Nabooru
- This article is about the character in Ocarina of Time. For the town in The Adventure of Link, see Town of Nabooru. It is under 'Town of Nabooru', below.
Nabooru is a character from Ocarina of Time. After Ganondorf, she is the leader of the desert tribe, the Gerudo, a tribe consisting entirely of women and where a single man is born once every one-hundred years.
Although Nabooru is a Gerudo, she does not bow down to Ganondorf and rebels instead.[2]
Link first encounters Nabooru as a child at the Desert Colossus. Nabooru asks Link to find a treasure located deep within the Spirit Temple. The treasure she seeks is the Silver Gauntlets.[3][4][5] However, after finding the gauntlets, Link witnesses Nabooru being succumbed to the black magic of Ganondorf's surrogate mothers, Koume and Kotake (Twinrova).[6][7][8]
Nabooru is next seen seven years later, when Link is an adult. She had been brainwashed and forced to serve Ganondorf in the form of an Iron Knuckle. Link defeats her and Nabooru is awakened from her brainwashed state; however, she is quickly vanquished by the magic of Koume and Kotake once again.[9][10][11][12][13]
Upon defeating the combined form of Koume & Kotake, known as Twinrova, Nabooru is awakened as the Sage of Spirit.[1] After revealing herself, she compliments Link[14][15] and bestows the Spirit Medallion unto him.[16]
Nabooru assists the other Sages in sealing away Ganondorf in the Sacred Realm at the end of the game.

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.

With his followers, he stole from women and children, and he even killed people! A kid like you may not know this, but the Gerudo race consists only of women. Only one man is born every hundred years... Even though our laws say that lone male Gerudo must become King of the Gerudo, I'll never bow to such an evil man! By the way, what is your name, kid? Link?! What kind of name is that? Well...anyway..." — Nabooru, Ocarina of Time.

If you equip them, you can easily push and pull very heavy things! No, no, no, kid! Don't even think about taking this treasure for yourself! The Silver Gauntlets won't fit a little kid like you if you try to equip them! I want you to be a good boy and give them to me! Ganondorf and his minions are using the Spirit Temple as a hideout. Only the Silver Gauntlets will allow me to sneak deep into the temple. Once there, I'm going to steal all the treasure inside and mess up their plans! How about it? Will you do it?" — Nabooru, Ocarina of Time.
