STORYLINE (Oracle of Ages): Link awoke one day to find himself deep in a strange forest. As he started to walk through the woods, he heard cries for help coming from just up ahead of him. Link hurried toward the voice, only to find a group of monsters surrounding the woman who was screaming. When the monsters saw Link, they immediately fled. The woman who was being attacked was none other than Impa, nurse to Hyrule's Princess Zelda. Impa said she had come to the forest to search for a singer named Nayru. "Can't you help me look?" Impa asked. Despite the strange look she gave him, Link could not refuse her request. Together they found a large stone with a Triforce on it. Naturally, Link moved the stone, but Impa wouldn't so much as lay a hand on it. As they traveled even deeper into the forest, they found a young woman singing. Invited to sit by the group of animals that listened to the girl's song, Link joined in the circle and let the beautiful song fill his ears and penetrate his heart. This was surely Nayru, the singer Impa was searching for. Just then, Impa erupted in a cackling laugh. "Ah ha ha ha ha ha!" A darkness surrounded Impa, and a frightening shadow lifted from her body. "Nayru! Oracle of Ages! I, Veran, Sorceress of Shadows, shall make you my own!" The shadow that called itself Veran began swooping about the forest before flying straight into the body of the frightened singer. A blinding light shone forth from Nayru's body. When Link's eyes had grown used to the light, he realized that Nayru looked very strange. Her face seemed veiled in shadow, and her bright smile had vanished. A piercing, evil gaze had replaced it. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" "Now the power of the Oracle of Ages is mine! I can travel through time at will! Now a new age shall begin-an age of shadows!" And with that, Veran and Nayru vanished. Nayru was actually the Oracle of Ages who controlled time in this land of Labrynna. When the oracle was kidnapped, the flow of time in Labrynna was distorted, and strange things began to happen. Before vanishin, Veran said, "When the past changes, so does the present." Her plan was to travel to the past and gather power from the sorrows of the people of Labrynna so that she could create her age of shadows. Will Link be able to free Nayru from Veran's evil clutches? Such is the quest that Link must now undertake. (Oracle of Seasons): One day in Hyrule, a strange force drew Link deep within Hyrule castle, where he found the Triforce resting, glittering brilliantly as it awaited him. "Link... Link... Accept the quest of the Triforce!" Suddenly, Link was enveloped in a circle of light, and the next moment, he vanished. When Link awoke, he found himself in a forest he had never seen. Confused, he looked around blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings. He heard pleasant music and laughing voices echoing from deep within the woods. Link followed the inviting voices until he came upon a traveling troupe of actors. He was immediately struck by the beauty of a young woman who was dancing about in circles. When the girl noticed Link, she smiled brightly and called to him. "Welcome to Holodrum. I am Din, the dancer," she said with glee. "Would you like to dance with me? Don't be shy. It will be more fun if we dance together." She took him by the hand, and he reluctantly began to dance. Unfortunately, this blissful moment did not last long. The sky suddenly went dark, and there was a loud crashof thunder, followed by a resounding, thunderous voice. "I've found you, Din! You can't deceive me by disguising yourself as a dancer. I am Onox, General of Darkness! Now reveal yourself, Oracle of Seasons!" Then a great tornado dropped from the sky and drew near Din, as if to engulf her. "Help me, Link!" she cried. Link was blown back by the tornado as he struggled against its awesome force, and Din was swept away in the wind... And then strange things began to happen throughout the land. When Onox carried off the Oracle of Seasons from the land of Holodrum, the seasons fell into chaos and the land was deprived of the bountiful gifts of nature. Life was slowly being drained from the land, and all living things began to wither. And so Onox set in motion his plan to gather the power from the withering land and create a world of total darkness. Will Link be able to rescue Din from the hand of evil, the General of Darkness? Such is the quest Link must undertake. COMMENTS: The Oracle games are quite possibly the most difficult to complete 100% in the entire Zelda series. What makes it so complex is not only the 64 rings to collect in both versions, but also the interplay you must do between OoA and OoS. This is the way it works: When you beat OoA, for example, you get a password. Input that password when starting a new game in OoS, and you begin a password game. In a password game, there are a few differences between it and a "normal" game. This is the most important difference: In password games, new people will exist in the game for you to talk to that wouldn't be there in a "normal" game. Talk to these people to get passwords. For each password you get, there is a corresponding person you talk to in the opposite OoA game that appears after beating the final boss in that game; give that person the password, and they give you an upgrade and another password. To also get that upgrade in OoS, take the password the second person gives you and tell it to Farore inside the Maku Tree of the OoS. As far as ring transfers go, talk to the red snake inside the ring shop in one version; he gives you a password. Go to the other Oracle game and give this password to the red snake inside the ring shop of that version, and it "transfers" all the rings you collected from the first Oracle game to the second one. You don't lose any rings by transferring; you keep the rings in the first Oracle game and "copies" of those rings are sent to the second Oracle game. No actual link cables are required! Collecting rings is the crux of finishing the Oracle games 100%. Throughout the quest, you may find rings in treasure boxes in hidden locations. All of those locations are marked in the list. However, most of the time you'll be collecting rings off of Gasha Nuts or Maple the witch. If you're new to the game, it's best to wait until you've explored most of the map (in a "normal" game you can still traverse the world and get more rings after beating the final boss, but after beating the final boss in a password game, it's over and no more progress can be made) before doing a massive ring hunt. The rings and Heart Pieces you get ONLY from Maple or the Gasha Seeds and the bonus rings Vasu gives you are listed in the Extras section at the very end of both checklists; they obviously do not have to be gotten at the end, they were simply listed there because the process of collecting of them is completely random. There are a couple tricks to quick ring collection from Maple. The first is encountering Maple as many times as possible. In OoA, go to the base of the Rolling Ridge right in front of the Goron Dance in the present, and walk along the grassy path to opposite sides of the mountain. There are tons of enemies there, and Maple will show up very quickly when you do this. In OoS, beat up the Like-Likes around Lost Woods. Also, to halve the number of enemies you must defeat to encounter Maple (15 instead of 30), wear the Maple's Ring when doing this. Then, when Maple appears on screen, have the Pegasus Seeds ready so if you see a ring pop out you can run straight for it! This guide shows the general location of all the hidden Gasha Seeds. In addition to these, there are also Gasha Seeds that you can buy at the local town shops for 300 rupees each. There are also a couple hidden shops in Lynna Village and Horon Village where you can buy more Gasha Seeds and rings. Throughout the game you want to keep a constant flow of Gasha Seeds coming into your inventory then out into the soil patches around the world so you can keep getting more rings. In OoA, the easiest way to get massive Gasha Seeds is by doing the Goron Dance in the present and getting 6-7 correct on the Gold stage. In OoS, it's more difficult to find Gasha Seeds and you might want to stick with Maple hunting or the treasure game in Horon Village. Gasha Seeds, of course, don't do any good to you if you can't find any soil patches! There are at least 15 patches scattered around both Holodrum and Labyrnna (16 in a password game). Use the Discovery Ring, which lets you know when a patch is on-screen. To see the specific locations of the patches, check below the 'Items to Get' list for each section. In OoA, there are two dimensions: the past and the present. You will be able to travel more easily between the dimensions as you progress through the game and learn more tunes through your harp. There are quite a few puzzles that have you altering things in the past that affect the present. In OoS, there are two "worlds": The overworld map, substantially larger than OoA's, and a small world called Subrosia that you access by way of vortexes from the overworld. There are also four seasons that cause minor but important changes to the overworld. In winter, the lakes freeze and snow piles up; in spring, certain rocks change to flowers; in summer, the lakes dry up and vines grow; and in autumn, mushrooms are ripe for picking. ==Oracle of Ages Quest== a.

