Major Characters

Young Link

Link is a child of destiny born during the Hyrulian Civil War. Though he is actually Hylian, he was left with the Great Deku Tree as an infant by his mortally wounded mother and thus was raised as a Kokiri in the forest. He is often picked on by the other Kokiri kids for not having a fairy companion like every other Kokiri. Mido in particular ridiculed Link often, partly also due to jealousy over Link's close friendship with Saria. He is a very courageous and noble individual who is always willing to take up a difficult challenge to help those dear to him.

At the beginning of the game, Link is having a dream in which the sky is pitch-black & stormy, a bridge is lowered across a moat, a woman and a young girl on a white horse ride by, and a sinister-looking man with dark skin and red hair (Ganondorf) on an black, armored horse appears right behind Link when he looks back. When the Great Deku Tree, the guardian of the Kokiri, is cursed by Ganondorf for not handing over the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, he sends Navi the fairy to become Link's fairy companion. After obtaining a sword and shield, Navi takes Link over to see the Great Deku Tree, who explains to Link about the curse and asks Link to break it. Link travels inside the Great Deku Tree and defeats the monster Gohma sent there by Ganondorf, thus breaking the curse. However, the Great Deku Tree was going to die either way, so with his final breath, he tells Link the creation story of Hyrule and the Triforce, the evil man Ganondorf and his origins, and gives Link the Kokiri Emerald, the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, and sends Link out to Hyrule Field -- considered forbidden to the Kokiri, as they believe they will die if they leave the Forest -- to speak with Princess Zelda. Before Link leaves the forest, he is given the Fairy Ocarina by Saria, which allows him to play the various magical songs that are key to gameplay.

Link journeys to Hyrule Castle and finds Princess Zelda, who explains Ganondorf's evil plan to obtain the Triforce and take over Hyrule. She tells Link that he must go find the other two Spiritual Stones before Ganondorf can get a hold of them. Link first travels to Goron City atop Death Mountain, where he obtains the Goron Ruby after gaining the Goron people's trust by clearing the monsters Ganondorf unleashed in Dodongo's Cavern. He then travels to Zora's Domain, where he obtains the Zora Sapphire after rescuing Princess Ruto from the parasites that Ganondorf cursed the deity Lord Jabu-Jabu with.

With all three Spiritual Stones in hand, Link travels back to Hyrule Castle Town, only to have his haunting dreams come to pass. Princess Zelda and her aid Impa dash by on a white horse, but Zelda manages to throw the Ocarina of Time to Link during her escape. Ganondorf appears right behind Link and asks which way they went. Link refuses to tell, drawing his sword and shield, to which Ganondorf simply blasts him with a ball of energy. Ganondorf then proclaims that he will soon rule the world and rides off. Link finds the Ocarina of Time in the moat, and upon finding it recieves a vision from Zelda, teaching him the Song of Time, the final key to opening the Door of Time. With the three stones and now the Ocarina of Time, Link is able to open the Door of Time in the Temple of Time and access the Master Sword's chamber. When he pulls the sword out, however, he is frozen in time by the Master Sword, as it did not recognize a child as young as him to be the Hero of Time.

Adult Link

After being frozen in time and allowed to age for seven years, Link has finally become old enough to hold the title Hero of Time. He is awakened by Rauru, the Sage of Light, in the Chamber of Sages, who explains that when Link opened the Door of Time, Ganondorf was able to enter the Sacred Realm and take the Triforce of Power, since his unbalance heart prevented him from claiming the full Triforce. During Link's seven year slumber Ganondorf used his new found power to take over Hyrule. Rauru tells Link that he must awaken the other five sages in order to defeat the King of Evil.

Link travels through Hyrule once more to awaken the Sages. He first travels to Kokiri Forest, now infested with monsters, to defeat the evil in the Forest Temple and awaken Saria as the Sage of Forest. He then travels to Death Mountain, where the Gorons have been trapped by the dragon Volvagia, to slay the dragon in the Fire Temple and awaken Darunia as the Sage of Fire. Afterwards, Link travels to Lake Hylia, which has been drained of water, to remove the curse on the Water Temple and awaken Ruto as the Sage of Water. He then must journey to Kakariko Village and defeat the evil spirit hiding in the Shadow Temple to waken Impa as the Sage of Shadow. His last stop is Gerudo Valley, where he must free Nabooru from the evil magic of Twinrova in the Spirit Temple and awaken Nabooru as the Sage of Spirit.

With the Sages awakened, Link returns to the Temple of Time to find Princess Zelda waiting for him. She explains that he holds the Triforce of Courage and gives him the Light Arrows before being captured by Ganondorf. Link enters Ganon's Castle to save her and to face Ganondorf, first in his Gerudo form, then in his beastly Ganon form after the castle collapses. With Ganondorf defeated and sealed away, Link is sent back to his own time to relive the childhood that he missed during his seven year slumber.

Princess Zelda

Princess Zelda is the heir to the Royal Family of Hyrule. She is an insightful and intelligent young lady who, as with Link, has had prophecy dreams of the events of Ganondorf's treacherous plans and Link's arrival as the destined hero. Prior to meeting with Link, she had attempted to warn her father, King of Hyrule, about Ganondorf's evil, but to no avail.

Link first meets with the Princess in the Hyrule Castle Courtyard, where she is spying on Ganondorf. She recognizes Link as the destined hero upon seeing him with the Spiritual Stone of the Forest and explains to him about Ganondorf's plot to take over Hyrule using the power of the Triforce. She sends Link out to find and retrieve the other Spiritual Stones, which act as keys to the Door of Time, before Ganondorf can steal them. Though Link succeeds in collecting the stones, on his way back to Princess Zelda, the prophecy dreams come true. Princess Zelda is forced to flee with her bodyguard Impa, but she manages to throw to Link her Ocarina of Time. In a vision, she teaches Link the Song of Time, the final key to the Door of Time.

