{{Term/Store|Oren||Series, ALBW}} is a character in {{ALBW}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 300 {{Exp Game|ALBW}}}}</ref> She is the ruler of the Zora population living in [[Hyrule]] and is one of the [[Sage|Seven Sages]].

Oren is the Queen of the Zoras and resides in [[Zora's Domain]], where she is served by the [[Zora Underling]]s. She is also one of the [[Sage|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,<ref>{{Cite|They will allow you to swim and dive, so you may travel the rivers and roam the lakes.|Oren|ALBW}}</ref> though she warns him that the [[Zora (Enemy)|Zora]]s living in the rivers and lakes are highly territorial.<ref>{{Cite|But my Zoras do consider that their territory, and while I tell them to get along with people...

So be careful out there.|Oren|ALBW}}</ref> Despite her attemps to change this, the hostile faction of Zoras grew stronger over time, becoming monsters by the era of {{TAoL}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Despite the queen's attempts to return the Zora to their former glory, this hostile faction of Zora grow stronger over time, and by the era of The Adventure of Link, the Zora are outright monsters.|book= E |publisher= |page= 49}}</ref>

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,<ref name= "Abandoned"/> 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.<ref>{{Cite|Once more you have come to my rescue, Link. How I wish I could again reward you with a gift—something that would calm the troubled waters of your journey. I can only offer you my deepest gratitude...and yet another task, I'm afraid. You must rescue every one of the Seven Sages. Only together can we help you defeat this great evil.|Oren|ALBW}}</ref> If she is the final Sage to be rescued, Oren announces that Link has earned the [[Triforce of Courage]],<ref>{{Cite|Thank you, my young hero. You have saved all seven of the Sages. You have displayed great heroism in crossing the worlds to rescue us. So this is your just reward. The Triforce of Courage is yours. It will be essential in your battle with Yuga, though always remember, your courage is what inspires us all...|Oren|ALBW}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite|You have my undying gratitude, young hero. You are truly among the very best of your people. Now there is more for you to do, if I am to get back home to MY people. The Zoras are surely worried.|Oren|ALBW}}</ref>
