now. However, because of time restraints, and the difficulty of having three games all interacting with each other, the third title was cancelled. This game was to be titled ''[[The Mystical Seed of Courage]]'' originally, and was to feature Farore as the primary Oracle figure, likely in a similar situation as Nayru and Din in their respective ''Oracle'' games.
In ''Oracle of Seasons'', Farore's services can only be accessed upon completion of the game's second dungeon, [[Snake's Remains]], as at least two [[Essences of Nature]] are required for the Maku Tree to grow to the extent that the door to the Hall of Secrets is made accessible. This is not the case in ''Oracle of Ages'', where the door to the Hall of Secrets is present from the very start of the game, so long as Link is in the present.

Farore is a semi-important character who appears in both Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. She is known as the Oracle of Secrets.

Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages

Farore-Sprite.png

In both games, Farore resides in a place known as the Hall of Secrets, located inside the Maku Tree of Holodrum and Maku Tree of Labrynna. While she does not play a significant or necessary role in a playthrough of either game, she is vital to the process of linking between the two of them.

Occasionally while playing a Linked Game, Link will come across characters who otherwise do not appear in either Oracle of Seasons or Oracle of Ages. These characters will ask that he relay a secret from them to another character in either Holodrum or Labrynna—whichever game Link's first journey was set in. When these secrets are relayed, they unlock new items and upgrades for whichever game was completed first, which can then be transferred back to a Linked playthrough by giving a second password to Farore. Farore also keeps record of all secrets Link has uncovered thus far, kept in a book known as Farore's Memory.

In Oracle of Seasons, Farore's services can only be accessed upon completion of the game's second dungeon, Snake's Remains, as at least two Essences of Nature are required for the Maku Tree to grow to the extent that the door to the Hall of Secrets is made accessible. This is not the case in Oracle of Ages, where the door to the Hall of Secrets is present from the very start of the game, so long as Link is in the present.

The Minish Cap

Farore-TMC-Sprite.png

Farore also makes an appearance in The Minish Cap, located in the Happy Hearth Inn. In this game, she, along with Nayru and Din, is looking for a house to move into. While the three girls like being in town, Farore doesn't like the idea of living at the Inn forever.[1]

After Link has completed the Fortress of Winds, he is able to fuse Red Kinstones with Farore. This causes Gorman to appear within Hyrule Town. He has an idea that he can rent out his house to earn some extra cash.[2]

After Link finds Farore a home, she offers him Farore's Charm. To receive this, Link must have one Empty Bottle to carry it in and he can only have one at a time. Additionally, her Charm is always free and boosts attack and defense.

Trivia

  • Farore's limited presence and focus compared to the other two oracles is due to the cancellation of a third Oracle game while the final two were in development. Originally, Farore was intended to be a singer with a harp, whereas Nayru was envisioned as a painter or artist in a color-themed game. Complications in linking three different games together, however, led to the third title being scrapped and Farore's role being given to Nayru.