During Link's seven year slumber, Princess Zelda was forced to disguise herself as a male Sheikah known as Sheik to avoid detection by Ganondorf's forces. As Sheik, she was able to move about Hyrule to spy on Ganondorf's forces and later assist Link along his quest upon his awakening as the Hero of Time. After Link awakened the remaining five Sages, Zelda removes her disguise via the Triforce of Wisdom and reveals her identity to him as the seventh and final Sage, explaining that they both are holders of pieces of the Triforce, Ganondorf having the Triforce of Power, Zelda (again) having the Triforce of Wisdom, and Link having the Triforce of Courage. She manages to give Link the Light Arrows before being captured by Ganondorf, who was able to find her when she shed her disguise.

Ganondorf takes the imprisoned Princess Zelda up to the top of his Castle, where Link faces him in battle. Upon defeating Ganondorf's Gerudo form and freeing Zelda, the castle begins to collapse and Zelda leads the way down through the castle, using her magic to remove barriers in the doorways. In the final battle against Ganon's beast form, Zelda uses her magic to hold him down as Link delivers the final blow. With Ganondorf sealed away and Hyrule saved, Princess Zelda uses the Ocarina of Time to send Link back to the past, allowing him to live his lost childhood.

Ganondorf

As the single male Gerudo born to the Gerudo Tribe every hundred years, Ganondorf was born the king of his people. He is a power hungry thief and sorceror seeking to find the omnipotent Triforce and use it's power to take over Hyrule. Ganondorf is willing to use any means to achieve his goals, including treachery towards the King of Hyrule and manipulation of his own people.

In order to open the Door of Time and obtain the Triforce, Ganondorf seeks to obtain the three Spiritual Stones, which act as keys to the Door of Time. In order to make the holders of the stones hand them over, Ganondorf curses the Great Deku Tree, infests Dodongo's Cavern with monsters, and inflicts a parasite onto Lord Jabu-Jabu.

Link manages to undo all the curses and defeat all the monsters to retrieve the stones himself, but when he returns to Hyrule Castle Town he finds that Ganondorf has already laid siege to the town and drove Princess Zelda out. He allows Link to open the Door of Time, stepping in once the Master Sword pulls Link into a seven year slumber. With Link unable to stop him, Ganondorf enters the Sacred Realm and claims the Triforce for himself; however, his unbalanced heart causes the Triforce to split into three pieces, Ganondorf keeping only the Triforce of Power for himself because his heart desired power most of all. With his newly obtained powers, Ganondorf spends the seven years of Link's slumber ruling over Hyrule with an iron fist and seeking the other two holders of the Triforce.

After Link awakens from his slumber, he sets out to undo the evil Ganondorf has inflicted over the land and awaken the five Sages. After doing so, Princess Zelda comes out of disguise and presents Link with Ganondorf's weakness, the Light Arrows. With Zelda's disguise removed, Ganondorf is able to find her and capture her, using her to lure Link up into his castle. He hopes to take the pieces of the Triforce from Link and Zelda and engages Link in battle. At first, Link seems to win and the castle collapses, but Ganondorf revives in his beast form, Ganon, and engages Link in battle again. In the end, Link comes out victorious, but as Ganondorf still holds the Triforce of Courage he cannot be killed. The Sages are forced to seal Ganondorf away, though he claims that as long as he holds the Triforce of Power, he will return and take his revenge.

Sheik

Sheik is a mysterious character who first appears before Link when he wakes from his seven year slumber in the Temple of Time. He presents himself as a member of the Sheikah race, having spent the last seven years during Link's absence spying on Ganondorf and aiding all resistance against him, including freeing Ruto when she was frozen in the Ice Cavern. When he approaches Link upon waking, Sheik confirms that Link is indeed the Hero of Time and informs him that he must awaken the Five Sages in order to defeat Ganondorf. He points Link towards the first Temple in Kokiri Forest, also telling him he must first retrieve an item in Kakariko Village.

From that point on, Sheik often appears right before Link enters a Temple in order to teach him the warp songs associated with each Temple. He appears in the Sacred Forest Meadow to teach the Minuet of Forest, at the Temple of Time afterwards to teach the Prelude of Light and allow Link access to the Pedestal of Time, in Death Mountain Crater to teach the Bolero of Fire, by Kakariko's well to teach the Nocturn of Shadow, and in front of the Spirit Temple to teach the Requiem of Spirit. It is notable that at Kakariko's well, before teaching Link the warp song, Sheik had been attempting to prevent Bongo Bongo's spirit from escaping the well. However, Bongo Bongo proved to be too strong for both Sheik and Link, taking them by surprise and fleeing to the Shadow Temple. Before teaching the song, Sheik asked Link to go assist Impa, who had journeyed to the Temple to reseal Bongo Bongo.

After awakening all five Sages, Link returns to the Temple of Time to find Sheik waiting for him there. Sheik then reveals he is actually Princess Zelda. She had disguised herself as a male Sheikah to avoid detection by Ganondorf's forces. She presents the Light Arrows to Link, the only weapon that can defeat Ganondorf, but having shed her disguise, she is quickly found and captured by Ganondorf's magic. Her Sheik disguise is not used again in the game.

Navi

Navi is Link's fairy companion throughout the game, giving him hints and advice on what to do or where to go, as well as acting as his Z-button target mechanism. She has annoyed many players with her constant cries of "Hey!", "Listen!", "Look!", and "Watch out!" She will often fly over nearby secrets and change colors to alert Link. When talked to in battle, she will give information on the monster being fought and sometimes hints on how to beat it.

She was summoned by the Great Deku Tree in the beginning of the game to act as Link's fairy partner and bring the young boy to him. After the events that transpired inside the Great Deku Tree, Navi leaves Kokiri Forest with Link to help him on his adventure. She initially sees Link as a lazy child, doubting that he can really be the Hero Hyrule needs. However, as Link's journey progresses, the two grow to be very close.

Once Link ascends Ganon's Castle and confronts Ganondorf, Ganondorf's aura of evil is so strong that Navi is prevented from helping Link during the first stage of the battle. When Ganondorf transforms into his monstrous Ganon form, Navi is determined not to let him hold her back and is able to assist Link in the final showdown. Upon defeating Ganondorf and traveling back in time, Navi departs through a window in the Master Sword Chamber of the Temple of Time. Her reason for leaving is never explained.

