Biography[]
After coming to the conclusion that Yuga is after the descendants of the Seven Sages, with the intention of freeing Ganon, Sahasrahla asks Link to warn his pupil Osfala, a descendant of the Seven Sages, about the sorcerer's plot. Outside the Eastern Palace's entrance, the young hero encounters Osfala, who recognizes Link as the Blacksmith's apprentice and asks him why he has come to the Palace.[3] The young hero proceeds to inform Osfala about Yuga and the events that recently occurred within the Sanctuary, warning him about the peril he's in.[4] However, Osfala doesn't believe he's in danger, stating that although Yuga is a cause for concern, his master shouldn't be worried about him because he's a descendant of the Seven Sages.[5] In addition, he tells Link that he's also wielding a Sand Rod, so he's almost invincible.[6] He then enters the Eastern Palace, stating that he'll "get to the bottom of all this Yuga nonsense."[7] After Osfala enters the Eastern Palace, Link hears a scream. When the end of the dungeon is reached, Link is already too late, as he arrives just in time to witness Osfala being turned into a Painting by Yuga. Link engages in battle with Yuga in an attempt to rescue Osfala and Seres.
Later, Yuga uses the Seven Sages' powers to resurrect Ganon from darkness and fuses himself with the Demon King. Afterwards, Link discovers Osfala's Painting in Thieves' Town; he is shown to it by the Thief Girl after Link defeats Stalblind inside the Thieves' Hideout. When Osfala emerges in the Chamber of Sages he is surprised because he believed he would be the Hero of the Age. Even though he is disappointed, he wishes Link good luck for the rest of his quest. He then has Sheerow return the Rented Sand Rod to Ravio's Shop, where Link can now rent or buy it.
Once all of the Seven Sages are rescued from Lorule's seven dungeons, Osfala and the other six Sages use their power to summon the Triforce of Courage so Link could defeat Yuga Ganon.
