Sequel to Breath of the Wild. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is one of two The Legend of Zelda titles released for the Game Boy Color , the other being Oracle of Seasons , both representing the seventh and eighth main installments of the series. Released near the end of the system's lifespan, Oracle of Ages and its counterpart were said to "send the Game Boy Color out with a bang. After completing one of the two games, they can be linked to form a single, linear plot as opposed to two parallel ones with an alternate ending.
Game-linking also unlocks extra content, such as new items. Link , having been sent from Hyrule to Labrynna by the power of the Triforce, awoke in Labrynna, almost immediately after stumbling upon Impa , who was besieged by a group of Octoroks. This allowed her to trick Link into moving a sacred barrier that obstructed her goal: to possess the Oracle of Ages, Nayru. In full view of Link and Nayru's bodyguard, Ralph , Veran quickly possessed Nayru and began to utilize her newfound power of controlling time, traveling to the past and beginning her plan to bring untold sorrow to the world.
However, the Essences, as their names suggest, were hidden throughout time, making them very hard for one person to obtain. By taking up the Harp of Ages in Nayru's house, Link was able to traverse time and search for the Essences throughout Labrynna, all the while correcting the damage Veran had caused to the land, such as in Symmetry Village.
More than halfway into his journey, Link finally got a chance to rescue Nayru from Veran's clutches, at Ambi's Palace. However, as soon as he did, Veran possessed Queen Ambi. Using her new authority, Veran was almost successful in capturing Nayru, Link, and Ralph, but at the last second Nayru used her power to return them all to the present.
Gathering the last of the essences, Link prepared for the final showdown with Veran, but before he could go, Ralph ran off before him, so that he might slay Ambi, even knowing that with Ambi as his ancestor, her death would mean his.
Veran proved too powerful for Ralph, knocking him out instead of killing him before moving on to fight Link. After freeing Ambi, and the powerful battle that followed, Link was able to best Veran once and for all. Veran laughed as she died, saying that her goal had been completed, the Flame of Sorrow lit.
As Link, Nayru and Ralph returned to their own time, a mysterious pair laughed, saying that the true evil had yet to arrive Oracle of Ages and its counterpart, Oracle of Seasons retain many gameplay elements from Link's Awakening especially the DX version , such as the graphics many sprites in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are reused from Link's Awakening , audio and top-view perspective.
Instead of a sword, you can try and run through the game only using the slingshot, or maybe just use the shield as a bashing board. The most interesting part of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons is how they were developed.
In the end, the project turned into three different games, two of which became Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. The initial three games were supposed to be designed to interweave with each other and connect to form one epic story. It became apparent this was too difficult to accomplish with current technology, so they designed them separately with a code system to connect. Planned as a trilogy to represent the three parts of the Triforce Wisdom, Power, and Courage, only two were made.
While the Mystical Seed of Courage was canceled, some of the design art still lives online. The other two, which were later renamed Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons , were released at the same time to critical acclaim. Writer, gamer, philosopher, historian.

Link must then enter Twinrova's lair and stop the ritual. Upon completing the linked game, players receive yet another password.

A manga novelization of the game was made by the manga-ka Akira Himegawa, a sequel to the Oracle of Seasons manga. It introduced plot-lines and story elements that weren't included in the original game, characters like Sir Raven, Link's ancestor who travelled to Labrynna and worked as Queen Ambi's chief guard, as well as a companion in the bumbling Ralph a young man who assists Link on his quest and finally Link's grandparents who raised him.
It also included the link-up segment of the game, hence Ganon made an appearance. However, unlike the game, Zelda does not kiss Link at the end of the story. Non-canon warning : Non-canonical information ends here. Zeldapedia Explore. Characters Enemies Items Locations.
