Seres is a character in A Link Between Worlds. She is the daughter of the priest of the Sanctuary.[1] Seres is calm and sweet, much beloved to her father and Dampe, and even the Captain, who shares a mutual attraction with her.
Background
Seres and her father, the Priest, are the caretakers of the Sanctuary during the era in which the events of A Link Between Worlds occur. She is much beloved by many, namely her father, Dampe the graveyard keeper, and even the Captain of the Guard of Hyrule Castle. She first appears when Link comes to the Sanctuary to deliver the Captain's sword after he forgot to take it with him from the Blacksmith's house. After greeting Link and learning he is looking for the Captain, Seres enters the Sanctuary to call him, only for the doors to the Sanctuary to close suddenly and lock, preventing any from entering. After hearing Seres scream from inside and at Dampe's urging, Link makes his way to the graveyard to use the secret passageway connecting it to the Sanctuary. Once inside, Link witnesses Yuga's abduction and transformation of Seres into a painting, having already turned the Captain into a drawing on the wall. Though he complains that the Captain's portrait is unattractive, he praises Seres as "perfection".[2][3] Although Link attempts to stop Yuga, the sorcerer outsmarts the hero, turning temporarily into a drawing to cause Link to crash into the wall. With Link knocked out, Yuga swiftly kicks him aside and leaves with Seres despite her father's protests.
After capturing all of the Seven Sages and turning them all into paintings, Yuga spirits them away to Lorule, where he uses Seres's power alongside the other Sages to release the seal placed on Ganon's spirit. Following his merge with Ganon and subsequent acquisition of the Triforce of Power, the resulting creature sends the painting of Seres to one of the far corners of Lorule known as the Skull Woods, where she is guarded by the Knucklemaster. Link eventually makes his way to the Skull Woods and kills the creature, discovering the painting of Seres in a small, closed-off grove deep within the woods. The hero then claims the painting, reviving Seres and awakening her to her status as a Sage. She then remains in the Chamber of Sages, awaiting the time when all seven of the Sages would be rescued by Link, at which time she combines her power with the rest to cause the Triforce of Courage to materialize above them. Seres, along with each of the other Sages, encourages Link and prays for his safety and success in defeating Yuga Ganon.
After Hyrule's Triforce is restored to the Hyrulean Sacred Realm and Lorule is restored following the revival of its Triforce, Seres returns home to her father and is seen celebrating with both he and the Captain at the Sanctuary. She is last seen congregating with the other Sages in the Lost Woods to observe Link's restoration of the Master Sword to its pedestal.
Trivia
- Seres's character design is based on the Maidens from A Link to the Past.
Theories
Ancestry
Given the standing Seres and her father enjoy with the Royal Family of Hyrule, having been charged with the care of the holy site known as the Sanctuary, it is possible that she and her father are related to the Royal Family in some way. This would mean that Seres would represent the position Princess Zelda represented among the Sages during the Era of the Hero of Time, as Zelda herself is also kidnapped alongside the Seven Sages by Yuga. Thus, this could mean that Seres inherited the original position among the Sages held by the Princess Zelda of Template:OOT, before the Princess Zelda of A Link Between Worlds was considered separate from the Sages of her day while likely remaining the Leader of the Sages like her predecessor. As Princess Zelda was not affixed to any official element during the Era of the Hero of Time, this could mean that Seres too is not affixed to any particular element as a Sage. However, some speculate that Zelda was the Sage of Time during the events of Ocarina of Time, and if this was true, it could mean that Seres would be considered the Sage of Time in her era. Considering her blue hair, blue attire, and slightly similar appearance to Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, this could be considered a possibility.
