Characters

Link is the hero you control. He begins the quest in Holodrum and collects the Rod of Seasons, which lets him change the season. For the early route, see the getting started chapter.

Din is the Oracle of Seasons, the one who can command the four seasons. You first meet her as a dancer, and you see General Onox seize her and drop the Temple of Seasons into the ground. Freeing her is your main goal. See the getting started chapter for how the temple falls.

Onox is the villain of the game. He appears in a dark whirlwind, takes Din and sinks the Temple of Seasons, which throws the seasons into disorder. His castle holds the final fight: he first attacks in armour with a ball and chain, then turns into a dark dragon. He can use Din as a shield, and the Rod of Seasons knocks her away from him. See the Onox’s Castle chapter.

Impa is Princess Zelda’s nursemaid. She asks you for help early on, and she tells you about Zelda, who is held in the field north of her house. Speak with her again as the story moves on. See the Farore and Princess Zelda chapter.

The Maku Tree is the guardian spirit of Holodrum and lives in Horon Village. It gives you the Gnarled Key for the first dungeon, and it speaks to you after each Essence you bring back. Once you have all eight Essences, it gives you the Huge Maku Seed. See the Gnarled Root Dungeon chapter.

Ricky is a punchy kangaroo. You win his gloves from Blaino in North Horon, and you bring them back to Ricky in his fenced clearing on the Holodrum Plain. He invites you to hop into his pouch and ride to Spool Swamp, where he jumps the holes and punches with his gloves. See the Spool Swamp chapter.

Moosh is a blue winged bear. He sniffs out the Spring Banana tree near the stump above the waterfall caves on Goron Mountain, and he floats across the pits that guard the Dragon Key. See the Great Moblin’s Keep and Goron Mountain chapter and the Tower of Spring and Mt. Cucco chapter.

Dimitri is a red Dodongo who swims. You pay the pig Moblins 80 Rupees to free him from a frozen lake in the winter area reached through Spool Swamp, and he gives you Dimitri’s Flute. Play his flute to ride him across deep water, through currents and up waterfalls. See the Sunken City and Zora’s Flippers chapter.

The Master Diver is an expert swimmer who lives in the Sunken City. He gives you Zora’s Flippers after you bring him the Master’s Plaque, which lets you swim and dive in deep water. See the Sunken City and Zora’s Flippers chapter.

Mayor Ruul lives in a house in Horon Village, and he gives you a Gasha Seed early on. Visit him on your first walk through the village. See the getting started chapter.

Vasu runs the Jewelers in Horon Village and is the ring expert of Holodrum. He gives you your first Ring Box and appraises every unnamed ring for 20 Rupees, so visit him each time you find a new ring. See the Hall of Secrets and the Noble Sword chapter.

Syrup is a witch who runs a potion shop in the snow area, past the lake and the winter ledges. Trade her the Mushroom for a Wooden Bird as part of the trading sequence. See the Huge Maku Seed and the Hero’s Cave chapter.

Maple is Syrup’s apprentice, a witch who flies on a broom. She appears at random after you have beaten enough enemies (about 30, or 15 with Maple’s Ring). When she bumps into you, her items scatter across the screen, so collect the Rupees, Seeds and Hearts before she takes them back. See the Maple encounters guide.

Holly is a young girl in a house in the Woods of Winter area, and she gives you the Shovel. See the Woods of Winter and the Shovel chapter.

Bipin and Blossom are a young couple in Horon Village with a baby son. You name the child and make choices at his visits that shape how he grows up. See the Bipin and Blossom page.

The Subrosians are the people of the volcanic land beneath Holodrum. Their market trades in Ore Chunks, their dance hall offers prizes for dancing, and their smithy upgrades your shield. See the Tower of Winter and the Rod of Seasons chapter.

Rosa is a Subrosian who asks you for a ribbon during the Tower of Summer story. The Star-Shaped Ore and the Subrosian Market steps that make it are covered in the chapter. See the Tower of Summer and Rosa’s Ribbon chapter.

The Gorons live on Goron Mountain, which stays locked in winter and cannot be changed by the Rod of Seasons. Their paths climb through the snow into the lava caves. See the Great Moblin’s Keep and Goron Mountain chapter.

Biggoron is a giant Goron who sneezes on Goron Mountain. You get your first look at him there, and his sword only comes into play later. See the Great Moblin’s Keep and Goron Mountain chapter.

The Great Moblin is the boss of the Moblins. He shouts his challenge from his sandy fort west of the lake, where his cannons lob bombs at the shore. You ride Dimitri there to reach him, and a Moblin in the top room of his ruined keep tells you a secret about the Tokay. See the Great Moblin’s Keep and Goron Mountain chapter.

Blaino is a former boxing champion who now bullies people in North Horon. He runs a gym where he bets 10 Rupees on a fist fight. Beat him in the ring to win Ricky’s gloves. See the Spool Swamp chapter.

Twinrova is the pair of Gerudo witches, Koume and Kotake. In the linked game they make their stand in the Room of Rites, where they shift between a fire form and an ice form. See the Linked game finale chapter.

Ganon is the last villain of the linked game, and he appears in the Room of Rites after you defeat Twinrova. Dodge his attacks and strike with a spin attack before he warps away. See the Linked game finale chapter.
