'''Horon Village''' is the largest town and one of the central hubs within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. Much like [[Lynna City]] and [[Lynna Village]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', a bulk of the population lives in this central town. [[Link]] will travel through Horon Village early on in his quest and will return often as he visits important locations including the [[Maku Tree]] and [[Vasu Jewelers]]. The seasons of Horon Village are in whack, causing stress on many of the villagers.{{Ref|OoS|518|Horon Villager}}{{Ref|OoS|523|Horon Villager}}{{Ref|OoS|543|Horon Gardener}}

[[File:Horon-Village-Fountain.png|thumb|left|Horon Village Fountain]]Link firsts visits Horon Village at the very start of his journey, shortly after [[Din (Oracle)|Din]] has been captured by [[Onox]]. [[Impa]] will send Link to the village to meet with the Maku Tree.{{Ref|OoS|759|[[Impa]]}} Once Link arrives in town, he can speak with the townsfolk, but they do not recognize Link. However, they will point Link in the direction of the Maku Tree.{{Ref|OoS|574|Horon Villager}} When Link tries to visit the Maku Tree, the gate is closed. The sign in front indicates that Link must first show courage before he can meet the Maku Tree.{{Ref|OoS|847|Maku Tree Gate Sign}} Link can show his courage by acquiring the [[Wooden Sword]] from the [[Hero's Cave]] at the Western Coast.

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.

{{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.