Minor Characters

Fado

Fado is a female Kokiri who has a distinct look from the rest of the Kokiri children. Early on in the game she can be found on a higher platform in the center of the forest. You can reach her by climbing up the ramp near Saria’s house and walking across two rope bridges. She applauds you for reaching her at this higher platform and refers to Link as being a ‘real man’. She gives you some instructional tips on how to use the C-up button as a camera.

Fado can be found within the Lost Woods when Link is an adult and she plays a part in the Trading Sequence. Link returns to the Lost Woods in search of Grog, but he is nowhere to be found. Instead, Link will find Fado near a tree stump. Fado states that everyone who gets lost in the Lost Woods will eventually become lost and turn into Stalfos. After seeing the Odd Potion, she states that the mushroom it's made out of is native to the Kokiri Forest and it must be returned. In exchange for the Odd Potion, Fado will give Link the Poachers Saw, an item left behind by Grog.

Know-It-All-Brothers

The Know-It-All-Brothers are three Kokiri boys who serve as guides on how to use some of the basic functions in the game. Their house is located at the west end of Kokiri Forest, near the Forest Training Center. One of the boys will teach you about the various icons at the top of the screen. Another boy will teach you about the map and the three different types of items; equipment items, C-Button items, and Quest items. The third brother will teach you how to use the C-up button to talk to Navi, and to change the camera view.

The three brothers never leave the house throughout most of Link’s adventure. Even when Link returns to Kokiri Forest as an adult, the three brothers are still in their small house. None of the brothers recognize Link when he come back as an adult, and they state that they are awaiting the return of Link.

It isn’t until the end credits that the brothers finally leave the house. They can be seen at Lon Lon Ranch during the End Credits celebration. Strangely enough, the Kokiri children all seem to be perfectly fine in Lon Lon Ranch, even though it is stated that the Kokiri children cannot leave the Kokiri Forest or else they will die.

Kokiri Twins

The Kokiri Twins live in the east end of the Kokiri Forest, inside of the house that is conveniently titled, House of Twins. One of the twins is found inside of the house and if you speak to her, she tells you about the different types of rupees. The second twin is found within the Kokiri Forest Shop. She gives you the hint that most the items for sale in the shop can be found for free within the Forest. She also gives you some instructions on how to use the Deku Shield. Both of the twins will be in their same locations when Link returns as an adult. They don’t recognize Link, and if you speak to them, they are both awaiting the return of Link and Saria.

While these two are the actual residents of the House of Twins, there are a total of five female Kokiri who have the identical visual appearance.

Saria

Saria is a kind-hearted Kokiri girl who many of the other Kokiri look up to. Her fairy companion is pink in color. She is Link’s best friend and their close bond elicits resentment and jealousy from another one of the Kokiri, Mido. Saria is the first to greet and congratulate Link upon his receiving Navi as a fairy partner. When she finds out that Link is leaving the Kokiri Forest, she meets him at the entrance and gives him her Fairy Ocarina as a token to remember her by, sad to see him go. When Link later returns to the forest during the early stages of his quest, he follows the sound of Saria’s music through the Lost Woods and finds her at the Sacred Forest Meadow. She teaches him Saria’s Song, a catchy tune that allows him to speak telepathically with her whenever he plays it. She often gives Link hints to help him on his quest when contacted in this manner.

When Link returns to the Kokiri Forest as an adult, he learns that Saria has gone to the Forest Temple to investigate the cause of the sudden monster infestations in the forest. However, Saria was trapped by the monsters in the Temple and Link must fight his way through the Temple to save her. Upon defeating Phantom Ganon, Saria awakens as the Sage of Forest, telling Link that as a Sage she cannot accompany him, but will continue to help him along his quest, urging him to accept his fate. Mido later reveals that Saria had really liked Link, possibly as a crush though this is unconfirmed. She later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Forest Barrier inside.

Saria is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Mido

Mido is the boss of the Kokiri in Kokiri Forest. Early in the game, He prevents Child Link to see the Great Deku Tree unless he has a Sword and a Shield. When Link acquires the Sword from the Forest Training Center and the Shield from the Kokiri Shop, then he will reluctantly let Link pass through to see the Great Deku Tree. Later on, he blamed Link for the death of the Great Deku Tree without even listening to him. Later when Link returns as an Adult, he is found in the Lost Woods, guarding the entrance towards the Maze near the Forest Temple. Only when Link plays Saria's Song will he let him pass. He also wants to see Link and Saria again, and to apologize to Link for how he had treated him.

Ruto

Princess of the Zoras and caretaker of the Zoras’ patron deity Lord Jabu-Jabu, Princess Ruto is a rather spoiled and sassy young lady with a rebellious attitude towards her father King Zora. Link first learns of Princess Ruto when he finds a message in a bottle that she supposedly wrote asking for help as she had been swallowed by Lord Jabu-Jabu. When Link gets swallowed as well, he finds Ruto safe and sound inside, claiming that she enters Lord Jabu-Jabu all the time. She tells Link that she has lost her treasure, the Zora Sapphire, and demands he accompanies her in search of it. She is captured once she finds the Sapphire, and Link must defeat Barinade to free her. After being saved, she is so impressed with Link that she quite quickly falls in love and declares them engaged by giving him her Sapphire, which is supposed to be her engagement ring.

As an adult, Ruto has become far more mature and responsible. She was trapped in the Ice Cavern when Zora’s Domain freezes over, but after being saved by Sheik she heads for the Water Temple to try and save her people. Link meets up with her again inside the Temple, and she still remembers the engagement. While trying to assist Link in the Temple, Ruto suddenly disappears, only to later awaken as the Sage of Water upon Link’s triumph over the Temple’s boss. In light of her new duties, she cuts off her engagement to Link at that time. She continues to help Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Water Barrier inside.

Ruto is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Link (Goron)

Goron Link is a member of the Goron race and the son of the Goron Patriarch Darunia. Goron Link is first found rolling around the main centre of the Goron City located within Death Mountain. When you place a bomb or bombchu in his path he will stop mistaking you for one of Ganondorf’s men. Very quickly it becomes apparent to him that you are the “legendary Dodongo Buster” from seven years earlier that he was named after.