Skull Dungeon Get Switch Hook Defeat Eyesoar Get Burning Flame and Heart Dungeon notes: The difficulty of dungeons continues to rise dramatically, with this dungeon introducing the important Switch Hook item. This works like a basic hookshot; if Link switches with a heavy object like a diamond, however, the object does not disappear and can be maneuvered onto switches. You will also encounter tile-filling rooms, in which you must step on all the tiles once to make a chest appear. Follow the arrows in the guide to complete the puzzles. The environment is more dangerous than the actual enemies; always be cautious around the many lava pits.

Crown Dungeon Get Cane of Somaria Defeat Smog Get Sacred Soil and Heart Dungeon notes: The Crown Dungeon is a labyrinth of staircases and keys, basically divided into a left and right half. Get all the keys from the left side of the dungeon before going to the other side, and the dungeon will be a lot simpler. The 'theme' here is many crystal switch and Cane of Somaria puzzles. The Cane of Somaria creates blocks, which you use to put onto switches or prevent other blocks from moving. There are a couple rooms where statues move together when you push only one; use the cane to stop one of them from moving. The mini-boss here comes from Link's Awakening: avoid the ball and throw it back on the creature to damage it. The boss Smog is the trickiest foe yet: you must create blocks to alter the little cloud's paths and make them collide into each other. When all two or three clouds have collided, slice up the big smog that appears. If you can do that four times, you will defeat the boss. Step on the switch in the room if you need to reset the clouds.

