Target Carts is a Mini-Game in Oracle of Ages.[1]

Location and Rules

The game is located in eastern Rolling Ridge in the present and is run by the local Gorons. Target Carts costs 10 Rupees per play. Originally, a different game was found at this location,[1] called the Goron Shooting Gallery, which can be played in the past.

Once Link defeats Veran, Dr. Troy will appear at the Target Carts. He claims to be studying the Gorons and their games.[2]

To play the game, Link must have obtained the Seed Shooter. The object of the game is to try to hit all twelve Rupee-like crystals using the Seed Shooter while being pulled along a track in a Mine Cart.[3] If Link successfully destroys nine to eleven targets, he will win 20 Rupees.[4] A more special prize is obtained by destroying all twelve targets. The first time this is accomplished, Link will receive the Rock Brisket, which is a key Item in the obtention of the Old Mermaid Key. The Rock Brisket is required to enter the Mermaid's Cave, making it necessary for Link to get a perfect score at Target Carts at least once. If Link does it a second time, he has a random chance of receiving the Boomerang. Otherwise, the prize will either be Rupees or a Gasha Seed.

When playing the linked verison of Oracle of Seasons, Link will obtain a secret password that can be told to Dr. Troy in Oracle of Ages. After Link receives another perfect score at the game, the biologist will give Link the Bombchus.[how many?]
