After the success of "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" on the Game Boy, Nintendo began to work on a sequel. That sequel was split into two games, one of them being "Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages" for the Game Boy Color in 2001. This game is notable for being one of the only Zelda games not created internally at Nintendo. This GBC title was created by Capcom. In "Oracle of Ages," players once again take on the role of the young, witty, and willful main character, Link. However, this adventure does not take place in Hyrule; instead, your quest is in Labrynna. When the evil spirit of Veran possesses Nayru, one of the goddesses, it's up to Link to save the day by traveling through time."Oracle of Ages" is similar to other core entries in the popular Legend of Zelda franchise. Link will navigate the world to find eight essences, which are the key to freeing Nayru. As you play through the title, you'll encounter weapons and items that will help you in your journey. In addition to classic items, such as rings like the Power Bracelet, there are also new items like the Cheval Rope. One new item, the Harp of Ages, is essential to the game's plot. With this item, Link can travel back to the past. For example, a dead tree in the present can be saved by going back to the past and curing its ailment. At first, Link can only use this item at specific time portals. However, later in the story, he can use any location to go in the past. Additionally, you can upgrade your items in "Oracle of Ages." By upgrading an item, you can use it to solve new puzzles and explore new areas. "Oracle of Ages" is heavy on the puzzles, putting an emphasis on them more than the action. Gamers will need to think first and fight later to win this title.This title was released at the same time as "Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons." The two games share functionality with each other.
