Capcom's subsidiary Flagship developed two connected Zelda games for the Game Boy Color, and Oracle of Ages, released in 2001 with Oracle of Seasons, is the more puzzle-focused of the pair. Link arrives in the land of Labrynna after the Oracle of Ages, Nayru, is possessed by the sorceress Veran, who uses her power to twist the flow of time.
The Harp of Ages lets Link travel between the present and the past, and many puzzles depend on actions in one era changing the other, such as planting something in the past to reach a new area in the present. The dungeons are elaborate and lean heavily on block puzzles and switch logic. Linking with Oracle of Seasons is a big part of the design: finishing one game gives a password that begins the other as a linked game, which carries over items, adds story content, and unlocks the true final battle. Ring collecting, trading sequences, and side quests fill out a substantial adventure.
Tips for The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
If a puzzle in the present seems impossible, look for the matching spot in the past with the Harp of Ages.
Write down the password at the end; starting Oracle of Seasons as a linked game reveals the true ending.
