Subrosian Smelter

The Subrosian Smelter is only a minor character in Oracle of Seasons, but he is needed to complete the game, as he blows up the obstruction which blocks the Tower of Autumn. If Link can get him Red Ore and Blue Ore, then he can make Hard Ore, which can be used to forge either the Iron Shield or the Mirror Shield, depending on the circumstances.

The Subrosian Smelter, like the rest of his people, is a big fan of dance, shown best as he dances while the Hard Ore is being created. He is one of the few Subrosians who are happy with the Temple of Seasons having fallen into Subrosia, saying it has resulted in more ore being harvested than normal since its arrival.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, the Subrosian Smelter's clothing bears similarity to the clothes of Queen Ambi from Oracle of Ages, although this is likely by coincidence.
