Template:Character
Queen Ambi appears in Template:OOA and the Template:OOS main-Linked Game. She is the queen of Labrynna in a time long past, lover of the Captain and ancestor of Ralph. She has displayed on at least one occasion to have a certain vanity to her character, though she later sees the error of her ways and returns to her more well-known persona of being a kind and just ruler.
Background
Back when Lynna City was merely a village, Ambi was the ruling Queen. She was known by her subjects as a fair and just ruler, until the day Veran, in the guise of Nayru, appeared with her sinister plan.
The Fall of the Queen
The very same day in which Veran arrived, she seduced Queen Ambi, convincing her that if she built her tower, then known as Ambi's Tower, to the heavens, she would go down in history as the greatest queen ever. Falling for Veran's persuading lies, Ambi decreed every man in Lynna Village was to go to work and build her tower, with the secret help of the endless day Veran could create, using the powers of Nayru. Knowing her control over Queen Ambi, Veran had Ambi send those closest to her away, so that there was no chance of a power loss.
As Veran learnt of the Mystery Seeds which grew in the past, she used her influence to convince Ambi to offer a reward to the person who brought her the seeds. Ambi did so, and it wasn't long before Link himself brought the Mystery Seeds to Queen Ambi. This meeting would be the only one that she and Link would have, before Link's rescue of Nayru. Rewarding Link with Bombs, Queen Ambi almost immediately sent Link away again.
Possession of Queen Ambi
It was only later, when Ambi left the palace for unspecified reasons (presumably to inspect the construction of the Black Tower), that Link would attempt to rescue Nayru. By the time Ambi returned, Nayru had recently been freed. However, Veran was far from defeated, and immediately possessed the body of Queen Ambi. After failing to capture Nayru, Link and Ralph, Veran, using Queen Ambi's influence, now pushed the town harder than ever before, to get what was now called the Black Tower complete. As the tower reached completion, Veran was able to use Ambi's body now to control time, although to a slightly lesser extent than Nayru.
A Reliquished Queen
Before Link could arrive to face Veran, Ralph came, prepared to kill his ancestor and sacrifice himself for the good of Labrynna. However, he was easily overwhelmed, just as Link arrived, possibly saving his life. After a brief fight, Veran was defeated, and Ambi was freed, immediately fleeing before the next phase.
After the lengthy battle with the rest of Veran's forms, Link, Nayru and Ralph left the Black Tower behind, only to come face-to-face with Ambi and a group of her knights. However, Ambi reveals that she had not come to fight, but to help free Link, and fight Veran.
After Link, Nayru and Ralph returned to the present, they were shocked to see a statue of Link not only near the Maku Tree, but in the middle of Lynna City as well, built by order of Queen Ambi, who had returned to being a kind queen, beloved by her people.
The Captain and the Queen
In a Linked Oracle of Seasons, Ambi can be found in Holodrum, sent on a journey by Nayru to see other times and locations.[1] Link can find her at the Sunken City and the Eastern Coast near the entrance to the Samasa Desert. She is quite taken with the Sunken City, and ponders making her palace "sunken" as well.[2]
Upon Link returning the Captain's Bell to him, Ambi arrives at the quarters in Subrosia, and it is revealed the pirate captain is her long lost lover. Though they are happy to be reunited after so many years[3], Ambi understands he is a man of the sea and cannot stay with her, but vows to always wait for his return.[4]
Trivia
- Her name may be derived from the word "ambition." Alternately, it may derive from "ambivalence," as the queen begins as a kind woman, before growing greedy and vain under Veran's advice, then outright cruel and harsh when possessed by Veran, to a kind queen once more.
