Originally, the project of building the tower was intended to guide Queen Ambi's love, the [[Cap'n]], home from the sea. These plans for the construction of the tower change, however, when the Oracle of Ages, [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru]], arrives and becomes Queen Ambi's most trusted adviser through Veran's cunning.

The Black Tower's Turret poses two more puzzles to Link to bar his way. One is a maze of staircases between two floors, and Link must make his way through the maze to find the stairs up. On the next floor, Link is surrounded by flames in a room full of staircases, and must follow the right flame (the one that appears behind him when he ascends the stairs) until it shows him which staircase to take. Taking any other staircase forces Link to enter a floor of monsters, and he must destroy them before exiting back to the room of staircases. The true staircase takes him to the top floor of the tower, where Veran's chamber awaits. | The Black Tower's Turret poses two more puzzles to Link to bar his way.