After this revelation Goron Link informs you of the kidnapping of the Gorons from Goron City and the resurrection of the evil dragon Volvagia by Ganondorf. He tells you of Darunia’s mission to save the Gorons from Volvagia prompting you to follow suit. Goron Link reveals the secret path to Death Mountain Crater and therefore the Fire Temple located within his father’s room at the base of Goron City. He will also give you the Goron Tunic which is used by Link to withstand the extreme heat found within both Death Mountain Crater and the Fire Temple.

After you save the Gorons, defeat Volvagia and awaken Darunia as a Sage return to Goron City, where you will be thanked by Goron Link.

Impa

Impa is the last member of the Sheikah race, a race of warriors sworn to protecting the Royal Family of Hyrule. She was born in Kakariko Village, originally a Sheikah village, before Impa opened the village up to non-Sheikah entry. Prior to the events of Ocarina of Time, Impa was responsible for sealing the evil spirit Bongo Bongo away into the bottom of the Well of Three Features.

Link first meets Impa when leaving the courtyard of Hyrule Castle after meeting with Princess Zelda. Impa is Zelda’s bodyguard and teaches Link Zelda’s Lullaby before directing him to his next destination in Kakariko Village. Later in the game, when Ganondorf attacks Hyrule Castle Town, Impa takes Princess Zelda and the two escape on a white horse riding away from the Castle.

As an adult, Link witnesses Bongo Bongo escape his entrapment in the Well and flee to the Shadow Temple, which Link enters to chase the evil spirit down. Upon defeating Bongo Bongo, Impa is awakened as the Spirit of Shadow. She asks Link to protect Princess Zelda on her behalf. Impa later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Shadow Barrier inside.

Impa is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Nabooru

As the second in command of the Gerudo Thieves, Nabooru wields a great deal of respect among the Gerudo society. She has her headquarters in the Spirit Temple. Her only superior is Ganondorf himself, who she hates for his evil ways, citing his thievery and murder as unacceptable. She plans to infiltrate the interior of the Spirit Temple to find a treasure she can use to mess up Ganondorf’s plans, but she needs the Silver Gauntlets first. Link first meets her when he travels to the Spirit Temple as a child. Nabooru cannot fit through the passage to the half of the Temple that houses the Gauntlets, so she promises Link something great if he retrieves them for her. Link agrees, but when he returns with the Gauntlets, he sees Nabooru being captured by the twin witches Koume and Kotake.

When he returns to the Spirit Temple and uses the Silver Gauntlets as an adult, Link finds and defeats a particularly powerful Iron Knuckle right before the boss room. When the armor falls off, it is revealed that the Iron Knuckle was actually Nabooru, having been brainwashed by Koume and Kotake. The two witches appear immediately and teleport her away again, and in order to save her Link must defeat the twin witches. Upon successfully taking down Twinrova, Nabooru awakens as the Sage of Spirit and comments that if she had known how handsome a man Link would become, she would have kept that promise she made to him as a child. She later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Spirit Barrier inside.

Nabooru is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Malon

Malon is a farm girl who works and lives in Lon Lon Ranch with her father Talon and her uncle Ingo. She has red hair and pointed Hylian ears, dressed in simple farm clothes and brown boots, and as an easter egg from Nintendo, she also wears a Bowser pin. Link first meets Malon when he reaches Hyrule Castle Town for the first time, and she calls him "Fairy Boy" because of Navi. She tells Link she hasn't seen her father in a while and asks Link to look for him, giving Link a weird egg and sends him on his way. The eggs hatches into a Cucco which crows to wake Talon up when Link find him sleeping by the back door to Hyrule Castle. Malon then returns to the ranch with Talon and can be found there throughout the game. She has a special bond with Epona the horse, and she teaches Link Epona's Song, a song her dead mother composed, which allows Link to bond with and summon Epona to his location when he is an adult. When Epona's Song is played to a cow, it will fill a empty bottle with Lon Lon milk. Malon often sings Epona's Song and can be heard singing at Lon Lon Ranch day and night.

When Link returns to Lon Lon Ranch seven years later, Ingo has taken over and Talon is gone. Malon, however, is still working there because she fears the mistreatment of the animals. After Link beats Ingo at the horse race and escapes the ranch with Epona, Ingo becomes much nicer and Talon comes back to run the ranch. Malon thanks Link for all his help, entrusts Epona to his care, and can be challenged to a horse race. If Link beats Malon in a horse race, she gives Link a cow to keep in his home in the Kokiri Forest. This cow can supply Link with Lon Lon milk.

Talon

Talon is the owner of Lon Lon Ranch. He slightly resembles Mario from the Mario series as an easter egg (since Ingo slightly resembles Luigi). He is a rather portly fellow, sporting a bald head and mustache, wearing jean overalls, a red undershirt, brown boots and as another easter egg, a bowser pin like Malon's. He seems to be very lazy and sleeps almost all the day and all the night. His daughter is Malon whom he entrusts the horse Epona to.

Link first meets Talon sleeping outside the back door to Hyrule Castle, having fallen asleep while delivering milk. Link wakes him up with a cucco given to him by Malon, and Talon wakes up with a jolt, rushing back to the ranch. At the ranch, Talon will let Link play the Super Cucco-findin' Game, where Link must find the three special cuccos before the time limit runs out. Success nets Link a bottle of milk, and some joking from Talon about if Link wants to marry Malon.

During the seven years Link is sealed, Talon is kicked off the ranch by his brother Ingo. He can be found sleeping in a house in Kakariko Village, and can be woken by the Pocket Cucco as part of the Trading Sequence. When Link frees the ranch, Talon no longer sleeps all the time and says he will turn over a new leaf, returning to the ranch to work hard.

Ingo

Ingo is Talon's Brother and Malon's uncle. He slightly resembles Luigi from the Mario series as an easter egg (since Talon slightly resembles Mario). He is portrayed as being skinny and having a large black mustache, wearing pink overalls with a green shirt underneath. When Link first meets him at Lon Lon Ranch, he is grumpy and complains about doing all the work for Talon, who he believes is lazy.

During the seven years that have passed, Ganondorf gave Ingo ownership of the Ranch, and Ingo kicked Talon out, forcing Malon to do the hard work. After Link beats him at a horse race, Ingo turns evil, trapping Link and Epona at the ranch. Link and Epona easily escape by jumping the fence, and when they return, Ingo's personality has changed. He seems to be happy and grateful that he works under Talon.

