===Ocarina of Time===

Impa appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' as the loyal [[Sheikah]] body guard, or nursemaid, of Princess Zelda. She is depicted as a woman with a sturdy build, short white hair in a small ponytail and red eyes. Her appearance is quite younger than some of the other games she appears in. She was born and raised in [[Kakariko Village]], and still maintains a watchful eye over the village despite her duty to the [[Royal Family]].

Seven years later when Link goes to Kakariko in order to investigate the location of the [[Shadow Medallion]], Link finds out that Impa has sealed away a [[Bongo Bongo|great evil]] in the [[Bottom of the Well]] prior to the events in ''Ocarina of Time''. This great evil had taken up residence in the [[Shadow Temple]], and Impa had disappeared trying to seal it again. After defeating [[Bongo Bongo]], the great evil, Impa awakens as the Sage of Shadow. She asks Link to take care of Zelda since her duties of being a [[Sages|Sage]] keep her from Zelda's side. Impa and the other Sages lend Link their power in sealing Ganondorf. Impa is last seen during the end credits standing atop [[Death Mountain]] with the other Sages.

===Oracle of Seasons===

As the nursemaid of Zelda, Impa is sent to [[Holodrum]] to protect [[Din (Oracle)|Din]], the Oracle of Seasons. She works as the cook for the troupe of performers that Din dances for. After [[Onox]] kidnaps Din, she tells Link that he must save Holodrum and restore the seasons, and that he should first visit the [[Maku Tree]].

Suddenly, it is revealed that Impa was actually being possessed by the sorceress [[Veran]]. Veran leaves Impa's body and switches to Nayru, then uses the Oracle's power to travel back in time. Impa apologizes for the events that transpired. She then gives Link the [[Wooden Sword]]. In a linked game, she gives him the [[Wooden Shield]].
