Blossom is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] She lives with her husband, Bipin, and her son, Pip in Lynna City and Horon Village, respectively.
Biography[]
Link first encounters Blossom cradling her newborn baby boy, whom she names with Link's help.[2] As the game progresses, Blossom will ask for Link's assistance to raise her child: she first asks Link for Rupees to take her son to the doctor when he is ill,[3] then asks for advice on how to put him to sleep,[4] and finally asks Link questions about his own childhood.[5][6] At the end of Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons, Blossom and her family move to the next game, where her child's growth will continue in a Linked Game.[7] The choices Link makes while helping with the upbringing of the child (if he decides to help at all) affect the child's growth and eventually determine what he becomes when he reaches adulthood. Blossom exudes pride in her son if he becomes a musician,[8] a warrior,[9][10] or an arborist like his father,[11] but is dismayed if he becomes a slacker.[12]
Trivia[]
- Blossom and her family are some of the few characters in Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages who travel between Holodrum and Labrynna.
- Blossom is similar in appearance to the mother of the Quadruplet Family in Link's Awakening.
