When Nayru's body is taken over by [[Veran]], she uses Nayru's power to go back in the past and change the history; by her willpower, she informs [[Queen Ambi]] that she must build a black tower which will benefit the land and create a national spire that other lands will respect. In truth, Queen Ambi wanted to build it so she could see her love coming back from sea.

Biography

Oracle of Seasons

The Oracle of Seasons is fated with keeping the world's climatic order in balance. When Din is kidnapped and forced into a crystal prison by General Onox, the seasons go awry and change at the slightest notice.

Oracle of Ages

The Oracle of Ages has the ability to travel through time. When Veran takes of the body of Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, she goes back in time to change the course of history.

The Oracle of Secrets plays a very minor role in the Oracle games. She resides in the Hall of Secrets, only talking about secrets from the Linked Game and giving special items if given certain passwords.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, the Oracles appear as traveling vagabonds in search for permanent residence in Hyrule Castle Town. Link can fuse Kinstones with all three, but only the first two fusions provide the travelers with permanent homes in the town. If the Kinstone Fusion grants Din, Farore, or Nayru a house, Link will be presented with Din's Charm, Farore's Charm, or Nayru's Charm, respectively.
