Maku Tree

The Maku Tree is a supporting character in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. There are two Maku Trees; one of opposite gender for each game.
==Biography==
===Oracle of Ages===
After Veran possesses Nayru to use her powers and alter history, Link makes his way through Maku Road to meet the female Maku Tree for guidance. However, as she about to help Link, the Maku Tree begins to disappear from existence and mentions that something must be happening to her in the past before she vanishes completely. Link manages to travel back 100 years into the past and finds the Maku Tree Sprout is being attacked by Veran's minions. Link slays the attackers, which causes the sprout to become infatuated with him for saving her and says she will wait for his return when she grows up.
Returning to the present, Link finds the Maku Tree exists once again and is still infatuated with him as she tells Link about Veran's plan to build the Black Tower and cover the world in darkness. Because of Veran's meddling with the time-stream, the Maku Tree does not remember what she needs to do to stop the villainess, but tells Link if he can find all the Essences of Time, she will recall what is required to foil Veran's plans.
Link eventually gathers all the Essences hidden across the land, making the Maku Tree realize she is the Guardian of the Oracle of Ages and produces the magical Maku Seed to dispel Veran's magic at the higher levels of the Black Tower.
===Oracle of Seasons===
When Din is kidnapped by General Onox and the seasons are thrown into disarray, Link goes to see the male Maku Tree for guidance. He arrives to find the Maku Tree fast asleep and wakes him up to tell him about what has transpired while he slept, something which shocks the Maku Tree as he was supposed to be the Guardian of the Orcale of Seasons. Although Maku Tree wants to help Link, the disorder of the seasons has weakened him and needs the Essences of Nature to restore his strength.
The Maku Tree guides Link to locate each of the Essences until all of them are found and the tree is strong enough to produce a magical Maku Seed that will dissipate the Shadow Barrier around Onox's Castle.
===Linked Game===
Twinrova manages to capture Princess Zelda to use in their rites to revive Ganon. However, the Maku Tree opens a portal to their lair which allows Link to rescue her and teleports them away to safety when the lair begins to collapse after Twinrova's defeat.

==Trivia==
*In Oracle of Ages, the Maku Tree claims to be 300 years old in the present. However, she is only a sprout 100 years in the past.
*In Oracle of Seasons, the Maku Tree grows larger as the game progresses. If Link ascends the tree after getting most, but not all, the essences, he can see the Maku Seed growing.
