=== Ancestry ===
Due to being the only Zora among the descendants of the [[Sage#Ocarina of Time|Sages]], and also being a royal figure among them, it is likely that [[Princess Ruto]] is her ancestor. This would also mean that she is likely the Sage of Water.

==Trivia==
==Nomenclature==
*The event involving Oren and the smooth gem is likely an homage to the Great Fairies from ''A Link to the Past'', specifically the 'Fat Fairy' within the Pyramid of Power. Not only does Oren's bloated form bear a notable similarity to the Fat Fairy, but the option to throw the smooth gem into the fountain is presented in a similar manner as the item upgrade fairies from the aforementioned game. Oren's emergence from the fountain moments later in her normal form also bears resemblance to the manner in which some Great Fairies have emerged from fountains in the past.

Biography

Oren is the Queen of the Zoras and resides in Zora's Domain, where she is served by the Zora Underlings. She is also one of the Seven Sages. When Link first encounters Oren, she is stuck in a bloated state because the Shady Guy stole her Smooth Gem. Once Link returns the Smooth Gem to her pool, she returns to normal and gives him the Zora's Flippers as a sign of her gratitude,[5] though she warns him that the Zoras living in the rivers and lakes are highly territorial.[6] Despite her attemps to change this, the hostile faction of Zoras grew stronger over time, becoming monsters by the era of The Adventure of Link.[7]

After Link obtains the Pendant of Wisdom from within the House of Gales, a Zora Underling will tell him about how Oren left him behind while they were swimming together,[3] not knowing that she was actually turned into a Painting by Yuga and kidnapped as part of a plan to resurrect Ganon. After Yuga merges with Ganon, her portrait is hidden within Lorule's Swamp Palace. Upon being rescued, Oren thanks Link, before asking him to rescue the remaining Sages.[8] If she is the final Sage to be rescued, Oren announces that Link has earned the Triforce of Courage,[9] before all of the Sages combine their power to grant it to the him. Oren then expresses her undying gratitude, claiming that Link is one of the very best among his kind, but reminds him that he must still defeat Yuga so that she may return to the Zoras.[10]
