Biography
Oracle of Seasons
Din appears inOracle of Seasons, where she is a talented and famous dancer in the land ofHolodrum.[4] As the Oracle of Seasons, Din is responsible for regulating the seasons of Holodrum. Although she has the power to change the seasons at any time or place, she refrains from doing so, allowing them to flow naturally. She travels with aTroupe of Performers throughout the land as a means of evadingGeneral Onox, who intends to imprison her in order to throw the natural order into chaos.[5] Din is also aware of the location of a mystical tool known as theRod of Seasons, which allowsLink to change the seasons at will.
Din's personality is an energetic one, and she loves to have people dance with her. At the start ofOracle of Seasons, Din has Link dance with her.[6][7] She is also known to be a caring individual who helps others.[8] After Onox's downfall, Din will quite often suggest that she and Link dance together again. She also does so inOracle of Ages, and in aLinked Game afterGanon has been defeated.

The Minish Cap
Din is said to be a famous dancer fromHolodrum inThe Minish Cap.[9] AfterVaati impersonatesKing Daltus, she appears alongside the otherOracles in a room on the second floor of theHappy Hearth Inn, where she will tellLink that they are looking for somewhere to live.[10]
If LinkFusesKinstone Pieces withFarore,Gorman arrives inHyrule Town seeking to rent out hisVacant House.[11] When Link speaks with Gorman, he will ask Link to let him know if he finds a woman willing to rent the House.[12] Link has the option to show any of the three Oracles the Vacant House; if he choosesNayru or Farore, Din remarks that things are different with only two of them remaining.[13] If the second Vacant House is built and given to another Oracle, Din is left as the only one of the trio without a home, and will remark that she is lonely.[14]
If Link shows either of the Vacant Houses to Din, she will move in; he can visit her afterwards, whereupon she will thank him and offer to give himDin's Charm whenever he has anEmpty Bottle.[15] When consumed, theCharm makes Link's attacks stronger and turns his tunic (andEzlo) red for the duration of the effect.[16]
Link can also Fuse Kinstone Pieces with Din,[17] resulting in aJoy Butterfly appearing in theWind Ruins; when it is collected, Link is able to shootArrows more quickly.[18]
