{{Manual|OoA|Nayru|As the Oracle of Ages, Nayru wields power over the currents of time in Labrynna. She is a wise and serene young woman who spends her days singing songs and wishing for peace. Little does she know the Sorceress of Shadows covets her powers...}}
Nayru first appears in the game, {{OoA}}, which is, of course, named after her title. She is a singer with one of the finest voices ever heard in [[Labrynna]].<ref>{{Cite|Nayru's the best singer in Labrynna!|Monkey|OoA}}</ref> However, her true identity as the Oracle of Ages is exposed when [[Veran]] possesses her,<ref>{{Cite|Nayru is no mere diva!

Nayru is a very peaceful person. She enjoys singing, and it is this that has made her popular throughout the land, among [[Human]]s and [[Animals]] alike. She attracts both when she sings. Her personality is somewhat timid, but judging from her actions, she'll do whatever she can to help a friend in need, or [[Link]]. [[Ralph]], her protector whom she has known since they were both children, is a close friend of hers, and never far away.<ref>{{Cite|I've known Nayru was the Oracle of Ages since she was a child. I have always been beside her, protecting her.|Ralph|OoA}}</ref>

Nayru also possesses a mystical instrument known as the [[Harp of Ages]], which allows Link (and presumably whoever holds it) to shift through the folds of time, when the right songs are played.<ref>{{Cite|Harp of Ages: A harp used to navigate time.|Inventory Description|OoA}}</ref> However, Nayru will also use the Harp for simply playing a tune on occasion. As the Oracle of Ages, Nayru has no true need for the Harp of Ages, as she is capable of moving through time at a whim. It is quite likely that Nayru herself created the Harp of Ages.

'''Possessed Nayru''' is a name given to Nayru while she is possessed by [[Veran]]. She was initially possessed in the opening scenes of the game, where the handful of witnesses included [[Impa]], [[Ralph]] and [[Link]].<ref name=Possesion /> Everyone else, aside from the nearly-omniscient [[Maku Tree]], is unaware of the possession, and still believe she is the pure Oracle of Ages. With Nayru serving as her cloak, Veran begins to malevolently advise [[Queen Ambi]]'s decisions in the past,<ref>{{Cite|They said the Oracle of Ages convinced Queen Ambi to build a Black Tower...|Maku Tree|OoA}}</ref> which affect both the past age's citizens, and the present age in which Link initially resides.

One notable influence Veran gave was to seal off [[Ambi's Palace]] from casual visitors, barring both Link and Ralph from attacking Veran directly. Another was to discreetly confiscate all [[Mystery Seed]]s, the only known way to harm a possessing Veran without also hurting the possessed. Early in the game, Link unknowingly offered his seeds to the Queen and her adviser in order to temporarily enter the Palace and meet Veran face-to-face.<ref>{{Cite|Those are the Mystery Seeds Queen Ambi has been demanding! Nice work, kid! I'll take you to the palace!|Castle Guard|OoA}}</ref> He was still able to gain more Mystery Seeds later in the game, however.

After obtaining the [[Lonely Peak]], Queen Ambi leaves her Palace, dropping the guard enough for Link to penetrate the castle's defenses and reach Possessed Nayru.<ref>{{Cite|Link!

Nayru also appears in {{TMC}}, where it is mentioned that she descends from a long line of oracles in Labrynna. She is one of the three ladies in the [[Happy Hearth Inn]] (along with [[Din (Oracle)|Din]] and [[Farore (Oracle)|Farore]]). In exchange for help finding a house, she will be able to give Link a [[Charm (The Minish Cap)|Charm]].<ref>{{Cite|If you have an empty bottle, I can put one of my homemade charms inside!|Nayru|TMC}}</ref> Nayru's charm boosts defense and turns Link's [[tunic]] blue for the short duration of the effect.<ref>{{Cite|You got Nayru's Charm!

In the {{OoA|Himekawa}}, after seeing her capture in the future, Nayru placed a barrier around a forest to hide herself. Only a person with the [[Triforce]] mark on their hand could undo it.
