'''Rauru''' is an ancient [[Hylian]] and the [[Sage|Sage of Light]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. He is one of the ancient Sages, and possibly the only remaining one.<ref>''I am Rauru, one of the ancient [[Sage]]s... Ages ago, we ancient Sages built the [[Temple of Time]] to protect the entrance to the [[Sacred Realm]]... This is the Chamber of Sages, inside the [[Temple of Light]]... The Temple of Light, situated in the very center of the Sacred Realm, is the last stronghold against [[Ganon]]dorf's evil forces. The [[Master Sword]]--the evil-destroying sword that you pulled out of the [[Pedestal of Time]]--was the final key to the Sacred Realm. [[Link]]... Don't be alarmed... Look at yourself...!'' - Rauru (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> He lived in the [[Temple of Light]], which is located in the [[Sacred Realm]], for many centuries, guarding the [[Triforce]].<ref name=Quote2>''But, remember... Though you opened the Door of Time in the name of peace... [[Ganon]]dorf, the [[Gerudo]] King of Thieves, used it to enter this forbidden [[Sacred Realm]]! He obtained the [[Triforce]] from the [[Temple of Light]], and with its power, he became the King of Evil... His evil power radiated from the temples of [[Hyrule]], and in seven short years, it transformed Hyrule into a world of monsters. My power now has only little influence, even in this Sacred Realm... Namely, this Chamber of Sages. But there is still hope... The power of the [[Sage]]s remains. When the power of all the Sages is awakened... The Sages' Seals will contain all the evil power in the void of the Realm... I, Rauru, am one of the Sages... And... Your power to fight together with the Sages makes you the Hero of Time! The Hero of Time, chosen by the [[Master Sword]]! Keep my spirit with you... And, find the power of the other Sages and add their might to your own!'' - Rauru (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> | |||
Rauru | [[Link]] met Rauru after opening the Door of Time and drawing the [[Master Sword]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]]. Rauru recognized Link as the destined hero and kept him with him in the Sacred Realm for seven years, so that, in the safety of the Light Temple, he would become old enough to actually assume the role of hero. Rauru spoke with Link for the first time after those seven years, informing him of what had happened and what he was supposed to do as the hero.<ref>''The [[Master Sword]] is a sacred blade which evil ones may never touch.... Only one worthy of the title of "Hero of Time" can pull it from the [[Pedestal of Time]].... However, you were too young to be the Hero of Time.... Therefore, your spirit was sealed here for seven years. And now that you are old enough, the time has come for you to awaken as the Hero of Time! Well, do you understand your destiny?'' - Rauru (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref><ref name=Quote2 /> After instructing him to awaken the other Sages, Rauru gave him the [[Sage Medallions|Light Medallion]].<ref>''You received the [[Sage Medallions|Light Medallion]]! Rauru the [[Sage]] adds his power to yours!'' - N/A (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> | ||
Rauru did not contact Link until he had freed the other five Sages, but failed to protect the seventh Sage, [[Princess Zelda]], from [[Ganon]]dorf who kidnapped her. Rauru instructed Link to save Zelda and told him that he and the other Sages would aid him by providing entrance to [[Ganon's Castle]].<ref>''[[Link]]...can you hear me? It's Rauru, the [[Sage]]. We six will gather our power to create a bridge to the [[Ganon's Castle|castle]] where [[Ganon]]dorf dwells... The castle's keep, which is known as Ganon's Tower, is protected by six evil barriers. Bring down the six barriers and save [[Princess Zelda]]!!'' - Rauru (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> Finally, Rauru led the other Sages when they used their powers to seal away Ganondorf.<ref>''Ancient Creators of [[Hyrule]]! Now, open the sealed door and send the [[Ganon|Evil Incarnation of Darkness]] into the void of the [[Dark World|Evil Realm]]!!'' - Rauru (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> | |||
Unlike the other Sages, Rauru was not seen at the ending of ''Ocarina of Time'', possibly indicating that he stayed in the Light Temple. | |||
==Kaepora Gaebora== | |||
It is believed by some that [[Kaepora Gaebora]] is the physical manifestation of Rauru outside of the Sacred Realm, which he uses to travel [[Hyrule]]. One argument for this theory is that a [[Gossip Stone]] refers to Kaepora Gaebora as "the reincarnation of an ancient Sage".<ref>''They say that the owl named [[Kaepora Gaebora]] is the reincarnation of an ancient [[Sage]].'' - [[Gossip Stone]] (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> Some also consider the quote of another Gossip Stone, that Kaepora Gaebora's "character is rather lighthearted", a a reference to Rauru's position as the Sage of Light.<ref>''They say that strange owl, [[Kaepora Gaebora]], may look big and heavy, but its character is rather lighthearted.'' - [[Gossip Stone]] (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | |||
* Rauru, like several other characters from '' Ocarina of Time'' was named after a town featured in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. | |||
