Nayru | After being sent by the [[Triforce]] to Labrynna, Link is led to Nayru's hiding place by [[Impa]], the nursemaid of [[Princess Zelda]], who has been searching for the oracle in an attempt to protect her from a great danger. Nayru is found singing in the [[Forest of Time]], surrounded by woodland creatures and under the guard of her childhood friend, [[Ralph]]. After she is introduced to Link, however, Impa is revealed to have been possessed by [[Veran]], Sorceress of Shadows, who has been seeking Nayru's power in order to spread darkness and sorrow over all of Labrynna. Taking possession of the oracle's body, Veran departs through a nearby [[Time Portal]] and retreats into the distant past, with Link and Ralph departing on separate endeavors in order to rescue Nayru from her grasp. | ||
In the past, Veran enters the service of [[Queen Ambi|Ambi]], the queen of Labrynna, who is overseeing the construction of a great tower that will guide her lover home from the see. Using Nayru's powers, Veran is able to bring about a day that never ends, and manipulates Ambi into forcing her subjects to work endlessly toward the tower's completion. Doing so causes great sorrow and distress in the citizens of Larbrynna, which only increases as the tower grows nearer and nearer to its completion. Meanwhile, Link is tasked by the [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Ages)|Maku Tree]] with gathering the eight Essences of Time, which together can repair the damage done to the flow of time and restore the Maku Tree's lost memories. He does this with help from the [[Harp of Ages]] to travel between past and present; Nayru hid the harp in her house in the hope that a hero would find it. | |||
After | After gathering the sixth Essence of Time, Link and Ralph receive word that Ambi has left her palace, lowering its guard and giving them a chance to sneak in and free Nayru from Veran's influence. Link manages to do so by exploiting Veran's weakness to [[Mystery Seeds]], but upon Ambi's sudden return, the sorceress opts to possess her instead, bringing the palace guards under her control and allowing work on the tower to continue unobstructed. Nayru brings Link and Ralph back to the present age and teaches Link the [[Tune of Time|final tune]] for the Harp of Ages, which allows him to switch between past and present freely and is necessary to gather the last two Essences of Time. | ||
After being rescued, Nayru retreats to the safety of her house in the Forest of Time, where she remains until the end of the game. After Veran is defeated, Nayru informs Link of [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|events]] transpiring in the land of [[Holodrum]]. | |||
===Oracle of Seasons=== | |||
Nayru does not appear in a standard playthrough of ''Oracle of Seasons''. However, in a Linked Game where ''Oracle of Ages'' is completed first, she appears to aid Link following the defeat of [[Onox]], General of Darkness. Nayru combines her power with that of [[Din (Oracle)|Din]], Holodrum's Oracle of Seasons, to grant Link access to the [[Room of Rites]] where [[Twinrova]] plans to resurrect [[Ganon]]. In the event that ''Oracle of Seasons'' is played first in a Linked Game, then the opposite scenario takes place, with Din appearing in Labrynna in order to join forces with Nayru. | |||
