'''Horon Village''' is the largest town and one of the central hubs within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''.

Horon Village can be found at the southern portion of [[Holodrum]] and is one of the first locations that [[Link]] will travel to on his journey. Link first enters the village from [[North Horon]], located just to the north of the Village, as its name suggests. There are two other entrances to Horon Village. To the West, Link will find the [[Western Coast]], and to the East, Link can reach the [[Eastern Suburbs]].

Horon Village is completely free of any enemies, which allows the residents of the Village the roam freely throughout, without having to be worried about being attacked. {{Ref|OoS|576|Woman in Horon Village}} At the center of the village, a Water Fountain can be found. Right next to the fountain itself Link will find a [[Painter]]. Unlike the majority of residents of Horon Village, the Painter will stay put at his location regardless of the changing seasons.{{Ref|OoS|530|[[Painter]]}}

Next to the Tree Stump, Link fill find a staircase that leads to a [[Portal]] that takes him to the land of [[Subrosia]]. Link will first need to travel to the [[House of Pirates]] within Subrosia before he can hit the lever inside this cave, making for easy navigation between Horon Village and Subrosia.

The [[Advance Shop]] is located right next door to the Know-It-All Birds home. As its name suggests, this shop is only accessible if the player is playing using the [[Game Boy Advance]]. If a [[Game Boy Color]] is used, this shop will remain closed. The store is run by [[Stockwell]] and he will sell three items for 100 [[Rupee]]s a piece. These include a [[Gasha Seed]] and two [[Seed Ring]]s. One of the rings is referred to as the [[Advance Ring]] and will be appraised as the [[GBA Nature Ring]].

The [[Horon Village Shop]] is the main shop featured in ''Oracle of Seasons'' and Link can be a variety of goods, including [[Bomb]]s, Gasha Seeds, a [[Wooden Shield]], the [[Iron Shield]], [[Mirror Shield]], and [[Recovery Heart]]s. After Link completes [[Snake's Remains]] and before he travels deeper into North Horon, the Shop will also sell a [[Strange Flute]], which will become [[Moosh's Flute]]. However, if Link previously acquires the Strange Flute from the [[Subrosian Dance Hall]], this Flute will not be for sale. After Link acquires the [[Member's Card]] he can reach the Basement shop, where he can purchase a [[Seed Satchel]] upgrade and the [[Treasure Map]].

In the center part of town, Link will find the [[Clock Shop]]. Despite it being referred to as the Clock Shop, Link cannot purchase any items. Instead, its primary purpose is related to the [[Trading Sequence]]. After Link acquires the [[Wooden Bird]], he can trade it to [[Tick Tock]] and he will get the [[Engine Grease]] in return. Behind the Clock Shop, Link can use his [[Shovel]] to dig up a secret staircase. This leads to an empty room, but if Link is playing a [[Linked Game]], he can encounter an [[Old Man]].

{{Main|Bipin}}, {{Main|Blossom}}, {{Main|Bipin and Blossom's Son}}

At the southwest portion of Horon Village, Link will find [[Bipin]] and [[Blossom]]'s house. Link can travel to this house throughout his quest and the decisions he makes concerning [[Bipin and Blossom's Son]] will have an effect on what type of person the child becomes.

[[Mayor Ruul]]'s house can be found at the northeastern portion of Horon Village. The Mayor has interest in Gasha Seeds and will give him one when he first arrives at his house. After blowing up the wall on the right side of the house, Link can find a second Gasha Seed. Just outside of the Mayor's House, Link will find the lone [[Soft Soil]] location in Horon Village.

===Mr. Write's House===

{{Main|Mr. Write}}

[[Mr. Write]]'s House is located at the southeast corner of the Village. After Link has acquires [[Ember Seed]]s, he can light the [[Torch]] in Mr. Write's house. Mr. Write will thank Link and award him with the [[Cuccodex]], the first item in the Trading Sequence. Link can bomb the east wall to get to the east half of the house. Outside, if the season is Winter, Link can cross the frozen water to reach a treasure chest containing some rupees.

==Maku Tree==

{{Main|Maku Tree}}

The [[Maku Tree]] can be found at the northast corner of Horon Village. In order to gain access to the Maku Tree, Link must first acquire the [[Wooden Sword]] from the [[Hero's Cave]], located just west of the Village along the Western Coast. When Link first meets the Maku Tree, the tree is much smaller than its normal state. As Link begins to acquire some of Essences of Nature, the Maku Tree will begin to grow and flourish. Throughout Link's quest, the Maku Tree speaks to him telepathically, advising him on where to go.
