Ralph (Oracle of Ages)

Ralph is the supporting character in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, and is the loyal guardian and childhood friend of the oracle Nayru. He serves as the character who spends much of the game providing helpful information to Link at various points.

Personality and Traits
Ralph is a very arrogant and short tempered young man who had protected Nayru when they were younger, and shows resentment towards other characters like Link, whom he formed a rivalry with and claimed that he does not need Link's help. He is shown to be very protective of Nayru, when Veran, (who had Impa under her control), possesses her, he makes a threat to kill Veran if she doesn't release Nayru, yet he backs down when Veran tells him that Nayru will be hurt. While he scarcely thinks about the consequences of his actions, Ralph does show a remorseful and selfless side when Link saved Nayru (leading his Queen Ambi to be possessed by Veran), he acknowledged the way he behaved and apologizes to Link for not being of much help to him. He also shows a display of his willingness to sacrifice his life to protect Nayru, as in the case of his confrontation with his possessed ancestor, but that is done more out of foolishness as he could have used Mystery Seeds to force Veran to abandon the queen rather than outright killing her and risking his own existence.

In the manga, Ralph is given a larger role, providing greater comic relief, and is more emotional at times when it comes to Nayru being in danger.

Physical Appearance
Ralph has long flipped red hair which covers his right eye, and has fair skin, and green eyes. For clothing, he wears a blue pointed cap which stands up with a curve at the end with the rims being a golden yellow rim, and a cloak of the same colors as the hat, which covers almost his whole neck. He also wears a light blue tunic with magenta rims, a green belt with a gold buckle, and pants of the similar matching colors as the tunic. He wears light brown clog-shaped boots for footwear.
