This article is about the Oracle of Secrets. For the goddess of the same name, see Golden Goddesses.

Farore is the Oracle of Secrets who appears in both of the Oracle games with a minor role primarily connected to the game-linking process. Another version of her also appeared in The Minish Cap.

Background

Oracle Games

In both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, Farore had a shop set up within the country's respective Maku Tree. This area was called the Hall of Secrets. Her primary purpose was only fulfilled in a linked game; whenever Link brought her a secret, she would give shape to it. This essentially allowed Link to transfer over something he had unlocked in the other game by using a password. Farore had the secrets compiled in a book called Farore's Memory. She completed the trinity of oracles (with Din and Nayru), but did nothing of storyline significance.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, Farore appeared with Din and Nayru as lodgers looking for a home in Hyrule Castle Town. Over the course of the game, Link could show them to a house to move into, but only two houses were available in the game, so one of the girls was left without a home at the game's end. If Link set Farore up with a home, she would give him a charm whenever he had an empty bottle to hold it. Her charm temporarily turned Link's tunic purple, and it boosted his attack and defense at the same time.

Her figurine said nothing about her background (unlike her companions), except that she was a helpful person who felt bothered when people took advantage of her.

Trivia

• Farore was initially intended to be featured in a third Oracle game which was tentatively titled Mystical Seed of Courage in Japan. The game was scrapped, partly due to the complications of linking three games together, which is why Farore ended up with only a minimal role in the Oracle games. The housing situation in The Minish Cap (only two of the three girls can get houses) seems to be an injoke referring to this.
• In concept art shown in the Hyrule Historia, it is implied that Farore was originally intended to be a singer in Mystical Seed of Courage. This would ultimately end up becoming Nayru's occupation.
