Good job!|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 81}}</ref> Roperi comes with Link and Raven to observe the Black Tower.

Sometime later, Raven, Link, and [[Ralph]] enter the Hidden Village. Ralph has been possessed by [[Veran]]. Roperi notices that something is wrong with him,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link, who is that? I don't like him. He's scary.|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 122}}</ref> but Link brushes off her concern.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Who? Ralph? Don't worry! He may be stupid, but he's all right.|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 122}}</ref> After Veran uses Ralph to burn Sir Raven's [[Mystery Seed]]s, her fatal weakness, she sends [[Ramrock]] to destroy the Village.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Rise, Ramrock!

Stay off our field! Don't step on it!|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 129}}</ref> Before Roperi can be harmed, Link destroys the beast. Roperi hugs Link gratefully, calling him a tiny hero.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= A tiny hero!|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 130}}</ref> Even with the monster gone, Queen Ambi's soldiers attack the villagers. Though he is wounded, Sir Raven protects the villagers, until archers threaten to shoot them all,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Surrender or we'll turn you into pincushions!|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 136}}</ref> including Roperi. Raven surrenders and is captured. Roperi bursts into tears, watching as Link, Ralph, and [[Puini]] rush to Raven's rescue.  

When Raven has been rescued, he, Ralph, Link, and [[Nayru]] find Roperi hiding in a cave with the other villagers. She explains that the rest of the villagers were taken to the Tower.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= They captured everyone and took them to the tower!|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 153}}</ref> Nayru reveals that Roperi's sprout is actually a young [[Mystery Tree]],<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link, this is a young Mystery Seed Tree...|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 154}}</ref> their only hope to defeat Veran. Roperi stays by Nayru as she uses the [[Harp of Ages]] to speed the sprout's growth. Once it produces a Mystery Seed, Link and Raven use it against Veran. After the following battles, Roperi is seen finally reuniting with her father. As Link readies to return to modern day [[Labrynna]], Roperi asks him to not leave.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Link, don't go!|book= OoA (Himekawa)|publisher= |page= 188}}</ref> Link explains that she does not need him anymore, because her family is reunited.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Roperi, you got your father back.
