“Ow! Ow! Ow!!! Watch where you're goin'! You just hit Maple, the Great Witch Syrup's apprentice! Thanks to you, all the stuff fell out of my bag! The Great Witch will be mad!”
Maple is a recurring character in the The Legend of Zelda series. She is the teenage granddaughter of Syrup the witch and is training to become a proper witch like her grandmother. She can often be perceived as a bit rude and headstrong. In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, she flies around the worlds of Holodrum and Labrynna, her transportation alternating between a stereotypical witch's broom, a flying vacuum cleaner and, in Linked Games, a flying saucer. In the Oracle Games, it is completely optional to bump into her when she appears, with the exception of the first meeting, but it is recommended that Link does so if he wants to collect the rare Piece of Heart she sometimes drops.
