Mayor Ruul

Mayor Ruul is a character who plays a minor role in Oracle of Seasons as the mayor of Horon Village. His somewhat secluded residence is located in the northeastern area of the village. The mayor has a noted interest in everything concerning Gasha Seeds. When Link first speaks to Ruul, he is astonished by the fact that the hero does not know about Gasha Seeds and gives him one to "welcome him to the town". If Link comes back later with Bombs, he can blow open a hole in the eastern wall of the residence, revealing a secret room with yet another Gasha Seed. There is a patch of soft soil outside the residence where Link can plant the seeds.

Mayor Ruul is the husband of Mrs. Ruul, who lives in a villa on the Holodrum Plain. The married couple are never seen together.

In a Linked Game of Oracle of Ages, Mayor Plen's mother appears in her son's home. She has a secret for him to tell to Mayor Ruul. Ruul, who claims to be friends with Mayor Plen's mother, will upgrade Link's Ring Box after receiving the secret.

Trivia

 * Mayor Ruul is the only authority figure in the game; the only other human settlement in Holodrum, Sunken City, does not seem to have a leader.
 * Mayor Ruul's name is most likely a pun on the word "rule", in reference to his position.
