The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Zora Seas and Jabu-Jabu's Belly

The will tell you that  left, so now is the time to save.

Before the next quest


Now that you have the Mermaid Suit, you can explore the sea bottom around Crescent Island.

During Ambi's age there is a cave in the south-west. Go down to the end and dive in to bypass the blockade and surface on the other side and enter the cave. Talk to the to receive the L-2  Iron Shield (in a linked game, if you owned the Iron Shield already, you will get the L-3  Mirror Shield instead).

During Zelda's age, there is a passage under the north coast of Crescent Island. This is a small maze, so most of the passages are dead-ends. Swim following one wall (e.g. clockwise keeping to the "external" side), and you will eventually reach a cave. Open the chest inside to receive the last Piece of Heart (last one except if you still have to get one from Gasha trees or Maple).

Ambi's Palace
Return to Ambi's age and go to. You will meet again at the palace entrance, and he tells you of a secret path to the palace, since the front door is packed with guards. You need to push four buttons in each corner of the palace garden, but you should hide from the line of sight of the Palace Guards, otherwise they will throw you out of the palace and you have to sneak in again. Once all four buttons are pressed, go east where the four statues moved away to reveal the stairs behind the bush. Go down and dive in the small pond there. Swim through the underwater passage, emerge at the end and go upstairs.

You are now inside the palace. The s here won't throw you out, but instead attack you. Move one block away and go west first. After two rooms you can get the Gold Luck Ring. Go all the way east; if you need healing, then go north to find two Faeries, otherwise just climb upstairs and go through a few rooms. You will meet in the last one.

Boss: Veran
This boss needs some preparation. First, equip yourself with Switch Hook and Seed Shooter with Mystery Seeds. Veran is inside 's body, so you cannot attack her directly. You need to shoot her with Mystery Seeds from the Seed Shooter.

Veran will warp around and throw fireballs in all direction. Once you shoot her, then Veran will leave Nayru's body, but you need to drag her away from Nayru, so use Switch Hook on her spirit to move her away from Nayru. After that she will finally take her true form and you can attack her with the sword. Hit her once and she will return into Nayru's Body, so you need to repeat the steps twice to defeat her.

Intermission
Nayru returns to her sense and comes in, but Veran takes over her body and calls the Guards. Ralph arrives here, so Nayru brings the three of you to Zelda's age. Nayru teaches you the Tune of Ages, with which you can travel forth and back in time. The tells that one  is inside a Fish.

Climb up the Maku Tree to the roof and you can find two Gasha Seeds there. Do you have a Magic Potion in your inventory? If not, then you can buy one at 's shop for 300 Rupees, swipe one from Maple or get it from a Gasha tree.

Using the Tune of Ages, you can now reach two class-4 Gasha spots on Talus Peaks.

Zora Seas
Earlier on, on Talus Peaks, you had to switch between two different time ages to navigate the area. Now, in the Zora Seas, you have to switch between two time ages and also between surface and sea bottom.

Equip the Switch Hook on button A and the Tune of Ages on button B.

During Zelda's age, go to the South Shore and swim in the water to the south-west. Go onshore where you see a hut on an islet. The fisherwoman inside explains that ths islet is drifting from the west to the east through the centuries. Exit the hut and play the Tune of Ages on the west end.
 * Ambi's age: Swim west, then north on another islet and play the Tune of Ages there.
 * Zelda's age: Dive in and go east (south is a dead-end). Use the Switch Hook on the diamond and surface. Play the Tune of Ages on the isle.
 * Ambi's age: Go all the way west, then south and land on the next isle. Play the Tune of Ages just by the stairs or you'll be teleported back.
 * Zelda's age: Now dive, go south and use the Switch Hook on the diamond. Go west and you're in.

Zora Village


Four quick explorations of Zora Village, before you continue to the King's palace:
 * Zelda's age, surface: get Gale Seeds from the tree; a [[File:Zelda Oracles Ring 31.png]] Green Holy Ring from a chest to the north; you can also bomb a wall to enter the Zora graveyard.
 * Zelda's age, underwater: the Zora inhabitants give various information; of more immediate interest, a chest on the west side holds a [[File:Zelda Oracles Gasha Seed.png]] Gasha Seed.
 * Ambi's age, surface: in the south-west corner, plant a Gasha seed in a class-4 spot; then, get the Gale seeds to set a warp point.
 * Ambi's age, underwater: just talk to the several Zoras.

During Zelda's age, enter King Zora's palace. A lonely liar says that the king fell ill and died long ago, and that the key to Eyeglass library was lost. This is false, and his lie will be exposed soon. You can get 200 Rupees from the chest.

Travel back in time and enter the Zora palace again. Give the Magic Potion to, and he will heal up. The lie you heard is now exposed: King Zora never died during Ambi's age; in fact, return to Zelda's age, and you will see that the King is alive and well, and he confirms he has been alive for 400 years. The Zora liar now admits that the King owns the key. Talk to the Zora King, and he will give you the Library Key. If you save from the polluted seawater, then you'll receive the permission to enter inside it.

Eyeglass Library
Now that you are during Zelda's age, you can use some Gale Seeds, travel to Yoll Graveyard and buy another magic potion (otherwise, you can try your chance for with Maple or the Gasha trees).

Leave the Palace and go all the way to the east, until you reach the library. During both Zelda's and Ambi's age, the library is closed, but there is a keyhole during Ambi's age. Use the key and enter the library. The wise men inside guard some Faerie Powder, but they require a Book of Seals to reach it. They also talk about the Great Faerie and an Octorok in a nearby island.

Return to Zelda's age and, surprisingly, the Eyeglass Library is now open! People inside say that the was turned into an octorok centuries earlier, but some faerie powder broke the curse. Get the Book of Seals from the old man in the back room.

Now go back to Ambi's age and reenter the back room in the library. Place the Book of Seals on the pedestal. It gives you the first directions about how to walk in the darkness to the second book of seals; the Cane of Somaria can also help, if you are in doubt.

When you reach the old man, as a reward he gives you the Faerie Powder. Now return to the cursed Great Faerie and use the Faerie Powder on her to break her curse. She in turn will clean the Zora Seas from the pollution.

Return to 400 years in the future: surprisingly, the pollution was cleaned up while Link was away, and even more surprisingly, everybody thinks that it was you who did it! Thanks to this misunderstanding, King Zora gives his permission to enter. Leave the palace, go to the "temple" nearby and will open his mouth, so you can enter.

Before entering the dungeon, check the map (press select): a small area in the south-east of the Zora Seas is still unexplored. Start from Ambi's age and use the Tune of Ages there to obtain a Whimsical Ring from the chest.

In chronological order, some oddities become apparent:
 * 1) During Ambi's age, Link unlocks the library gate; later, the Faerie Queen cleans up the Zora seas.
 * 2) Sometimes during the 400 years in-between, the Zora Seas get polluted again, the library gate gets closed again, and the keyhole is destroyed.
 * 3) During Zelda's age, Link finds that the library gates are closed and there is no keyhole. He leaves for a little while, and when he returns the library is open and people are inside. Maybe Link came too early that day, just few minutes before the library opened following a regular work schedule?
 * 4) Still during Zelda's age, Link leaves for a short while, and when he returns, the polluted sea got cleaned again. Although Link did only the first cleaning, everybody cheers him up as if he did both.
