The Essences of Time are Items in Oracle of Ages.[1]

Location and Uses[]

The Essences of Time are the eight relics that Link must obtain to help the Maku Tree and save Nayru. Each one is hidden in one of the puzzle- and enemy-filled Dungeons spread across Labrynna. When Link obtains all eight Essences, the Maku Tree gives him a special Seed called the Huge Maku Seed needed to enter Black Tower and defeat the evil Veran.
