Ocarina of Time Characters

Major Characters

Navi

Navi is Link's fairy companion throughout the game, giving him hints and advice on what to do or where to go. She has annoyed many players with her constant cries of "Hey, listen!", "Look!", and "Watch out!". She was summoned by the Great Deku Tree in the beginning of the game to meet Link and bring the young boy to him. After the events that transpire inside the Great Deku Tree, Navi leaves Kokiri Forest with Link to help on his adventure.

Minor Characters

Ruto

Princess of the Zoras and caretaker of the Zoras’ patron deity Lord Jabu-Jabu, Princess Ruto is a rather spoilt and sassy young lady with a rebellious attitude towards her father King Zora. Link first meets her inside of Lord Jabu-Jabu, who has swallowed them both, and Princess Ruto accompanies Link in search of her lost treasure, the Zora Sapphire. She has quite the infatuation with the young hero, even going so far as to declare herself and Link engaged.

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. She disappears while trying to assist Link in the Temple, only to 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 this time.