Darunia

Darunia is the Patriarch, or leader, of the Goron Race. He comes across at tough and rude at first, but this is due to the stress caused by Dodongo Cavern being blocked up and his people starving, Ganondorf's punishment for Darunia refusing to hand over the Goron Ruby.

When Link enters Darunia's room using Zelda's Lullaby, Darunia assumed him a messenger from the Royal Family. Irritated that Link was not, Darunia refused to assist Link. However, Link manages to lift Darunia's mood and make him dance by playing Saria's Song for him. Darunia gives Link the Goron Bracelet and asks him to clear the evil from Dodongo's Cavern. Upon completing the task, Link is made a Sworn Brother and is given the Goron Ruby.

As an adult, Link returns to Goron City to find all the inhabitants imprisoned by the evil dragon Volvagia. Link meets up with Darunia in the Fire Temple, and Darunia heads into Volvagia's chamber to confront the monster, determined to slay the beast even though he lacks the legendary Megaton Hammer. Darunia fails, though Link manages to succeed after finding the hammer, and upon defeating Volvagia he awakens Darunia as the Sage of Fire. Darunia remarks once again that he and Link are true Brothers. He later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and he dispells the Fire Barrier inside.

Darunia is last seen in the credits overlooking Hyrule with the other sages on Death Mountain.

Skull Kid

Skull Kid appears in the Lost Woods, but disappears when Link gets too close to him. Skull Kid can be befriended while standing on the stump and playing Saria's Song. After doing this, Link receives a Piece of Heart as a gift. Link can find another two Skull Kids in a different part of the Lost Woods; they start a mini-game that involves copying a series of notes which Link must repeat on his Ocarina. Succeeding results in another Piece of Heart. Their clothes look very forest like, possibly being made out of leaves and bark.

Skull Kid is also part of the Mask Trading Sequence. He says he is sad he has no face and wishes for a mask. Link can sell him the Skull Mask, but the Skull Kid will only pay 10 rupees, making Link pay the other ten back to the Mask Salesman.

When Link is an adult, the Skull Kids attack Link by shooting darts out of his flute, as they are afraid of adults.

It is rumored that Kokiri children who get lost in the Lost Woods turn into Skull Kids.

Mamamu Yan

She is a sassy dog enthusiast who only cares about dogs, but especially cares about her own dog Richard. Bringing Richard back at night will give Link a Piece of Heart. Any subsequent attempts will give Link a blue rupee.

Richard

He is Mamamu Yan's pet dog. Returning him to Mamamu Yan at night will give Link a Piece of Heart.

Happy Mask Salesman

He is a traveling collector and seller of strange, rare, and unusual masks. His erratic behavior, unpredictable temper, strange powers and occasional displays of hysteric outbursts are what makes him standout eerily. He is the owner of the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Castle Town and will lend masks to Link for him to sell. Link can sell each mask to a certain buyer, who will pay a certain amount of rupees for it; if Link fails to return said rupees to the Happy Mask Salesman, the Salesman will throw a fit and throw Link out of the store until Link pays him back. The following masks are part of the trading sequence:

• Keaton mask
• Skull Mask
• Spooky Mask
• Bunny Hood

He gives the following masks to Link, for his usage or his pleasure, after Link sells all the previous masks:

• Mask of Truth
• Goron Mask
• Zora Mask
• Gerudo Mask

Flat

One of the two Composer Brothers of Hyrule. Together, he and his brother, Sharp, composed many songs for the Royal Family. However, one was developed in secret: the Sun's Song. Before they could reveal it, however, they were killed by Ganondorf's minions. He appears in the game as a Poe when Link checks his grave. He bears a resemblance to Mario.

King Zora

King Zora is the ruler of Zora's Domain, and father to Princess Ruto. He is a very large Zora who wears a red vest, making him the only Zora who wears any sort of clothing. His throne is in front of the entrance to Zora Fountain, where Lord Jabu-Jabu and the Ice Cave can be found. When you first meet him, he is seeking his lost daughter, who Link must find in order to obtain the Zora's Sapphire. Later on, he is involved in several sidequests. He rewards Link with a Zora Tunic when he is thawed from the red ice he was frozen in, and he also provides the Eyeball Frog for Biggoron's Eye Drops during the Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence when you bring him the Prescription.

Lord Jabu-Jabu

Lord Jabu-Jabu is a giant whale, and the guardian deity of the Zora. He resides in Zora Fountain and acts as the scene for the third dungeon in the game after he swallows his caretaker, Princess Ruto, as a side-effect of being weakened by a parasitic infection Ganondorf cursed him with. Link must be swallowed as well to find Princess Ruto; he feeds Lord Jabu-Jabu a fish to make the deity open up his mouth. Link must defeat the parasitic Barinade in order to cure Jabu-Jabu and save Princess Ruto.

During Link's seven year absence, Lord Jabu-Jabu disappears for an undisclosed reason, as he is no longer present when Link arrives at the frozen Zora Fountain as an adult. It is unknown what became of Lord Jabu-Jabu.

Great Deku Tree

The Great Deku Tree is the guardian Deity of the Kokiri Forest. He speaks in old English and acts as the setting for the first dungeon of the game. At the beginning of the game, he sends Navi the fairy to bring Link to him. When Link arrives, the Great Deku Tree explains that he has been cursed by Ganondorf for not giving up the Kokiri Emerald. He requests Link enter the interior of the tree to remove the curse. Though Link successfully defeats Gohma and removes the curse, the Great Deku Tree is still doomed to die. Before dying, he tells Link the legend of how the Golden Goddesses created Hyrule and the Triforce, and how Ganondorf plans to use the Spiritual Stones to open the Door of Time to take the Triforce for himself. The Great Deku Tree gives Link one of the Spiritual Stones, the Kokiri Emerald, and sends him on a quest to retrieve the other stones before Ganondorf can. He dies shortly afterwards.

