Rauru, Sage of Light
Era of Chaos
During the Era of Chaos and shortly before the Kingdom of Hyrule was established by the royal descendants of the goddess Hylia's mortal incarnation, Rauru built the Temple of Time over the remains of the Sealed Temple that was located deep within the Faron Woods in the Faron Province. In doing this, he protected the Triforce from the chaotic Interloper War being fought over its ownership at the time. Rauru named the temple after the Temple of Time from the legends of the events of Skyward Sword about a hero who had wielded the Master Sword and traveled between two time periods. He chose to remain within the Temple of Light, situated in the center of the Sacred Realm, only leaving it in the form of the massive, wise and watchful owl known as Kaepora Gaebora. Knowledge of the Sacred Realm passed onto the Sheikah tribe and Rauru's name faded into obscurity.
Ocarina of Time In the events of Ocarina of Time, after Link defeats Gohma in a failed attempt to save the Great Deku Tree, he leaves the Kokiri Forest and has his first encounter with Rauru, who awaits him in his owl form as Kaepora Gaebora at the edge of the woods. The owl gives him encouragement on the adventure the Great Deku Tree has tasked him with and advises him to visit Princess Zelda at Hyrule Castle before leaving with a promise that they will meet again.
True to his word, Kaepora Gaebora often appears to tell Link about a new area whenever the young hero comes upon it, and he picks him up and carries him twice when Link could not progress on his own. Once Link reaches the Spirit Temple, after navigating between the eras of his childhood and adulthood, Kaepora Gaebora compliments him on his growth and bids farewell after giving one final piece of advice on how to defeat the evil witches, Twinrova.
When Link drew the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time, Ganondorf entered the Sacred Realm and obtained the Triforce of Power from the Temple of Light. The Sacred Realm transformed into the Evil Realm, with the exception of the Chamber of Sages. The Master Sword kept Link in the safety of this chamber so that the boy could grow old enough to truly assume the role of the Hero of Time. Rauru speaks with the now-young adult Link for the first time after a period of seven years, this time as his actual form, informing him of what has transpired and his duties as the legendary hero.[15][16] After instructing him to awaken five other Sages (whom are Link's friends from childhood), Rauru gives him the Light Medallion.
Rauru contacts Link again through telepathy after he frees the other Sages. He tells the to meet "someone" waiting at the Temple of Time before facing Ganondorf. This person turns out to be Sheik, who reveals herself as none other than Princess Zelda, the seventh Sage. Unfortunately, by revealing herself to Link, Zelda exposes herself to the Evil King, who subsequently captures her and takes the princess of Hyrule to his castle. Rauru then instructs Link to save Zelda and informs him that he and the other Sages will aid him by providing entrance to Ganon's Castle and the powerful barrier leading to the inner tower. When Link finally defeats Ganon, Rauru leads the other Sages when they use their powers to ultimately seal the villain within the corrupted Sacred Realm to restore peace.
