Maple is an apprentice witch appearing in the Oracles games.

Background

Maple was a young witch who learned under the "Great Witch" Syrup. She was somewhat immature and spent most of her time cruising around Holodrum or Labrynna (depending on the game) on her magic broomstick. Bumping into Link would cause them both to scatter their items, and Maple would angrily declare that whoever picked up the dropped items would keep them. There was a chance of her dropping a Piece of Heart in each game. After enough encounters, Maple would board a flying vacuum cleaner and later a small UFO to collect dropped items more efficiently.

She also played a role in the trading sidequest of each games. In Oracle of Seasons she needed the Lon Lon Egg for Syrup and gave Link a Ghastly Doll in exchange. In Oracle of Ages, she accepted the Touching Book and gave her a Magic Oar that she had made and that Syurp had rejected.

Other Appearances

• She appeared in the manga adaptation of Oracle of Seasons with a larger role as one of Link's companions. However, she joined with Link only to find the Rod of Seasons and left with it afterwards. She later returned and aided Link during the final battle with Onox.

Trivia

• In the GBA remake of A Link to the Past (which was made by the same developer), the appearance of Syrup's nameless assistant, who runs the potion shop, is altered to resemble Maple.
• Her name is of course taken from "maple syrup" in reference to her mentor Syrup.
• She appears in a random area every time Link kills 30 monsters (or 15 monsters when using Maple's Ring).
