The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is a The Legend of Zelda game for the Game Boy Color. It was developed by Capcom and Flagship. The game was released in tandem with The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons in 2001. The Oracle games make up the seventh and eighth installments of The Legend of Zelda series, and both are the first games of the main series that were not developed by Nintendo. The Oracle games are the last Game Boy Color games that Nintendo was directly involved with because of the Game Boy Advance's impending release at the time. Both games have unique features when played on a Game Boy Advance, which  would later be known for.

In many aspects, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is similar to The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. Both games utilize the same game engine, although The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is more puzzle-oriented than The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, which has action-focused gameplay. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is named after the Nayru, whose title is the Oracle of Ages. The game takes place in Labrynna, where Link is sent to rescue Nayru from being possessed by Veran and to restore the flow of time.

Both games can be interconnected through the Link System; after completing either game, the player can transfer their progress to the other game by either entering a password or by using a Game Boy Color-compatible. This is the only way for the player to achieve the true ending in each game.

In 2013, the Oracle games were released for the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console simultaneously.