Deku Tree Sprout

The Deku Tree sprout is the baby form of the Great Deku Tree. He appears after Link defeats Phantom Ganon in the Forest Temple and awakens Saria as the Forest Sage. He was unable to grow before this due to Ganondorf's evil reign over Hyrule corrupting the Kokiri Forest, spawning enemies in the sacred Forest. He also reveals that Link is actually a Hylian and not a Kokiri; his mother had fled from the Hyrulean Civil War, but she was gravely injured and left Link under the care of the Great Deku Tree before her death.

Epona

Epona is a flaxen colored horse. She is first seen at Lon Lon Ranch as a young foal and seems to be shy around anyone except for Malon. When Malon teaches Link Epona's song, a song composed by her dead mother, Epona becomes less shy and will approach Link.

After the Seven year period, Link returns to Lon Lon Ranch to find it run by Ingo, who seems to have become evil. Ingo was going to give Epona as a gift to Ganondorf since she is the fastest horse at the ranch. Malon remained at the ranch to protect the animals, but Talon had been exiled. Ingo challenges Link to a horse race, but Link is able to win with Epona, who recognizes him by Epona's Song. After Link wins, Ingo tries to lock Link and Epona in the ranch, though they both escape by jumping the fence that prevents them from exiting. When Link returns to the ranch he finds everything back to normal.

Epona then becomes a quick mode for transportation and Links trusty stead, running up to Link anytime he plays Epona's Song. She proves to be an invaluable ally, particularly for jumping past obstacles along Link's journey such as the fences blocking Lake Hylia and the canyon leading to Gerudo Valley.

Cucco Lady

A kind lady who resides in Impa's old house in Kakariko Village. She tends to the cuccos near the Cucco pen outside, but she suffers an allergy from the said cuccos and therefore fails to keep them properly in their pen. When Link returns all 5 cuccos to the Pen, She will give Link a bottle as a token of her thanks. And if he completes the task again, he'll be given a purple rupee. If he removes a cucco he returned, he'll be scolded. When Link meets her later as an Adult, she will give him a Pocket egg, which will start the trading sequence for the Biggoron Sword.

Carpenters

The five carpenters in Kakariko Village are under the management of the head carpenter Mutoh. They are supposed to be building new structures for Kakariko Village, but instead run around the village in their own route during Link's childhood. When Link is an adult, they are captured and imprisoned by the Gerudo upon trying to join them. The person who saves them is none other than our hero Link, who infiltrates the Gerudo Fortress and defeats the guards at every jail cell to release the carpenters. They then reconstruct the broken bridge that expands over the gorge in the Gerudo Valley as thanks.

Medigoron

A Goron weaponsmith that claims to be as good as his brother Biggoron. He can be found in Goron City where he has a shop and sells mighty swords. He sells Link a Giant's Knife worth 200 rupees. His skills, are at a lower level than his brother, with his giant's knife breaking after 100 uses, or breaks after hitting into a wall.

Biggoron

A very large Goron the size of a mountain and is the best weaponsmith in Hyrule. When Link meets him, his eyes are irritated and asks link if he could get him eye drops. If Link successfully completes the Trading Sequence and gives eye drops to Biggoron, he will forge him Biggoron's Sword, the most powerful blade in the game.

Phantom Guide

A friendly Poe who guides Link through the Haunted Wasteland in Gerudo Desert. He can only be seen with the Lens of Truth and must be met at the center of the haunted wasteland.

"I'll be your guide along the way. But coming back, I won't play. I'll show you the only way to go. So follow me, and don't be slow!"

Great Fairy of Power

The Great Fairy of Power lives on Death Mountain Summit. After Link defeats King Dodongo in Dodongo's Cavern, Darunia instructs Link to climb Death Mountain to see her. When he does this, The Great Fairy of Power rewards the hero with the Magic Spin Attack.

Great Fairy of Wisdom

The Great Fairy of Wisdom resides within Death Mountain Crater. She grants Link an increased Magic Meter if he visits her. One needs the Megaton Hammer to break through the rocks that seal the entrance to the fountain.

Great Fairy of Courage

The Great Fairy of Courage resides in a Great Fairy Fountain located in the wasteland surrounding Ganon's Castle. After Link obtains the Golden Gauntlets, he can gain access to her fountain by removing the giant stone column blocking the entrance. She grants the power of Enhanced Defense, which reduces all damage taken by half.

Great Fairy of Magic

A Great Fairy of Magic can be found in three locations to give three different spells: Din's Fire is given at the Fountain located in the Dead End near the Castle Grounds, Farore's Wind is given at Zora's Fountain, and Nayru's Love is given at Desert Colossus. It is unknown whether the three Great Fairies of Magic are the same Great Fairy teleporting between the three Fountains, or if they are three separate Great Fairies with the same title.

Pierre

Pierre is a scarecrow located in Lake Hylia during Link's childhood. He memorizes the Scarecrow Song that Link plays for the other scarecrow Bonooru. In Link's adulthood, Pierre has gone off to wander the land of Hyrule. If Link finds certain scarecrow locations, designated by Navi turning green over the spot, Link can play the same song he played as a child to make Pierre appear, thus allowing Link to Hookshot to Pierre to reach previously inaccessible areas.

Bonooru

Bonooru is a scarecrow located at Lake Hylia who asks Young Link to play an 8-note song (any 8 notes; this becomes the Scarecrow Song). When Link goes back to visit as an adult, he can play the song again for Bonooru. Bonooru will be so happy that he offers the services of his fellow scarecrow Pierre, who can be summoned at certain areas with the Scarecrow Song to allow Link access to previously inaccessible areas.

Dampé

Dampé is the gravekeeper of the Kakariko Graveyard. During Link's childhood, Dampé can be found patrolling the graveyard at night and will start his own Gravedigging Tour upon request for 10 Rupees, digging up anything from Rupees to a Heart Piece that Link can pick up. The items thathe digs up appear randomly. During the day, he is at his shack sleeping, and if Link tries interacts with him, he'll just tell Link to "buzz off".

Sometime during Link's seven year slumber, Dampé dies and become a ghost. When Link digs up his grave, he can find Dampé's ghost in a maze beneath the grave. Dampé will challenge Link to a race, and if Link wins, Dampé will allow Link to take his treasure, the Hookshot. Playing again and winning in under a minute will yield him a Piece of Heart.

