This article is about the game. For other uses, see Oracle of Ages (Disambiguation).

Template:Game The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is one of two The Legend of Zelda titles released for the Game Boy Color as part of Capcom's Template:OoX, 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."^[1] In anticipation of the upcoming release of the Game Boy Color's successor, the Game Boy Advance, the games exhibited special features (such as the Advance Shop) when played on the new handheld system.

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.^[2] The game is named after its central character, Nayru, Oracle of Ages, and the element that is manipulated by Link in the game—the Ages.

It was released for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in Japan on February 27, 2013,^[3] in North America, Europe and Australia on May 30, 2013,^[4]^[5]^[6] and in South Korea on April 20, 2016.^[7]arp 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 hs 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.

Oracle ofAges specifically was praised by IGN and Gamespot for its difficulty in terms of its challenging, "head-straching" puzzles. Gamespot also praised it for its superb use of the time-travel aspect in the flow of the game. Gaming Target praised the game of its meticulous attention to detail in terms of graphics, creating "one of the most beautiful and creative game worlds Link has ever had the pleasure to traverse."^[11]

Fan Reception

As can be seen by its user rating scores on IGN and Gamespot, Oracle of Ages was equally praised by fans as well as critics. It received a score of 9.1 at Gamespot and IGN alike,^[8]^[12] although the latter scores Oracle of Seasons slightly higher at 9.2.^[13]

Trivia

In both the chapter book and the Oracle of Ages manga by Akira Himekawa adaptations of the Oracle series games, Oracle of Ages is the second game in the sequence. This is also true for the timeline as presented in Hyrule Historia.
