Interesting, but confusing.

This game plays well for those who have followed the Zelda Saga, however, for the few who purchased the game without having played the others, boss battles were extremely difficult because few hints are provided. It is suggested that this game is more puzzle based than the Seasons variant, and I agree. It was good enough that I played it all the way through, and the secret system it uses is interesting, and enough to warrent playing the other game to enjoy those rewards. I would be happier, though, if more clues were dropped here and there to make boss fights less of a shot in the dark to those of us who've never encountered them on other Zelda games.

Seriously Awesome!!!

Just as my title says, it's Seriously Awesome!!! I just love this game! It's full of everything that you could ever imagine. The game is: challenging, adeventurous, and, of course, fun! Although defeating the bosses may be difficult, it's a great game. I just LOVE THIS GAME!!!

You won't believe how many Zelda Games I have seen! It's like Zelda has been passed down from generation to generation. I got the Oracle of Ages and I wish I would get Oracle of Seasons and both of them will be twice the fun! I recommend this to serious gamers

-> wow, pretty cool game! ->

-> I just finished the game today -> Its a great game -> It totaly kicks Links Awakening's @?*! -> I'm begging my parents to get me the second one so I can use the secret -> Its really cool its not too hard but its definatly NOT too easy -> I love Zelda Games and this is probably the best one (actually two) yet -> (I really don't like the part where the Maku tree hits on you though -> its the only bad part of the game) <-

Great Game!

I loved this game. I have played it and Seasons about 10 times each. I liked this one better because of its emphasis on puzzles rather than fighting, but they are both wonderful. The game gets even better if you play it as a linked game. While playing a linked game, you can get upgrades, rings, and special items through secrets, and there are some plot changes and an extra dungeon at the end. All in all, Seasons and Ages are wonderful games!

Great RPG game

I enjoyed this game even more than Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. (It's a great game too)

At first you use specific portals to travel back and forth between past and present until you gain instruments that allow you to transport where you wish. Since I had already completed Oracle of Seasons, I was also able to learn secrects from Ages and use them in the other game. (I reccomend you purchase both games to get the most fun out of the games.)

You also play small games during your quest (like target carts). Animal friends assist you in your travels in this game as well.

You'll enjoy using a great number of weapons and tools - some different from Seasons.

I was happy to beat the game, but a little sad that my adventure my over. I'm ready for another Zelda game already.

I defintely reccommend buying this one.

Zelda lives on

Zelda lives on in this great game. Everything about is just wonderful, and I don't think you could add anything to it to make it better. This game does have a kind of a good storyline at first but it gets better as the game progresses and if you want the ultimate game get seasons to for some really cool things that wouldn't be available in a normal game. So if you want a game thats worth twice as much as it is get this.

Probably my favorite of the 2

It'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 cheesy to say but how else can I word it? Ages is excellent.

Story: Each game requires you save a princess and this time it turns out to be Nayru, Oracle of Ages. The one behind this is Veran and she intends to write history so Link, with the help of a mystical harp, has to stop Veran and if you play a linked game, beat the true masters behind it all. It's not exactly the deepest story but I didn't even care since I got wrapped up in it anyway.

Graphics: This is Game Boy Color but regardless there vibrant and colorful with certain locations looking great and really pushing what the GBC can pull off at the time. It's a minor nitpick but whereas the various seasons in its sister game where colorful and rich regardless if it was fall or spring, the different times here just look kinda...plain looking. But it helps differentiate the past and the present.

Sound/Music: Music is of course excellent and even if it came out of tiny speakers, they're still hummable and well-composed music. And of course you should know by now there's no voice acting to speak of since this is the GBC and a Zelda game no less.

Gameplay: In a way it's similar to Link to the Past where altering something in the past affects progression in the present. Go in the past and change something and next thing you know the present has a brand new thing you can use. While I love the season dynamic better, the time aspect is quite fun and even genius at times. One thing though: Ages is the more difficult and the reliance is more on the series' trademark puzzles rather than outright fighting so better do brain massages Mr Burns style if you're going to pass these brain busters.

The unique feature of these 2 games is in its password feature: beat one and you get a password. Load the other and input the password and NPC's from here will recognize you there and even make you do quests to get awesome items. Not to mention there's an additional ending to get if you beat both games using a password. One gripe is that you at times feel like you have to go back and forth and can't really switch games on the fly.

Odd to say but one reason I gravitated to Ages when I was younger was because Nayru was the hotter Oracle than Din was and I had to save this one. Strange no? But regardless overall this is probably my favorite even though the seasons changing is better than the time one. But still if you can track these down, definately pick them up.

great game

this is by far one of the best games that i have ever played. its better than tony hawk, madden, and spyro. it has tons of challenges and is very tough at some points. you may get frustrated at times. i know i did! and im only on the 3rd dungeon. theres this guy u gotta drop bombs on at the right time. its pretty complicated. i would suggest getting this game very much. and although i havent, you should also get seasons. and watch out for the holes in the ground. theyre tricky. ;)

Oracle of Ages Review

This 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 game but different pokemon included), the Oracle series are 2 completely different games. Oracle of Ages has a lot more puzzles and requires you to think a lot more in the dungeons. If you are not very familiar with RPG or Adventure games you will be stuck in a lot of spots (Oracle of Season is more action based and features less mind throbbing dungeons). Overall, Oracle of Ages is a great addition to the Zelda series (though I prefer Oracle of Season simply because I played that game before this game and had a more enjoyable time playing).

I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the Legend of Zelda series as it is simply too good to pass.

Note: This game is no longer produced and very rarely sold in Mint Condition so be prepared to pay a lot for it, otherwise be wary of used copies as this game was released around 2000 and the battery might be dying on some of the used copies.

2nd Note: This game can only be played on Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy SP (Game Boy Micro and DS cannot play this game)
