Maple

Maple (from the Oracle duo) is an apprentice witch of her grandmother, Syrup, making up the first part of an in-game joke (Maple Syrup). She likes to sneak out and fly her broomstick when she has time. Her skills on it are somewhat questionable, as she often flies down and crashes into Link, causing many of their items to scatter (it can be argued that Link walks in front of her, obstructing her path). In this way, Link can get Potions, Magic Rings, Gasha Seeds, and even a Piece of Heart from her. Link only drops common items like Hearts, Bombs, Mystical Seeds, and Rupees, (so don't worry about losing Pieces of Heart!).

Also, if she gets too many extra Rupees from you over time, she will upgrade her broomstick into a vacuum. (And if you're playing a Main-linked game, she will automatically be riding a flying saucer!)

A witch bearing a strong resemblance to Maple serves as the potion shop's keeper in the GBA remake of A Link to the Past.

In the Manga
Maple plays a fairly large role in the Oracle of Seasons manga, alongside Ricky and Link, journeying with them after meeting in the Temple of Seasons. Maple constantly says she only tags along because she wants the Rod of Seasons, but after obtaining it from Link through a stroke of good luck on her part and leaving them, Maple eventually returns to Link's aid just in time to help him defeat Onox. She is depicted in the manga as a kind witch, despite her selfishness who does not have constant effective control over most of her spells. She is essential in the defeat of Dark Dragon.
