	Games - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time characters

This article is about fictional characters from the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Link

In Ocarina of Time, Link
, also known as the Hero of Time, is a Hylian who is raised as a Kokiri in the Kokiri Forest. He has the ability to travel through time, and therefore to and from his adult and child bodies, using the power of the Master Sword. He still wears the classic default green (or "Kokiri") tunic and cap that appeared in earlier games, and has a familiar variety of weapons that are again used in later adventures. This is assumed to be the same Link who appears in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

For information on Link's relations with Navi, see "Navi" below

Princess Zelda

Princess Zelda is the Hylian princess of Hyrule. She has magical powers and she saw the destruction of Hyrule in a dream. She fled her castle with her Guardian, Impa, to escape Ganondorf and gives Link the Ocarina of Time. She disguises herself as Sheik and goes into hiding, appearing to Link frequently and helping him through his quest. She finally reveals her true identity later in the game, causing Ganondorf to kidnap her. Link fights Ganon to free her.

Darunia

King Darunia is the leader of the Goron race and resides in Goron City. When Link first meets Darunia, he is upset because the cavern containing the Goron's food source is overrun by Dodongos and has been sealed off by Ganondorf as punishment for refusing to turn over the Goron Ruby (also known as the Spiritual Stone of Fire). Once he is cheered up by Link's rousing rendition of 'Saria's Song', a song he continues to enjoy for the rest of the game, his demeanour softens. He gives Link the Goron's Bracelet, allowing him to use bombs, and asks him to clear the Dodongos from Dodongo's Cavern. If Link completes this task, Darunia rewards him with the Spiritual Stone of Fire (Goron Ruby) and makes him his "Sworn Brother". After Ganondorf conquers Hyrule he threatens to feed the Goron race to the dragon Volvagia, who was killed long ago by a Goron hero, but has been resurrected by Ganondorf. When Link completes the Fire Temple as an adult, Darunia is awakened as the Fire Sage, and gives Link the Fire Medallion. Darunia also named his son after Link. Darunia, like many of the characters in Ocarina of Time, takes his name from a town in Zelda II: Adventure of Link; as this game precedes that one in the Zelda timeline, it may be more accurate to say, in Zelda canon, that the town takes its name from him.

Navi

Navi (possible root: navigator/navigation) is a fairy companion who is instructed to assist Link in his quest by the Great Deku Tree in the Kokiri Forest. All Kokiri have companion fairies, but because Link is actually a Hylian, he never received one until Navi joined him near the beginning of the events in Ocarina of Time. From a gameplay perspective, Navi functions primarily as a software agent that points out cues in the environment and helps the player learn the controls and advance in the game, but in some areas of the game, she turns green and hovers near a suspicious spot, such as a puddle in a dungeon, that turns out to be nothing at all, except for possibly lost beta (usually, however, these spots produce a healing fairy when Link plays Zelda's Lullaby or the Song of Storms near them).

After Link is sent back to his own time, Navi flies away. Two similar fairies, Tat'l and Tael (named after the word tattletale), are found in Majora's Mask, and Tat'l serves a similar purpose in this game.

Navi was Link's first fairy. If the idea is followed through between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, a Kokiri is granted only one fairy. Link is of Hylian descent and obviously unique and able to travel throughout the land without restriction like the Kokiri children. This leaves him the opportunity to discover other fairies in dungeons and fountains throughout the lands. Because Navi is already his companion, the fairies simply heal Link and be on their way, or he can capture them in milk bottles for later use. When Navi disappears after Ocarina of Time, Link goes out to search for her. After facing some unusual obstacles, Tat'l reluctantly becomes Link's new partner.

Navi's disappearance could be explained by the fact that her duty to the Deku Tree had expired after Link had left the forest and Ganon had been defeated. Seeing as Link was not of Kokiri descent, she did not have a permanent obligation to him. This also explains Link's fairy problem prior to Ocarina of Time.
