The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (Wessel)

Non-Canon Information

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages was the basis for a multi-ending adventure book. Despite some small differences to the story, it was very much the same as the game.

The book is very short, and skims over many events in the game, dealing with only four dungeons out of eight, the freeing of Nayru and the final battle against Veran. The skipped dungeons are mentioned, however.

Despite being based on a canon game, the books mentioned are generally considered non-canon

Differences

The game and book, although based on the same adventure, differed in places.

• Link speaks quite frequently, like in the manga. He also seems to have a mean streak, laughing at the Tokay who eat the Ember Seeds.
• Blue Stalfos is called Death Stalfos.
• The Maku Tree is the one who informs Link of the Tune of Ages.
• Depending on the reader's choice, Ancient Tomb may become the seventh dungeon, while Jabu-Jabu's Belly may become the eighth.
• The Maku Tree does know the location of Ancient tomb, unlike in the game.
• The Maku Tree is the only guardian of Labrynna, and not Nayru.
• Veran leaves only after the Maku Tree has dissapeared. This may be a continuity error.
• The Maku Tree knows that the Rolling Sea is inside Jabu-Jabu, whereas she does not in-game, only that it is inside a big fish.

Trivia

• In the book, Moosh is the animal companion which Link meets.