Mermaid's Cave Get Gasha Seed Get Mermaid Suit Defeat Octogon Get Bereft Peak and Heart Dungeon notes: The sixth and seventh dungeons of OoA are long, confusing water-themed temples. Like the Spirit Temple in OoT, Link must travel through time to complete the dungeon: first, enter in the past to make the main part of the dungeon accessible in the present; then, enter in the present to find the Mermaid Suit and Boss Key; and return again in the past and use the Mermaid Suit to get to the boss. The Mermaid Suit is a very important item, because it allows Link to dive into the deep sea water found in the overworld and latter dungeons. Link can now sink down into the true depths of the ocean to access more secrets in the game. Unfortunately, Link's only real attack while in this form is to attack with the Seed Shooter, so be stocked up before diving under. The mini-boss guarding the suit is simply defeated by jump-slashing him with the sword. The boss can be tough to survive against; he shoots fireballs that fall and burst out in many directions. Wait until he turns to shoot at you, then slash or shoot him up. When he sticks his head underwater, slash the eye as it circles around the platform, and don't dive into the water!

Jabu Jabu's Belly Get 2 Gasha Seeds Get Long Hook Get Like-Like Ring Defeat Plasmarine Get Rolling Sea and Heart Dungeon notes: The second water dungeon of the game is similar to the Water Temple of OoT due to the water-level puzzles inside. The first thing you may notice is that most of the dungeon is underwater; holes and pits have no effect on Mermaid Link. In the water-switch room on the 3rd floor, the red switch lowers the water to the bottom, the right-hand blue switch raises the water back to the 1st floor, and the left-hand blue switch raises the water to the 2nd floor. The main item of importance is the Long Hook, which is a simple upgrade to the Switch Hook that reaches farther. Raising and lowering the water level creates hook-switch-able islands throughout the dungeon. The higher the water level, the more rooms are accessible, because Link can go up and down levels through openings in the floor. To defeat the mini-boss, shoot Scent Seeds at it to shrink it, and slice it up with the sword. The boss is fairly simple as well: After it shoots a beam at you, hook-switch it and it will change colors and take damage from the beam. Repeat until it dies. To the compass: - Go west, hook-switch the diamonds in front of the four statues, and get the key. - Go back east, then north, and kill the enemies to get the compass.

Dancing Dragon Dungeon Get Slingshot Defeat Gohma Get Soothing Rain and Heart Dungeon notes: This dungeon has little to do with dragons, but is mostly about mine carts and seed-shooting. Hit the switches to change the course of the track and access new rooms. Later on in the dungeon, the switches are out of reach for your sword, but when Link obtains the Slingshot, he can shoot them from a distance. The Slingshot shoots all five types of seeds; usually, the Ember Seeds for lighting torches and the Scent Seeds for hitting objects or enemies. To defeat the mini-boss, light the two torches in the middle first, then attack the ghost with the shadow under it to damage him. Repeat that until he dies. The boss is a more dangerous version of the Gohma enemy found in many Zelda games. Attack its claw with your sword until it falls off, then shoot at its eye when it opens up with your Slingshot.

Unicorn's Cave Get Magnetic Gloves Defeat Digdogger Get Nurturing Warmth and Heart Dungeon notes: The Unicorn's Cave is a fairly long, difficult dungeon that introduces a very useful new item: The Magnetic Gloves. These gloves serve a variety of purposes: They push and pull the magnetic balls scattered around the dungeon; using a magnetic stone, they can repel or pull Link across big gaps (or push and pull him up and down in a side-scrolling passage); and using a magnetic revolving block, Link can attach to it, then swing around to the other side and quickly switch to be repelled off at a different direction. A couple of times, you must make a ball appear from one side of the room, then come back from another side to use it to get to the next room. Also, there are certain ball-shaped enemies that you must use the glove to pull towards you, then strike with your sword. To defeat the mini-boss tiger, just slash its tail with the sword and avoid its lunges.

Ancient Ruins Get L-2 Magical Boomerang Defeat Manhandla Get Blowing Wind and Heart Dungeon notes: These ruins are big, dangerous, and mind-bending, and it will take a lot of effort to get through it. On the first floor is a long-winded spinner puzzle that spans across nearly all the 1F rooms. This dungeon combines many of the puzzle elements you've seen before in your quest, and it's also full of annoying, damaging enemies. Late in the dungeon you will find the Magical Boomerang; to use it, hold down the button for the Boomerang and you can change its direction as it flies through the air, to hit otherwise unreachable objects. It can also serve as a useful long-distance weapon against many enemies. Vire, the mini-boss, is easy: charge up a spin attack and unleash it when he charges at you. When he splits into small bats, jump-attack them to finish them off. Manhandla is another annoyingly difficult boss; first, use the Boomerang to damage the four heads, while jumping to avoid the fireballs.

They team up to battle you together as the mini-boss battle: to defeat them, attack them with charged sword attacks, and keep re-lighting the candles so they don't become extinguished. With the L-2 Roc's Cape, you can leap much farther than you could before- up to 4 tiles, using Pegasus Seeds.
