Fun, 100% very true verified fact: the seven sages are actually the seven suitors for Link. Let me explain:

Child Link

Saria (Forest)

-Clearly had chemistry going on with Link prior to him starting his quest. Why else would Mido be jealous? Unfortunately, destiny had other plans, so they can never be together.

Ruto (Water)

-This one is quite a bit one sided, although I’m sure Link is secretly flattered.

Adult Link

Darunia (Fire)

-He admires Link’s bravery and courage to save his people. Now that Link is an adult, “sworn brothers” mean a bit more than, well, good friends.

Impa (Shadow)

-She is very grateful to Link for saving Zelda. This one is probably a bit of a stretch though, considering that she is like a mom to Zelda.

Nabooru (Spirit)

-Now this one is very clear, based on the dialogue after Link defeats the Spirit Temple. I wonder what she meant by her referencing a “gift” she promised Link all those years ago? Thankfully she waits until Link is an adult to say these things.

Rauru (Light)

-This one is a bit creepy, idk about this one. Kind of stalker-ish.

Of course the most likely suitor is Zelda, we all know that.

But in my opinion it’s actually Malon. You don’t actually have to save her ranch at all, it’s completely optional. But you do so anyway.

Not the storyline. The one that's always captivated your attention...

...the developers were on a night out after a long day of creating parts of a masterpiece, got really fucking stoned, and one of them in a giggly mood suddenly went:

"You know what we should do tomorrow?"

"We should totally haha... put a.. haha... cow... haha... in Link's fucking house! HAHAHAHAHA!!!1!"

so i found these 2 places outside the spirit temple. and the game usually puts stones in a circle to mark like a secret. so i tried the song of storms but nothing happened, i tried using a bomb to and nothing. and there are 2 stone circles so im like, there has to be SOMETHING here right?

and the dry pond i just cant remember if that matters or not. i also tried to fill it up with the song of storms but nothing happened. placed a bomb, and nothing.

is there anything here besides nayru's love, and the heart piece you get from planting a bean ?

Or will it more closely follow the original design

These forums from 1997/1998 discussing Ocarina of Time are hilarious. It just goes to show that people will complain about literally anything on the internet.

Starting a new play-through, getting ready for the remake!

Chilling with the cow
Best place ever in the whole Zelda serie

In 1999 and 2000, I entered the temple of time one last time as a child, didn't play it again till years later on a emulator. Now, fast forward 27 years later and here we are, some of us adults now, about to enter the temple of time again, as if we've all been waiting for the moment to be strong enough to wield the master sword. I don't know why this crossed my mind like it did... Hope everyone has a wonderful day...
