The Great Maku Tree

The Maku Tree is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. The female Maku Tree is the guardian of Labrynna.

During a brief conversation with Link she disappears from the present. After traveling to the past, Link saves her from an untimely death at the hands of two Moblins under Veran's command. The young tree becomes immediately infatuated with him, and promises to help his quest however she can when she's older. When Link returns to the present (400 years later), she immediately recognizes him and sends him on his way to collect the Essences of Time to restore her memory. She gives him the Seed Satchel that allows him to clear small trees in his path. At the end of the linked game, during the cutscene Zelda will kiss Link causing the Maku Tree to start to cry.

Farore works at a desk inside of the Maku Tree as a secret keeper for Link. Past Farore's desk and up some stairs and vines, there's a small area on top of the tree with multiple clumps of leaves. These clumps open as Link clears each dungeon, revealing useful locations such as a Fairy Fountain.