Nabooru's Subordinate

Nabooru's unnamed subordinate watches over the Gerudo Fortress in Nabooru's absense. She is impressed with Link's skills and gives Link the Gerudo's Membership card after he resues all the carpenters within the Gerudo Fortress.

Fabulous Five Froggish Tenors

The Froggish Tenors are a group of five frogs that sing together in a choir, which Link can conduct with his Ocarina. The frogs are first encountered in Zora's River. If Link plays his Ocarina while standing on the tree stump these frogs will pop up. Every time Link plays one of his non-warping Ocarina songs, one of the frogs will grow in size and give Link 50 Rupees as a reward. Link can also play the "Song of Storms" for them in order to obtain a Piece of Heart.

After all five have grown and the Piece of Heart mentioned above has been obtained, Link can conduct the fully-grown frogs. Each frog represents one of the C-buttons or the A-button. When a fly appears above a frog, Link must quickly press the button representing that frog. Once this has been done without fail, completing their song, he will be given another Piece of Heart.

Bean Seller

A man who constantly feasts on his bag of delicious delights. He is the only seller of Magic Beans, which can be planted in soft soil during Link's childhood to grow into magic leaves and are able to carry Link to otherwise inaccessible areas as an adult. He can be found sitting beside the Zora's River during Link's childhood. Every time Link buys a Magic Bean from him, the next Magic bean will cost an additional 10 rupees. He will stop selling magic beans after Link has bought the last one worth under 100 rupees. Along the way, he makes up titles to make the beans seem rare.

Fabulously Rich Family

The "Fabulously Rich Family" is a very wealthy family located in Kakariko Village that has been placed under a curse by the Gold Skulltulas due to their greed. There are six members in the family: 5 sons and their father. Each one of them has been turned into a Skulltula, but they still have some human limbs and part of their faces. Each one of the children will be transformed back to normal with each consecutive 10 Gold Skulltula tokens collected after defeating a Gold Skulltula, and will each give Link a unique reward. The father says that if Link cures their family of the curse, they will make him "very rich." After 50 Gold Skulltula tokens have been collected, the father says to not worry about him; but if Link collects all 100 tokens, the father will be returned to normal, and will give Link a Large Rupee (yellow, worth 200) each time he visits the house.

Granny

An old woman who runs the Potion Shop in Kakariko Village. She is friends with the Lake Scientist in Lakeside Laboratory. She is part of a trading sequence, where she must be given the Odd Mushroom for her to create the odd potion.

Lake Scientist

A scientist who lives in Lakeside Laboratory located above Lake Hylia. He is a chemist who puts his knowledge to use in medicinal practice at his laboratory. He has a pool eight meters deep, and will measure how far down Link can dive. If Link dives all the way down, he will give Link a Piece of Heart. It is interesting to note that if Link sinks all the way down to the bottom with the Iron Boots, he can see that the scientist seems to keep a shark at the bottom of the pool in a cage. The Scientist also plays a role in the Biggoron's Sword Sidequest, as you must quickly bring him the Eyeball Frog from King Zora in order to have him produce the World's Finest Eye Drops. The scientist will be disappointed that he cannot eat the frog for dinner, but makes the drops regardless. He was once the teacher of Granny, the potion maker of Kakariko Village.

Kaepora Gaebora

Kaepora Gaebora is a very knowledgeable, very talkative owl that helps Link during his adventure in Ocarina of Time. He can rotate his head upside-down, causing the markings on his face to resemble another face. According to a gossip stone, he is the reincarnation of an ancient sage, and according to another he is very lighthearted, despite his size.

He first appears directly after leaving Kokiri Forest, telling Link about the map and pointing him towards Hyrule Castle. He appears numerous other times throughout the game in Link's childhood, giving Link advice and knowledge about his quest as well as directions. He is last seen telling Link that he will continue to watch over him after giving his last piece of advice to Link as a child when he obtains the Silver Gauntlets outside the Spirit Temple. (The cases of this are when he is seen flying over Link and Sheik after Sheik teaches Link certain warping songs.)

Koume and Kotake

Koume and Kotake are a pair of Gerudo twin witches with elemental powers, Koume having power over fire and Kotake having power over ice. They act as Ganondorf's surrogate mothers and are very loyal to him.

Link first encounters them as a child at the Desert Colossus when they kidnap Nabooru before Link can hand over the Silver Gauntlets. They then retreat into the interior of the Spirit Temple. Link next sees them after defeating the Iron Knuckle situated right before the boss room in the Spirit Temple as an adult. They had brainwashed Nabooru to serve Ganondorf, making her fight as the Iron Knuckle. When Nabooru tries to escape the two witches teleport her away to be brainwashed again, then they taunt Link before leading him into the boss chamber.

The two witches act as the boss for the Spirit Temple. They fly around the stage trying to hit Link with their elemental magic, and he must defeat them by reflecting one witches magic to hit the other. After a while, the two witches will transform into a single entity, Twinrova, who looks younger, is larger, and wields both elemental powers of fire and ice. Link must defeat her by using her own magic against her.

When defeated, Twinrova splits back into Koume and Kotake. Halos (for some odd reason) appear over both of their heads and the two begin bickering about their age as they float upwards into rays of light. One of them yells to Link, "I'll come back to haunt you!!" while they are floating up.

Prancing Man in Hyrule Market

A man who prances back and forth from one shop to the next in Hyrule Castle Town. He is distuiguished by his blue pants and his "prancing" action while carrying a bag on his back.

"Huff huff! I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!"

Twins in Kakariko Village

The Twins reside in Hyrule Castle Town. Upon Link's first arrival in Hyrule Castle Town, the two are talking about an attempt one of the Twins made on breaking into Hyrule Castle, effectively revealing the way to get ahead to Link. Shortly before Link's arrival, the twin dressed in blue attempted to sneak into the castle to meet Princess Zelda. He sneaked past the Royal Guard, swam through the moat, and tried to crawl through the drain hole on the side of the castle, but he could not enter it due to his size. As a result of this, the castle guards tightened security in the castle. Link later uses this knowledge to his advantage.

When Ganondorf takes over Hyrule, the Twins retreat to Kakariko Village, where they stay in different houses. Here one of the Twins claims to have seen the ghost of the grave keeper Dampé holding a strange object. The other does not believe him and states that the other Twin is still as hilarious as back in Castle Town.

