Impa says: ''"Ralph is a descendant of Queen Ambi! Do you know what this means? Ralph lives now because Ambi lived in the past. If Ambi <u>is</u> [was] slain, Ralph <u>will never exist</u> [would have never been born]! I came to try to stop Ralph, but I couldn't! You're the only one who can save Ralph, and all of us, Link!"''
In other words, it is just impossible that Ambi gets killed, because Ralph is actually born! Right now, only Ralph's life is in danger, not Ambi's. Ralph is not going to sacrifice himself, it is just a useless suicide.

At the entrance of the Black Tower, Ralph rushes to kill Queen Ambi possessed by Veran in order to save Labrynna. Impa reveals that Ralph is a descendant of Ambi; then, Impa and the others reach a nonsensical conclusion.
On the contrary, the fact that Ralph is a descendant of Queen Ambi means that nobody killed her, and Ralph's attempt is doomed to failure. The birth of Ralph is proof that Queen Ambi was saved; it is 100% certain that Ralph will be unable to kill Ambi, but what about the opposite? Will Ralph survive?
The lower floors of the tower are just fighting arenas. <!-- In each room you will meet one monster type, in this order: '''ground floor:''' green {{zw|Zol}}s, blue {{zw|Octorok}}s, {{zw|Rope}}s, blue {{zw|Tektite}}s, blue {{zw|Piglin}}s; '''floor 1:''' {{zw|Shrouded Stalfos}}es, {{zw|Beamos}}, {{zw|Gibdo}}s, {{zw|Like-Like}}s, red {{zw|Darknut}}s; '''floor 2:''' red {{zw|Darknut}}s, blue {{zw|Darknut}}s, green {{zw|Wizzrobe}}s, blue {{zw|Darknut}}s, red {{zw|Wizzrobe}}s. --> At the end of this linear series of rooms, you need the Maku Seed and the eight Essences of Time to dispel the illusionary barrier and continue.
=== Mini-boss: Ambi-Veran ===
Next is a maze on two floors. From the entrance, take the stairs to the left. Follow the path until you have to make another choice: descend the stairs towards the center, not near the wall. Then, climb the closest staircase. Continue up and down, and keep to the center. You should eventually reach the Owl Statue, that gives a hint about the next puzzle. Backtrack just one staircase and proceed to the exit in the middle.

Ambi mocks Ralph pressing on his limited intelligence: "if you kill Ambi, you will disappear". Actually, impossible that Ambi gets killed, because 400 years later Ralph was actually born! Therefore, it is obvious that Ambi will survive Ralph's attack.
In the next room, follow the flame that starts behind Link (as the Owl Statue suggested). Proceed to the next terrace and then to the boss room.

In other words, it is impossible that Ambi gets killed, because Ralph is actually born! Right now, Ralph is doomed to fail beyond any logical doubt.

When Veran falls, the story continues with ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]''. On the contrary, if you already cleared that game and linked it to ''Oracle of Ages'', it is time to face the [[../Room of Rites/]].
