This may also be because her charm is a combination of Din's and Nayru's, which turn his tunic red and blue respectively. All four colors resemble the {{FS}} Links' Tunics. Her Charm increases both attack and defense, but the offensive boost from Din's Charm is stronger, and the defensive boost from Nayru's charm is more potent.

Trivia

  • There was originally planned to be a third game to accompany Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, entitled Mystical Seed of Courage, which would have presumably featured Farore as the main focus equally as Din and Nayru were in Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. However, Capcom ultimately decided that it would be too complex to link three different games, so they abandoned the third game and integrated Farore into the two remaining games as the "Oracle of Secrets".
  • Her Figurine description in The Minish Cap could be a reference to how what was expected to be her game, Mystical Seed of Courage, was removed from what would have been a trilogy. The fact that Link can only find houses for two of the Oracles may be a reference to this as well.
  • The concept art for Farore shown in Hyrule Historia seems to indicate that she was originally planned to be a singer, a role assumed by Nayru in Oracle of Ages.
