Kaepora Gaebora is a wise and mysterious owl from the Zelda games. He often appears to aid young travelers by dispensing sage advice.

Background

Kaepora Gaebora first appears in Ocarina of Time, where he is said to be a reincarnated sage. He appears to Link throughout the first part of his adventure several times, and sometimes even gives Link a ride on his talons. Kaepora Gaebora has his last meeting with Link outside the Spirit Temple. After the seven years of Link's slumber, Kaepora Gaebora does not meet Link directly again, but he is often spotted flying nearby whenever Link learns a new song.

In Majora's Mask Kaepora Gaebora (or rather the Terminan Kaepora Gaebora) appears to Link only twice. First in the southern swamp, he taught Link the Song of Soaring, which allowed Link to warp between owl statues. And at the northern mountain, he guided Link to the Lens of Truth. Link isn't the only person he speaks to, as he had been in contact with Darmani's ghost beforehand and assured the ghost that someone who could help him was coming.

Kaepora Gaebora also appears in Four Swords Adventures, where he guided the four Links during their battles with the forces of Vaati and Ganon.

Trivia

• He is based on a nameless owl from Link's Awakening. The owl of that game appears several times to advise Link just like Kaepora, but this owl is later revealed to actually be the personification of the Wind Fish.
