Biography
Oracle of Seasons
Link first encounters Rosa after finishing the Gnarled Root Dungeon. As he begins his search for an item to help him with his quest, he stumbles across Rosa, who is shouting about the Temple of Seasons falling into Subrosia. As she does not want people following her back to Subrosia, Rosa does her best to make sure nobody follows her, unaware of Link trailing her all the way to Subrosia.
Later on, Link meets Rosa again, giving her a new ribbon as she had recently lost hers.[1] Grateful, Rosa decides that she will go out with Link, enabling him to use her key to unlock the locked doors across Subrosia, most importantly to the Tower of Summer.[2]
Following this, Rosa will follow Link around Subrosia anytime he asks her. She will not, however, leave Subrosia, leaving Link if he does so.
It is obvious, from the reactions of certain Subrosians, that Rosa is considered very attractive among their race.[3] Many Subrosians express shock, or jealousy if Link talks to them while travelling with Rosa.[4]
Oracle of Ages
In a Linked Game of Oracle of Ages, Rosa appears on Crescent Island. She helps Link get his Shovel back from the Tokay. However, she will not follow Link around, telling him her trip's theme is that of "the independant woman."[5]
Trivia
- Rosa's Japanese name is ウララ, a popular Japanese girl name meaning "beauty" that also functions as a pun on her race's name, which is ウーラ. Because the race received another name in the Western world to preserve the meaning of "hidden", the Ūra Urara became the Subrosian Rosa to preserve the pun.
