'''''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages''''' is one of two {{TLoZ|Series|-}} titles released for the [[Game Boy Color]] as part of Capcom's {{OoX}}, the other being {{OoS}}, both representing the seventh and eighth main installments of the series. Released near the end of the system's lifespan, ''Oracle of Ages'' and its counterpart were said to "send the Game Boy Color out with a bang."<ref>{{Cite web|quote= Nintendo is sending the Game Boy Color out with a bang by releasing not just one but two new Game Boy Zelda titles--Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages...|url= http://www.gamespot.com/gbc/rpg/legendofzeldaoracleos/review.html?tag=tabs;reviews|title= The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons Review|site= Gamespot}}</ref> In anticipation of the upcoming release of the Game Boy Color's successor, the [[Game Boy Advance]], the games exhibited special features (such as the [[Advance Shop]]) when played on the new handheld system.
After completing one of the two games, they can be linked to form a single, linear plot (as opposed to two parallel ones) with an alternate ending. [[Linked Game|Game-linking]] also unlocks extra content, such as new items.<ref>{{Cite book|quote=The games were complete adventures individually, but players also could link up the games and transfer secret items and information between them to unlock new items, abilities, and a hidden ending featuring Ganon!|book=Phantom Hourglass Official Game Guide|publisher=Prima Games|page=5}}</ref> The game is named after its central character, [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru, Oracle of Ages]], and the element that is manipulated by Link in the game—the Ages.
It was released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Virtual Console in Japan on February 27, 2013,<ref name="jp release"/> in North America, Europe and Australia on May 30, 2013,<ref name="nintendodirectna"/><ref name="nintendodirecteu"/><ref name="au release"/> and in South Korea on April 20, 2016.<ref name="Korean VC"/>[[Harp of Ages|arp of Ages]] in Nayru's house, Link was able to traverse time and search for the Essences throughout Labrynna, all the while correcting the damage Veran had caused to the land, such as in [[Symmetry Village]].
More than halfway into hs journey, Link finally got a chance to rescue Nayru from Veran's clutches, at [[Ambi's Palace]]. However, as soon as he did, Veran possessed [[Queen Ambi]]. Using her new authority, Veran was almost successful in capturing Nayru, Link and Ralph, but at the last second Nayru used her power to return them all to the present.

==Reception==

===Sales===
''OracAges'', or quite simply the [[Oracle Series]] in general, was very well received by critics and received mostly positive reviews. Both games received 9.2/10 ratings at Gamespot,<ref name="Gamespot OoA">[http://www.gamespot.com/gbc/adventure/legendofzeldaoracleofages/review.html?tag=tabs;reviews Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Review - Gamespot]</ref><ref name="Gamespot OoS">[http://www.gamespot.com/gbc/rpg/legendofzeldaoracleos/review.html?tag=tabs;reviews Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Review - Gamespot]</ref> and a 10 out of 10 rating of "Master''wer'' as being the fifth and fourth best games for [[Game Boy]]/Game Boy Color, respectively.<ref>[[Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power Magazine]] - Issue 231</ref>
''Oracle ofAges'' specifically was praised by IGN and Gamespot for its difficulty in terms of its challenging, "head-straching" puzzles. Gamespot also praised it for its superb use of the time-travel aspect in the flow of the game. Gaming Target praised the game of its meticulous attention to detail in terms of graphics, creating "one of the most beautiful and creative game worlds Link has ever had the pleasure to traverse."<ref>[http://www.gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=2411 Gaming Target - The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Review]</ref>
===Fan Reception===
As can be seen by its user rating scores on IGN and Gamespot, ''Oracle of Ages'' was equally praised by fans as well as critics. It received a score of 9.1 at Gamespot and IGN alike,<ref name="Gamespot OoA" /><ref name="IGN OoA">[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/016/016041.html The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Review - IGN]</ref> although the latter scores ''Oracle of Seasons'' slightly higher at 9.2.<ref name="IGN OoS">[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/166/166042p1.html The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Review - IGN]</ref>
==Trivia==
*In both the [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (Wessel)|chapter book]] and the {{OoA|Himekawa}} adaptations of the ''Oracle'' series games, ''Oracle of Ages'' is the second game in the sequence. This is also true for the timeline as presented in {{HH}}.
