Forest of Time (Oracle of Ages)

The Forest of Time is a location in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. It is here that Link begins his quest.

The Forest of Time is where Link will find Nayru, the eponymous Oracle of Ages, as well as her house. Also here he meets Impa, who was sent by Princess Zelda in search of Nayru; Impa presents Link with his Wooden Sword. When Link first finds Nayru singing to some forest animals, he meets her old friend Ralph, and together they witness the possession of Nayru by the evil sorceress Veran.

Nayru's home is a tree in the northeastern corner of the Forest of Time; there is a hidden room nearby which will lead Link to the Harp of Ages, an instrument that allows him to travel in time. Found elsewhere in the forest is an Island Chart that was drawn up by Tingle, which will help Link navigate the seas.
