The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Review by Poogie
"The best GBC game ever..."
To start this is by far the best game on the Game Boy Color.It is even better on the Game Boy Advance due to new secrets. If you played Link's Awakening for the GBC then you won't be disappointed. This game is even better when linked to Legend of Zelda:Oracle of Seasons.The password system is simply amazing. After you complete one game you get a password to go to the other game.
Storyline:10/10
It begins with Link accepting a quest sent by the Triforce. Impa,Zelda's helper, is trapped by monsters when Link saves her.They meet Nayru and and then a witch,Veran, takes control of Nayru. With the innovative story and the chance to go through time.I was deeply involved in this game for hours.
Gameplay:10/10
The same battle system from LA.Very easy controls with the a and b buttons as weapons,select as the map, and start brings up the inventory. The weapons you get are incredible and you never thought could be a weapon like the seed shooter or the boomerang.
Graphics:10/10
the graphics are the best I have ever seen on the GBC. You will never see better graphics on the GBC.PERIOD.
Music:10/10
Some new music livens up the mood of places and some classic music from other Zelda's.Good music for the game The dungeon music is incredible and sets the mood for gameplay.
Replay Value:10/10
You'll never want to put it down. After you beat it you'll want to play it over and over. It is truly addicting.
Rent or Buy?
You'll definitely want to buy this game it is challenging and exciting. Don't rent it,it is a waste of $7.00. With that money you only need $23.00 more until you have the greatest game ever.
Challenge:10/10
This is way more challenging than any of the other Legend of Zelda games. It has more puzzles than Legend of Zelda:Oracle of Seasons. While Seasons is more action based with harder enemies Ages is definitely more puzzle based and easier bosses. There are more secrets throughout the game that need time and patience to complete. Sometimes the puzzles can get frustrating especially at the end when you need to go from past to present and vice versa. If this is your first time playing you may struggle at times like I did at first. The final boss in Ages is difficult compared to different dungeon bosses. Just when you think its the ending it really isn't.
Overall:10/10
The beat game ever.PERIOD.
