You will encounter many, many characters as you traverse the land of
Holodrum. Below is a list of many of the major characters you
will meet, as well as some less important ones as well. Link  As a hero in Hyrule, the Triforce sends Link to undergo a quest in the land of Holodrum, a neighboring kingdom of Hyrule. His quest starts when the beautiful dancer Din is kidnapped by the evil General of Darkness, Onox. Link must gather the eight Essences of Nature hidden in dark, gloomy dungeons throughout the land, before he can face the evil General and free the Oracle of Seasons. Din  When Link first arrives in Holodrum, Din takes care of him after he passes out. She is a very talented dancer, performing together with a group of actors. The actors are jealous of Link, as Din has taken a liking of him. Not much later it is uncovered that Din is far more than a mere dancer; she is in fact the Oracle of Seasons, who has control of the seasons in Holodrum. However, she is kidnapped by the evil General Onox, and the seasons have been thrown into absolute chaos. It is up to Link to save her. Onox  The evil General of Darkness is behind the chaos that has been cast upon Holodrum. Driven by his lust for power, this demonic monster is willing to do anything to expand his dark powers, even if it means destroying the world. Link is the only one who can stop him, but Onox has cast a barrier of shadow around his castle, which makes the task of reaching him very difficult. Princess Zelda  With the help of her magical powers, Zelda is able to see that trouble is brewing in the land of Holodrum. To confront this, she sends Impa to bring the Oracle of Seasons back to the safety of Hyrule. Even though Impa fails in her task, Zelda still stands as a beacon of hope for all those in the land of Holodrum. Impa  Impa is the trusted nursemaid of Princess Zelda, and she has been sent to bring the Oracle of Seasons away from the dangers that threaten her in Holodrum, and take her back to Hyrule. After Din is captured by Onox, she puts all her trust into Link, as he bears the mark of a Hylian hero. The Maku Tree  This tree is the wise guardian of Holodrum, and is also responsible for the safety of the Oracle of Seasons, Din. As General Onox has cast his dark spells upon the Maku Tree, his powers have withered and he can no longer protect Din. You can be sure that this tree will be able to give Link advice on how to complete his quest in Holodrum, but first gain access to the tree - and it is rumoured that only those who show true courage may do so. Ricky  Ricky is something as rare as a talking, boxing kangaroo. You will find him in the plains of Holodrum, and if you befriend him you will be able to hop in his pouch and ride around with him. Not only can he jump over holes and onto high ledges, but he has also got an extremely strong punch, which can be chared up to release a deadly Hurricane Punch. Moosh  If you thought a boxing kangaroo was wierd, there is no telling what you will think about Moosh, a blue polar bear with wings. Once you make friends with Moosh, you can hop on his back and fly for a short period of time. Moosh is also hardly harmless: his attack involves smashing into the ground and crushing any enemies below him! Dimitri  The third and last animal Link can choose to befriend is Dimitri the Dodongo. While sitting on Dimitri's back, Link will be able to cross large bodies of water and even swim up waterfalls. Of course, this young Dodongo is fit for battle, as he can eat his enemies with one swift chomp of his jaws. In addition, Link can also pick up and carry Dimitri once he has acquired the Power Bracelet. Farore  As the Oracle of Secrets, Farore keeps track of Link's progress on his quest in her Book of Secrets. She is also the connection between the two worlds of Holodrum and Labrynna, and the two Oracles of those lands, the Oracle of Seasons, Din, and the Oracle of Ages, Nayru. Sokra  Said to be the prophet of Horon Village, but he does not seem to come up with many prophecies. He does however know suspiciously much about both the Temple of Four Seasons and the hidden world of Subrosia. Maple  Being an apprentice witch of her grandmother, Syrup, Maple quite often finds herself sneaking out to ride her broomstick. Her skills on the broomstick are questionable, however, as she often bumps into Link, knocking away his Hearts and Rupees. Luckily, Maple will also drop some of her own stuff, such as Potions and perhaps even Magic Rings. If you manage to grab her stuff before she does, then they will be yours to keep. Syrup the Witch  A legendary witch who has taken her grandchild, Maple, as an apprentice. However, not only does she brew potions: she also sells them, for quite a high price. The inventory of her shop varies from magic healing potions to Gasha Seeds, all which can be useful to Link on his quest...if he can afford them, that is. Bipin & Blossom  A happily married couple who has just had their first son. As they have yet to find a suitable name for their child, they will give Link the privilage of naming him for them! The couple has two homes, one in Holodrum and another one in Labrynna, so you are sure to stumble upon them wherever you go. If you help them raise their son along the way, Bipin, who just so happens to be a famed planter of Gasha Seeds, will give you much advice on how to successfully garden Gasha Seeds. Vasu the Jeweller  When it comes to jewellery this guy has the monopoly, in two different lands! His specialities are Magic Rings; for a fitting fee he will appraise them and reveal their powers to you, and at the same time keep track of all the rings you have collected. His two pet snakes are also mystical creatures, and they may be capable of more than simply the ability to speak the language of men. The Great Moblin  Although there is a striking resemblance to the legendary King of Evil, this is not Ganon, but just a mere moblin. Well, not quite a mere moblin: he is The Great Moblin, and he lives in his forts in both Holodrum and Labrynnia, tormenting anybody who comes nearby. However, as they say, those who cause trouble for others will get trouble in return... Subrosians  This is a very strange race. They always wear thick, hooded cloaks, so it is impossible to know what they truly look like. They live in a hidden world which can only be entered through special places in Holodrum. Within this world Link will encounter many surprises, such as dancing rituals, volcanoes, and much more. Gorons  These stony people live in the aptly-named Goron Mountain. However, since the seasons have been thrown into chaos by Din's imprisonment, their home has been covered in snow and ice, forcing them to spend their days living in caves. It is up to Link to restore their home to its natural state. Skull Pirates  These ghostly pirates sail on the seas of both Labrynna and Holodrum. Once you meet them you will notice that they are very helpful, and willing to help you progress on your quest. Grandfather & Mittens  In the northern part of Horon Village you will find Grandfather, who is very frustrated and upset. His cat, Mittens, won't come down from a tree, and somehow Link has to find a way to get the cat down. Mayor Ruul  Mayor of Horon Village, and completely obsessed with Gasha Seeds! This good-hearted man will most likely strike you as rather obsessed, but he is quite a nice person. Mrs. Ruul  This is the arrogant and pompus wife of Mayor Ruul. Perhaps her status as the First Lady of the village has gone to her head? She often stays at her private cottage in the plains of Holodrum, relaxing by her swimming pool. Ingo  This time around, Ingo is living in Sunken City, where he spends most of his time collecting rare vases. When you encounter him, be careful not to touch his collection, much less break a vase. There's no telling what he might do if you cause damage. Malon & Talon  Another pleasant return from past games, Malon and Talon are now in charge of raising the Cuccos of Holodrum. It is also said that the eggs the Cuccos lay are good for cosmetics, and because of this, they are quite popular among young ladies. Shop Keeper  As the owner of the shop in Horon Village, he offers a variety of things to sell to Link, including Hearts, Bombs, Shields and more. If you do not have the money it takes, you can always try to steal from him, but that may not be a very smart idea. Guru Guru  Guru Guru is the manager of the windmill in Holodrum. Everytime you meet him, he will talk about how much he wishes he could oil his windmill so it would go around more quickly. Could Link help out this odd fellow? Tick Tock  This old man is the clock maker of Holodrum, he is quite good at his job. For quite a while he has been searching for a special Wooden Bird to use in one of his clocks, but nobody has been able to find one...at least, not yet. |
