'''Symmetry Village''', also known as '''Symmetry City''' in the present, is a village in the northeastern mountains of [[Labrynna]], in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''.  

As its name would suggest, the entire village is symmetrical, and each inhabitant of the village has their own twin. In the village lies the entrance to [[Skull Dungeon]], home to the fourth [[Essences of Time|Essence of Time]]. Inside the [[Middle House]], which serves as the town hall for the village, lies the [[Tuni Nut]], the village's sacred symbol that holds the village in balance.<ref>{{Cite|The Tuni Nut is the city's symbol.|Symmetry Village Citizen|OOA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Tuni Nut: The nut that balances all.|Inventory Description|OOA}}</ref> In the present age, the Middle House is replaced by a [[Mystical Tree|Gale Tree]], where Link can gather his first [[Mystical Seeds#Gale Seeds|Gale Seeds]]. The tree also provides easy [[warp]] access to the village, which can otherwise only be reached by a bridge spanning the [[Nuun Highlands]] in the present.

In the basement of the Middle House resides the [[Thin Man]], who plays a role in the [[Oracle of Ages Trading Sequence]]. [[Link]] can trade him the [[Dumbbell]] for his [[Cheesy Mustache]].

In search of the fourth [[Essences of Time|Essence of Time]], Link travels to the Nuun Highlands where a bridge crosses over to the [[Talus Peaks]] where the village is found. However, the bridge will not be built upon Link's arrival. At the request of [[Mutoh]], the head [[Carpenters|carpenter]], Link gathers up all the workers on break,<ref>{{Cite|Those lazy, worthless fools! Just as we're buildin' this bridge to the Symmetry City Ruins, they go off on break! I wait and I wait, but they don't come back!|Mutoh|OOA}}</ref> with the help of his animal companion (either [[Ricky]], [[Moosh]], or [[Dimitri]], depending on certain choices Link has made on his adventures). The workers will then build the bridge, allowing Link to enter the village.  

When Link arrives in Symmetry City for the first time, he finds the village in ruins, and infested with [[Pokey|Fire Pokeys]]. Link then travels to the past to find the cause of the problem, at which point he notices the volcano inside the village erupting, wreaking havoc on the village. He then learns that the [[Tuni Nut]], the village's sacred symbol, has broken. This causes instability in the village, thus the erupting volcano.<ref>{{Cite|When the Tuni Nut broke, the city fell out of balance, and the volcano started erupting.|Symmetry Village Citizen|OOA}}</ref> To restore balance to the village, [[Link]] must bring the Tuni Nut to [[Patch]] atop [[Restoration Wall]] to have it fixed.<ref>{{Cite|A guru named Patch lives at the top of Restoration Wall. I think he can fix the broken Tuni Nut, but I could never climb that wall.|Symmetry Village Citizen|OOA}}</ref> Once the nut is fixed and placed on its pedestal in the [[Middle House]], peace will return to the village. The volcano becomes inactive, and the present-day Symmetry City will no longer be in ruins. In the present, the raging volcano is replaced by a waterfall, parted in the middle by the entrance to [[Skull Dungeon]].<ref>{{Cite|Huh? The cave entrance? It was covered by lava from the volcano long ago! Maybe if the volcano calms down, you may be able to get in.|Symmetry City Citizen|OOA}}</ref>

==Trivia==

*In the present, inhabitants of Symmetry City claim to hear flowing down from the mountains surrounding the village.<ref>{{Cite|Sometimes I hear music flowing down from the mountaintop, but I wonder why.|Symmetry City Citizen|OOA}}</ref> In reality, the music comes from [[Tokkey]], who is researching a tune for the [[Harp of Ages]] inside a cave on [[Talus Peaks]].