Running Man

The "Running Man" is constantly running around Lon Lon Ranch in Hyrule Field during Link's childhood. He is part of the Mask Trading sequence and will purchase the Bunny Hood from Link. He says that he wants to be as fast as a rabbit. When shown the Bunny Hood, he becomes ecstatic and fills Link's wallet to buy it, no matter how many more rupees Link's wallet can hold. (Meaning he will pay up to 500 rupees for that mask!) When morning breaks, the "running man" takes off so fast that it knocks Link down. He is seen running along Hyrule Field for the rest of the game, so long as Link is a child. As an adult, Link can race him from the Gerudo Valley to the Kokiri Forest, but no matter how fast Link runs the "running man" will always beat Link by one second.

Rauru

Rauru is the Sage of Light who resides inside the Chamber of Sages. He is the first to greet Link after Link awakens from his seven year slumber. It is implied that he may be immortal or otherwise long lived, as it is revealed that he was one of the Ancient Sages who helped construct the Temple of Time.

When Link awakens in the Chamber of Sages, Rauru explains to Link that he had been sealed away for seven years due to having been too young to bear the title Hero of Time when he pulled the Master Sword. He also explains that Ganondorf had entered the Sacred Realm and touched the Triforce, receiving the Triforce of Power as a result and taking over Hyrule. Rauru informs Link that he must awaken the five other Sages in order to defeat Ganondorf, then transports Link back to the Temple of Time to continue on his journey.

Rauru can communicate via telepathy, calling Link back to the Temple of Time after he awakened all five other sages. He later helps Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and he dispells the Light Barrier inside.

It is notable that Rauru was not with the other Sages on Death Mountain overlooking Hyrule at the end of the game. It is implied that he may not be able to leave the Chamber of Sages.

Grog

Grog is the son of Mutoh, the carpenter boss. He can be found sitting in front of the tree in Kakariko Village at night when Link is a child. As an adult, Link finds him in the Lost Woods when he obtains Cojiro, a blue Cucco, from the Cucco lady as part of the trade sequence to get the Biggoron Sword. Grog was the only one that Cojiro would crow around, so when Grog sees that Link has Cojiro, he assumes that Link is a nice guy and asks him to take a mushroom to the potion hag (Granny) to make a potion for him. When Link returns, he finds that Grog is gone and a Kokiri girl is in his place. She reveals that he has turned into a Stalfos, as all humans do when they get lost in the Lost Woods.

The Poe Sisters: Amy, Beth, Joelle and Meg

The Poe Sisters are four poe siblings that haunt the Forest Temple due to the unrelenting restlessness of their souls. They steal the flames from the torches leading to the entrance to the boss of the Forest Temple, causing the entrance to be blocked. The Poe Sisters must be put to rest and the stolen flames returned to progress through the Temple.

Joelle is the Red Poe, Beth is the Blue Poe, Amy is the Green Poe and Meg is the Purple Poe. They can be attacked by shooting arrows into them when they are stationary or not spinning or Invisible. Joelle and Beth both hide in picture frames in stairways, and Link must shoot all the pictures with an arrow to draw them out for battle. Amy is in a picture frame that must be shot as well, but then Link must solve a block puzzle to complete her picture by pushing the blocks together to get her to come out. Meg will only show herself after her three sisters have been defeated. She fights by splitting into four separate forms of herself, in which only one is the real Meg. Link must find out which one is the real Meg and shoot her with an arrow before they all attack. (It can be determined by which Meg is spinning while circling Link.)

Din

Din is one of the three golden goddesses that created Hyrule, specifically the Goddess of Power and thus associated with the Triforce of Power. According to legend, when the three goddesses descended upon the "chaos that was Hyrule", Din "with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land and created the red earth." She was the first to use her magic and is responsible for molding the terrain of Hyrule.

Poe Hunter

A person who runs the Ghost Shop located just next to the broken moat of the ruins of what was once Hyrule Castle Town. He takes delight in the maliciousness of the Big Poes in Hyrule Field, and will give Link rupees for each Big Poe he gives the Poe Hunter. If all 10 Big Poes are retrieved, the Poe Hunter will give Link a Bottle.

Windmill Man

The Windmill Man spends the entire game inside Kakariko Village's windmill playing his grinder organ. The man seems to have quite the temper problem and is involved in what fans dub the "Song of Storms Paradox". When Link visits him as a child, the Windmill Man is cheerfully trying to write a song inspired by the motion of the windmill. When Link visits him as an adult, the Windmill Man is considerably aggravated and complains that a child with an ocarina "messed up the windmill" seven years prior. When Link shows him his Ocarina, the Windmill Man becomes even more agitated, having been reminded of the song, and plays the Song of Storms angrily, effectively teaching Link the song. Should Link visit the Windmill Man again as a child and play the Song of Storms, the windmill will speed up considerably and drain the Well. The increased speed of the windmill disrupts the Windmill Man's music tempo, causing him to become extremely confused, leading to his anger issues in the future.

Honey and Darling

Honey and Darling can be found in Hyrule Castle Town when Link is a child, where they are complimenting each other during the day and telling Link to go away at night. When Link is an adult, he finds them dancing on the hill behind the Windmill; where they treat Link more callously than before. Honey and Darling seem to be so caught up in the admiration of each other that they radiate a rude, dismissing attitude towards others.

Old Man Dressed in Blue

And old and wise man knowledgeable on many topics. During Link's childhood this old man can be found in Hyrule Castle Town, where he will give Link information about the Sheikah race. During Link's adulthood, the old man can be found wandering Kakariko Village during the daytime and inside the generous woman's house at night. During the day, he will talk about the man who could "see the truth", and at night, he will talk about the Fabulously Rich Family.

Man from the Bazaar

Soldier in the Back Alley

There is a lone Hylian soldier who appears only once in the game, right before Link enters the Temple of Time with all three spiritual stones. He is found at the Back Alley in Hyrule Castle Town. He will inform Link of Ganondorf's betrayal and Princess Zelda's escape. He is particularly notable due to the fact that after he tells Link the little information he has, he simply takes his last breath and dies.

Man Who Could See the "Truth"
