This game is so good. The creators of this game are brilliant. At first when I started playing Oracle of Ages I didn't think it was too special and I thought it was too easy. I thought Seasons was much better and cooler. But I've started playing Oracle of Ages and it is definitely harder than I thought. I just finished the second level and it was pretty hard. The plot is awesome too. Veran, an evil witch is trying to take over Labrynna. She wants to make Labrynna go haywire by changing past events so that people in the present are affected. She possesses Nayru, the Oracle of Ages to go through time and change things. Link has to collect the 8 Essences of Time, save Nayru and defeat Veran. But it's not the end. If you beat both Ages and Seasons than you can link them together with the link cable and fight Ganon to save Princess Zelda. I think this is awesome. All I have now is three words for you: BUY THIS NOW!!!

Not as enjoyable as Seasons, but still good

Like the title says, this game isn't quite as good as its companion The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, nor is either of them magic in quite the same way Link's Awakening was, but it's still worth playing, especially as part of the pair. Link one again plays time traveler, using a harp and 3 different melodies to transport himself between the past and future of Labrynna, a land where he has been sent by the Triforce to save the missing Oracle of Ages. As he journeys through the similar but different landscapes of the 2 time periods, he will meet new friends and enemies, and face mindbending puzzles and challenging dungeons on his way to stop Veran, Sorceress of Shadows. The biggest problem with this game is that sometimes the challenge becomes frustrating, with no way to ease up on the level difficulty. Redeeming features inclue interesting people, and the collectible and very useful magic Rings. In addtion, the game connects with Seasons for a continuing double-length adventure leading up to the ultimate battle with an old foe. All in all, it's more than worth the price.

Just as good as Oracle of Seasons

I was very enthusiastic about Oracle of Seasons, as you can tell by reading my review of it. I am happy to say that this game is just as good. My personal preferance of the two is Seasons, and if you can only buy one, I would recommend that. However, it is well worth it to buy both. Why, you say? Because of the incredible link system!! Nintendo has found an awesome way to make playing both games a very rich experience. The second game you play actually continues the first one, and links back to it often via story elements, characters, and, most importantly, secrets. These are codes allowing you to get great things in both games!! Additionally, these games are both totally enjoyable to play. The gameplay is engaging and fun. I highly recommend both of these games. Ages is more puzzle-oriented than Seasons - often things are more complicated than they seem, and you need to solve puzzles to get to levels and such. They are two of the best Game Boy games ever made and will definitely please you!!

One of the Greatest Zelda games Yet

This game is great! Oracle of Ages has many puzzles and frustrating parts, but its a very fun game to play. I would spend hours on this game. If my family was going on a trip, this is the first game I usually pull out of my pouch. I would only reccomend this game to serious gamers, AS THE PUZZLES ARE VERY HARD! If you tend to want less puzzles, go with seasons. But I reccomend this game to any zelda fan. At the end of the game you also get a password to continue playing in seasons and get new Items. Overall, This game is one of the best games for GBC.

ZELDA ROCKS

I was amazed even in the begining movie and part of the game. I would highly recomend this game to anyone I know. This is by far the best Zelda gameI've ever played, and I've played them all! This game doesn't even dersirve 5 stars, more like 10. But 5 is as high as it goes and so you get the picture. Great game...

An absolutely magnificent game.

This game is truly amazing. It has a very well-thought plot. Nintendo obviously cared about the quality of this game. This game is a whole new chapter in the Zelda series. In it, our hero Link must save Nayru, the Oracle of Ages. She can control time to her will, an ability sought by the evil Veran, the Sorceress of Shadows. If you are considering buying this for yourself or your child, this game is one that requires some brainpower. It's very engaging. You'll come back for more long after you're finished. The replat value comes from the fact that you can explore two different worlds that connect in dynamic ways that you'll love.

I personally think Nintendo enjoyed making this game more than Oracle of Seasons. Their past games have involved either time travel or two different worlds to explore. This game is more like the later titles in the Zelda series, especially A Link To The Past, Majora's Mask and Ocarina Of Time. And it's worked every time! This game is SO much more involved than Link's Awakening. Link's Awakening seemed so shallow, but this game is deep. If you buy only one game of the Oracles games, buy this one. It's magnificent!

Great game......

I love this game. It has levle 1-3 swords, and sheilds, tons of fruit weapons, bombs (about 100), cool powers, and some magic harp that allowes you to go back an forth through time (you go through time alot more than you do in the ocerana of time). Anyway this game is the biggest must have of the seasons. and i highly suggest you buy it.

Trust me. You want this game.

Basically, this game (and it's sister game, seasons) are the grand finale for GBC. And this is definetley going to be one of the games it's remembered for. It has tons of new enemies, puzzles (many of them are understandably more Capcom-style frustrating puzzles: buy a guide) and a totally new play twist: Past and present. If link changes events in the past, the present changes. For example, before link saves Symmetry City in the past, all that remain are ruins in the present. If Symmetry city DID get saved, then its there, in one piece in the present. Simple there, but once you get to the mermaid dungeon, it gets much more complicated with the time game. The only problem is that you often have to repeat a difficult puzzle because you messed up when you were almost through it.
