The '''Sage's Medallions''' are a set of [[Item|key items]] that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.
==Overview==
The Sages' Medallions are physical tokens that symbolize the awakening and power of their respective Sage, as well as their bond to the [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Hero of Time]]. Each one is a large, metal token with the corresponding color and symbol of their Sage, and the [[Triforce]] is emblazoned on the back. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', the Medallions' designs have been updated, to feature an ancient pattern around the rim of the Medallion.
The Sages' Medallions serve as the key items of the adult era, with each one being rewarded to Link after he has completed one of the [[Dungeon|Temples]] around [[Hyrule]] and awakened the respective Sage. Once Link has obtained all six Medallions, the Sages will allow Link to enter [[Ganon's Castle]] by creating a bridge over the moat.

*The Forest Medallion's symbol resembles that of the [[Bombos Medallion]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. In ''Ocarina of Time 3D'', the appearance is altered to have three crescents instead of four, likely to avoid resemblance to a swastika.

*The Spirit Medallion's symbol is based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_(astrology)|astrological sign of Cancer], or the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang| Yin and yang] symbol.

The Sage's Medallions are a set of key items that appear in Ocarina of Time.

Overview

The Sages' Medallions are physical tokens that symbolize the awakening and power of their respective Sage, as well as their bond to the Hero of Time. Each one is a large, metal token with the corresponding color and symbol of their Sage, and the Triforce is emblazoned on the back. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, the Medallions' designs have been updated, to feature an ancient pattern around the rim of the Medallion.

The Sages' Medallions serve as the key items of the adult era, with each one being rewarded to Link after he has completed one of the Temples around Hyrule and awakened the respective Sage. Once Link has obtained all six Medallions, the Sages will allow Link to enter Ganon's Castle by creating a bridge over the moat.

  1. ↑ "Link... Wake up... Link, the chosen one..." — Rauru, Ocarina of Time.
  2. ↑ "I am Rauru, one of the ancient Sages... Ages ago, we ancient Sages built the Temple of Time to protect the entrance to the Sacred Realm... This is the Chamber of Sages, inside the Temple of Light... The Temple of Light, situated in the very center of the Sacred Realm, is the last stronghold against Ganondorf's evil forces. The Master Sword--the evil- destroying sword that you pulled out of the Pedestal of Time--was the final key to the Sacred Realm. Link... Don't be alarmed... Look at yourself...!" — Rauru, Ocarina of Time.
  3. ↑ "The Master Sword is a sacred blade which evil ones may never touch.... Only one worthy of the title of "Hero of Time" can pull it from the Pedestal of Time.... However, you were too young to be the Hero of Time.... Therefore, your spirit was sealed here for seven years. And now that you are old enough, the time has come for you to awaken as the Hero of Time! Well, do you understand your destiny? Yes No" — Rauru, Ocarina of Time.
  4. ↑ "But, remember... Though you opened the Door of Time in the name of peace... Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Thieves, used it to enter this forbidden Sacred Realm! He obtained the Triforce from the Temple of Light, and with its power, he became the King of Evil... His evil power radiated from the temples of Hyrule, and in seven short years, it transformed Hyrule into a world of monsters. My power now has only little influence, even in this Sacred Realm... Namely, this Chamber of Sages. But there is still hope... The power of the Sages remains. When the power of all the Sages is awakened... The Sages' Seals will contain all the evil power in the void of the Realm... I, Rauru, am one of the Sages... And... Your power to fight together with the Sages makes you the Hero of Time! The Hero of Time, chosen by the Master Sword! Keep my spirit with you... And, find the power of the other Sages and add their might to your own!" — Rauru, Ocarina of Time.
  5. ↑ "I always believed that you would come. Because I know you... No... You don't have to explain it to me... Because it is destiny that you and I can't live in the same world." — Saria, Ocarina of Time.
  6. ↑ "I will stay here as the Forest Sage and help you... Now, please take this Medallion..." — Saria, Ocarina of Time.
  7. ↑ " By the way, I, the wild Darunia, turned out to be the great Sage of Fire... Isn't that funny, Brother? Well, this must be what they call destiny. Nothing has made me happier than helping you seal the evil here!" — Darunia, Ocarina of Time.
  8. ↑ "Hey, Brother, take this! This is a Medallion that contains the power of the fire spirits--and my friendship." — Darunia, Ocarina of Time.
  9. ↑ "Link... I would have expected no less from the man I chose to be my husband. Zora's Domain and its people will eventually return to their original state." — Ruto, Ocarina of Time.
  10. ↑ "As a reward... I grant my eternal love to you. Well, that's what I want to say, but I don't think I can offer that now." — Ruto, Ocarina of Time.
  11. ↑ "I have to guard the Water Temple as the Sage of Water... And you... You're searching for the princess, Zelda? Hah! You can't hide anything from me!" — Ruto, Ocarina of Time.
  12. ↑ "Princess Zelda... She's alive. I can sense it...so don't be discouraged." — Ruto, Ocarina of Time.
  13. ↑ "I can tell that nothing will stop you in your quest for justice and peace... You must take this Medallion... Take it respectfully!" — Ruto, Ocarina of Time.
  14. ↑ "We Sheikah have served the royalty of Hyrule from generation to generation as attendants. However... On that day seven years ago, Ganondorf suddenly attacked... and Hyrule Castle surrendered after a short time. Ganondorf's target was one of the keys to the Sacred Realm...the hidden treasure of the Royal Family...The Ocarina of Time! My duty bound me to take Zelda out of Ganondorf's reach. When last I saw you, as we made our escape from the castle, you were just a lad... Now I see that you have become a fine hero..." — Impa, Ocarina of Time.
  15. ↑ "Please look out for the Princess!" — Impa, Ocarina of Time.
  16. ↑ "By the way... I really messed up... I was brainwashed by those old witches and used by Ganondorf to do his evil will... But isn't it funny? That a person like me could turn out to be the Sage of Spirit! And now, I'm going to fight them as one of the six Sages! Heh heh... I'm going to pay them back for what they did to me!" — Nabooru, Ocarina of Time.
  17. ↑ "Kid... No... Link, the Hero of Time! Instead of keeping the promise I made back then, I give you this Medallion! Take it!" — Nabooru, Ocarina of Time.
