For the first time, I’m playing a linked game of Oracle of Ages.

I've never been the type to finish a mainline Zelda game, but the Oracle series holds an incredibly special place in my heart. Looking forward to this 🙂
2nd
I never played this game and I will gladly discover it along with your playthrough..
32:08 Farore is for more linked game codes.
Once you've completed the 1st game, the game world sets into the "post game" state, and spawns bunch of NPCs, that you need to give a code, from the newly created linked game save, that also spawns similar NPCs from the start. The code that is given after each back-and-forth interaction is then given to Farore.
There is a calculator for the Farore codes that you can look up if you don't want to do the NPC talk bits, but Farore wont "recognize" the code until you've advanced enough in the game. I guess it's to prevent super-cheesing the game.
These unlock stuff, like the 2-handed sword, homing bombs, 99-size seed and bomb pouch, Lv-3 sword, Lv-3 shield etc.
bombchu hype
Yeah i wouldnt bother much with the dungeon maps the last time i played this i lost 3~ hours to a crash because of the dungeon map screen
Ooh, Asprey, speaking of Zelda-inspired indie games, you might enjoy Tunic! I just finished it recently and I've been obsessed. It's got Zelda-style art and item system, but it's more soulslike in gameplay and story.
Will you try pokemon mystery dungeon randomizer? it will be fun to watch I think 🧸
I am going to be doing a little thing as a means of setting up the future of the game. This is an idea I had.
Level 1: “Is that a Power Bracelet? Nice. I heard that in the past, it used to be a Power Glove, but I guess time can also change design.” NPC 1. I will be doing this for all dungeons.
Level 2: “Be glad that you are over here. I heard that something is wrong far east from here. Something ominous.” NPC 2
Level 3: “Interesting how much has changed from the past to the present. For example, that area in the Graveyard used to be something else.” NPC 3
I still have this – brilliant game
I remember the first time I saw Moosh. I literally fell in love. He is just too adorable. ❤️ my twin sister is a huge Ricky fan though.
Thank you for playing through OoA! My sisters favorite game from our childhood ❤️
My all time favorite game. I even have the harp of ages tattood on my thigh. It's just so charming and holds such a special place in my heart.
"He's gonna take you back to the past…"
Glad we didn't need to wait for this Oracle for Ages. Been looking forward to this.
The boss keys in link's awakening were called nightmare keys because the bosses were called the wind waker's nightmares.
i like the detail of sabrossia having dark world trees and the past here having music from the older games
its okay to cheat on the goron dance.
Cool! Oracle of Ages is one of my favorite Zelda games
I know you likely have either heard this before, or already maybe have it planned, but if you're in the mood for something in the same vein as 2D Zeldas of this era, I cannot recommend Crusader of Centy for the Genesis enough.
nintendo wants link to hook up with fish and capcom a tree apparently.
"My wife lied to me" about the tree calling the Deku/Fairy Forest "Western Woods" was great.
There's a max of 15 heart containers in a non-password game and 16 in a password game. It's a bit weird though because the game makes it look like 14 is the max until you get the 15th so a lot of people think they lost a heart container(I know I did as a kid and it was only after a replay I noticed what happened).
2:48:13 Woulda been hilarious for Link to awaken his Persona after that boss battle.
about the animals:
in seasons you get ricky as default if yuou do nothing, moosh if you buy the flute in the shop or dimitri if you win the subrosian dance again (ofc all of this before getting ricky)
i don0t remember in ages though, but ricky was the only one remmeber you because you had his flute in seasons
Ages I bought first. I love it, but man some of those puzzles stumped me as a kid. It's my favorite game, and some of the scenes in the beginning made me feel bad because the villain kept on causing trouble and gaslighting me/Link.
