Editorial Review: Product Description: Simultaneously released with Oracle of Seasons, this second Capcom-developed Zelda game is widely regarded as the more difficult of the two adventures, Oracle of Ages sees Link embark on a similar quest to that in Oracle of Seasons, in that he must rescue a beautiful woman from the clutches of an unspeakable evil. Link's adventure begins when he awakens in a strange forest deep within the land of Labrynna. By using the Harp of Ages, Link is able to transcend the very fabric of time, allowing him to jump between the past and present as the need arises. Complete the adventure to receive a password that can be used in Oracle of Seasons Amazon.com Review: One of two new Zelda games for the Game Boy Color, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is geared towards the cerebral gamer, with its heavy focus on puzzle solving. The Triforce has alerted Link to trouble in the land of Labrynna, where the evil sorceress Veran has possessed Nayru, the Oracle of Ages. Veran travels back in time, setting up events that lead to a world where evil dominates. It's up to you to help Link stop Veran and set things straight. Game mechanics and menus are similar to those found in Link's Awakening, also for the Game Boy. As in almost every Zelda game, you have to traverse eight dungeons and find eight key items. The harp of time is vital to your quest--it's required to manipulate events and stop Veran's rewriting of history. Although this game is extremely enjoyable on its own, you'll want to use it in conjunction with its sister title: Oracle of Seasons. After you complete one game, you'll be given a password that lets you begin with all your items, statistics, and progress intact in the other. Certain characters will appear only by playing both games. By using a link cable, players can trade items. Game Boy Advance users will find a store that's exclusive to them. While this is an excellent game, it might be too complicated for younger gamers or those looking for mindless fun. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros:
Amazon.com Product Description: One of the most highly esteemed digital adventures is back on your Game Boy Color console in two new games: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Both are independent games, but when they're linked between two Game Boy Color consoles via the separately sold Game Link cable, players can share items, uncover story elements, and unlock hidden areas in each game. Using the Harp of Ages, Link must travel through time and space to save Nayru, the eponymous prophet in Oracle of Ages, who's been kidnapped by the evil sorceress Veran. By learning new melodies to play on the harp, players will travel to the past and affect changes in the present to solve the game's varied puzzles. In Oracle of Seasons, players help Link embark on a quest to recover the Essences of Nature. To do so, he must first find the Rod of Seasons, a magical item that lets Link transform the landscape into the season of his choice, helping him overcome obstacles and solve puzzles. Ricky the kangaroo, Moosh the winged bear, and Dimitri the dodongo accompany Link on this adventure. Average Rating:
 Rating: - One of the best games I've ever playedDamn, that's a good game! I played every Zelda between Link to the Past and Twilight Princess, and I think that given the capabilities of the console it's on, this game is the best one. The story is one of the best in the series with progressive developments, twists and great character interaction. Although you'd think it would be less epic because it is not set in Hyrule, it actually feels equally epic. Time traveling (or traveling between one world to another--an aspect of almost every Zelda ... Read More Rating: - Oracle of Ages ReviewThis is possibly one of the hardest Zelda games you will ever come across (of course Legend of Zelda and Link's Awakening are the other 2 Zelda's that are more difficult). The game is part of a 2 part game where you will need Oracles of Season to *complete* the game (you will get a ending for beating either Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Season by itself but you will not get the best ending without having both games). Also, unlike the pokemon series (which had Red and Blue versions which was the exact ... Read More Rating: - Probably my favorite of the 2It's strange reviewing Oracle of Ages since, fundamentally, it's the same as Seasons. Same gameplay style, graphical quality and a theme to the puzzles but in the end these games are like one large story cut in half. But at times I tend to be biased towards the series since it's probably my favorite game series period not just in gameplay-wise but since I've never played a Zelda that I didn't either love or at least like(don't even think about suggesting those CD-I ones) and Ages is in the love group....sounded ... Read More Rating: - A Zelda All StarI love this game. It has the best story line. Not only that Zelda games should be made on Nintendo systems. I think they should be made on PS2 also. Rating: - Best game everThis game is awesome beyond all of the zelda series. It has a excellent story line and is perfect,. |
