Why two games in one thread you ask?
These two games are interlinked by a special password system.
Once you beat the game, you are given a special password.
That password can now be used on the other game you didn't beaten to start a special version of the new file that not only add more content in the game, but also extends the game with an addition intro sequence, extra dungeons, and the true final boss. This in turn gives a special ending you get for beating it with using this special password.
The catch of it all is that you are given a preset name(which was the name used for the completed "other game"). But on the flip side, you are given an extra heart, you get the sword right off the bat, and where you would normally get the sword is a new dungeon altogether.
Oracle of Ages Uses time travel. Oracle of Seasons let you use the seasons at will
Plot and Story of Seasons:(Taken From Wikipedia)
Seasons begins as the Triforce calls out to Link from within Hyrule Castle. Link approaches it, and is transported to a dark forest where he encounters a traveling group led by a dancer named Din. After Din welcomes Link to Holodrum, the sky becomes covered in black clouds. A voice from the clouds calls Din the Oracle of Seasons and refers to himself as Onox, General Darkness. A funnel cloud drops from the sky, taking Din into its dark heights. As the tornado dissipates, the seasons of Holodrum fall into disarray and change rapidly.
Din's attendant, Impa, tells Link that they were headed for Hyrule; she instructs him to see the Maku Tree in Horon Village, the capital of Holodrum. Link finds a sword in a cave and makes his way to the tree. The Maku Tree tells Link he will need the eight Essences of Nature and gives him the Gnarled Key, which unlocks the dungeon holding the first Essence. Link retrieves the eight Essences, hidden in eight dungeons throughout Holodrum and Subrosia, and brings them to the Maku Tree. The Maku Tree uses them to create a Huge Maku Seed, a sacred seed that cleanses evil, which allows Link to enter Onox's castle. Link enters the castle and defeats Onox. He rescues Din, who tells him that he is now a true hero and must face a new trial soon(That new trial is the special password mode).Twinrova, watching the scene remotely, states that the Flame of Destruction has been powered by the havoc Onox has wrought.
Plot and Story from Oracle of Ages: (Taken from wikipedia)
As with Seasons, the Triforce calls out to Link. Link is transported to a forest in the land of Labrynna, where he hears screaming. In a clearing, Link finds a woman encircled by monsters. When the monsters see Link, they scatter in all directions. The woman is Princess Zelda's nurse, Impa, who asks Link to help her find a singer in the forest. Continuing through the forest, the two find Nayru, a young woman with blue hair singing on a tree stump, surrounded by forest creatures. A shadow emerges from Impa and reveals itself as Veran, Sorceress of Shadows. Veran soars into Nayru's body and possesses her. Nayru was the Oracle of Ages; her abduction causes a disruption in the time flow of Labrynna.
Link receives a sword from Impa and makes his way to the Maku Tree in Lynna City, the capital of Labrynna. The Maku Tree is killed in the past on Veran's orders; Link uses a time portal to travel to the past to prevent this. The Maku Tree tells Link he will need the eight Essences of Time to defeat Veran. Link sets out to retrieve the eight Essences, hidden in eight dungeons throughout Labrynna's past and present. After getting the sixth Essence, Link is told he has the opportunity to save Nayru. He invades Queen Ambi's castle and removes Veran's spirit from Nayru, but Veran then possesses Queen Ambi. Link gathers the remaining Essences and brings them to the Maku Tree, who uses them to create a Huge Maku Seed that allows Link to enter Veran's Black Tower. Link ascends the tower and defeats Veran. He rescues Queen Ambi, and Nayru tells him that all has returned to normal.(The following is when you start a file with the special password) Twinrova, watching the scene remotely, states that Veran has lit the Flame of Sorrow.
These two games hold some elements and guest characters from Ocarina of Time so there is some added fun trying to find them all.
Anyway, feel free to share your own passwords so we can share in the extra fun stuff. I'll share mine once I find my GBA so I can reobtain the password(It's already a completed file, I just have to grab the password)
To help for visuals, either screen cap or write down your passwords.
If you choose to write them down, place each letter and symbol in brackets. You only need to write down the word. That way, we will be able to read it better than trying to do some kind of combination of symbols.(Unless you know the trick on how to actually make the correct symbol appear with one key stroke). Plus, it will be cleaner to read out.
Example: [Left Arrow] [Square] [Club]
Without any further ado, feel free to talk about whatever regarding this game. Even tricks, hints, and asking for advice.
