Another Piece of Heart is found here.

After coming out of the Wing Dungeon, leave the woods and go back towards Lynna Village. Take a detour: north from the forest and west of the village, jump over the hole using the Roc's Feather and head north. You can find a Soft Soil and a Heart Container.

Follow the path as north as possible. Lift the four stones with your Power Bracelet. Take out your Shovel and dig in the middle spot of the cross to reveal the level 4 Soft Soil. If you want, you can plant your Gasha Seed here.

Go down in on the left side and left. Enter the cave. Use your Roc's Feather and Power Bracelet to get the fifth Zelda Oracles Piece of Heart.png Piece of Heart. Beware: both darker floor tiles may collapse. Take the way on the left side back and out. Continue to Lynna Village.

Linked game: Ruul secret
(If you already cleared Oracle of Seasons and linked to this game)

During Zelda's age, visit the mayor in Lynna Village. His mother has a secret for the mayor in Horon Village. Switch back to Oracle of Seasons and visit the village mayor there. He will give you a Ring Box upgrade. Then, he will tell you another secret. Switch again to Oracle of Ages, go to Farore and tell her Ruul's secret: the Ring Box will be upgraded in this game, too.

If Link owned a single ring L-1 box, the upgrade changes it to a three-rings L-2 box; if he owned a L-2 box already, the upgrade changes it to a five-rings L-3 box.
Linked game: Temple secret
(If you already cleared Oracle of Seasons and linked to this game)

During Zelda's age, go back to the collapsed entrance of Wing Dungeon in the Faeries Woods. A great faerie is now there, and she will ask you to tell a secret to another faerie inside the Temple of Seasons, behind the fountain. Switch back to Oracle of Seasons and explore the Temple. The faerie there will give you a ring. Back in Horon Village, Vasu the Jeweler can reveal that it is the Heart Ring L-1. Ask a ring secret to the Red Snake. Switch again to Oracle of Ages, go to the Red Snake there and tell him the ring secret: the Heart Ring L-1 will be added to your collection in this game, too.

Crescent Island

Cheval's quest for a rope

Linked game: pirate secret
(If you already cleared Oracle of Seasons and linked to this game)
LZ7 seasons secret pirate.png

During Ambi's age, go to the Lynna coast and get to the extreme west. Jump over a hole using the Roc's feather. A girl there will ask you to tell a secret to a man who went to Holodrum. In Farore's book at the Hall of Secret, this is recorded as "pirate's secret". Switch back to Oracle of Seasons and look for the pirates. On the west coast, one of them says that one guy is missing. Go to Subrosia to the pirates' hideout. One of them will tell you a secret, but only if you hold exactly 777 ore chunks (777 is the lucky number in Japan). When you do so, he will give you a Bomb bag upgrade. Then, he will tell you another secret. Switch again to Oracle of Ages, go to Farore and tell her the pirate's secret: the Bomb Bag will be upgraded in this game, too.

If your bomb bag could hold 10 bombs, the upgrade allows to carry 30; if it could carry 30 already, now it can carry 50 bombs.
Ralph tells you about Cheval's rope.

From Lynna Village, go south to the coast. Two men live there: Rafton to the south-west and Cheval to the north-east. After you talk to the latter and leave, Ralph will pop in and direct you to Cheval's tomb in the future.

Go back to Lynna Village and to Zelda's age.

Meet Moosh in the Yoll Graveyard who is harassed by three Ghinis.
In the Yoll Graveyard, you'll get Zora Flippers...
...and Cheval's Rope.

Back to Zelda's age, go to Yoll Graveyard. Destroy the Ghinis, so then talk to Moosh. Get to the north-west corner of the graveyard. Use Moosh to get to the end of the path and push the tombstone there. Inside the grave, use the feather to jump over the water and the power bracelet to pull out the lever as far as possible. Jump back and go up the stairs to the Zelda Oracles Zoras Flippers.png Zora's Flippers quickly (you can stand between the stones there to see a funny way to lose a heart). Since you use the Zora's Flippers automatically, you just can jump into the water. Swim north and along the northern side of the cave. Eventually you'll get to stairs and the Zelda Oracles Cheval Rope.png Cheval Rope. Swim back and leave from the entrance. Lift the stone, jump over the hole and go south.

With the Zoras Flippers you can now visit Syrup Potion Shop in the Yoll Graveyard and buy Gasha Seed and Magic Potion for 300 Rupees each.

Now you can go back to the Lynna Cityand back to Ambi's age.

Rafton's quest for a map

Go to the south shore Explore the area west from Raftton's home (south of the tower). Thanks to the new Zora's flippers, you can cross the water. Use the shovel on the westernmost point after clearing the stones. You'll find another hidden Gasha soil, but it's a low level spot.

Visit Rafton and give him the rope from (his) future. He starts working to build a raft, and he asks you to find a map in the meantime. When you leave, you meet Ralph again, who gives a hint about maps.

Return to the to the time warp. Use the Harp of Ages to go back to Zelda's age.

Here, go to the entrance to the Yoll Graveyard again. Talk to the kangaroo there[1]. She says that her name is Ricky and that she has lost her boxing gloves near the tree on the shore. Go all the way south to the seaside tree. Dig up Zelda Oracles Rickys Glove.png Ricky's Gloves there and bring it to her, she will thank you and let you ride in her pouch. Use her jumping ability to jump to the top of the mountain structure to the southwest, then get out of her pouch. Use the Roc's feather and the sword together and blow the man's balloon. He will introduce himself as Tingle and ask if you want to be his friend. Accept his request, and you will receive the Zelda Oracles Island Chart.png Island Chart.

After getting the chart, go to Ambi's age and talk to Rafton. He will tell you the raft is ready and instruct you on how to use it. Get on it, and follow the coast to the east. After a seastorm, you will land on Crescent Island.

Quest for your own belongings

Landing on Crescent Island.

After reaching Crescent Island, you will find that all of your items have been stolen by the island's inhabitants, the Tokay. In order to continue, you must get all of your items back, as they are necessary to reach the Moonlit Grotto[2]. Without your items, you can't get far. The only thing you can do is to head south to find the Tokay (Rosa in a Linked Game) with your Shovel. While not much, it lets you get past the first obstacles.

Head north to the cave, and dig through the earth obstructions. In this cave, you will have to approach from the north. This Tokay will give you your Wooden Sword back, allowing you to reach the eastern part of the island.

Exit the cave and go west. Push the Vine Sprout east twice, then go back to your landing spot and continue east. The Business Scrub sell the Wooden Shield for 50 Rupees, but ignore it as you can get it from a Tokay for 10 Scent Seeds later. Move the Vine Sprout in the next screen below the ledge. Continue south, then follow the coast north. Enter the hut: an annoying hypocrite thief bully Tokay refuses to return your items. You are forced to trade the Shovel for the Power Bracelet.

Walk back south along the eastern beach. Move the rock with the Power Bracelet, and head down the stairs. The second staircase brings you to the back of the Cucco Hut and get the Bombs back. Once you retrieve your Bombs, you can use them on the cracked block under the Cucco Hut to get a Zelda Oracles Gasha Seed.png Gasha Seed.

Trading the Stink Bag for the Tasty Meat.

Back to the hypocrite bully thief, swap the Power Bracelet with the Roc's Feather and go south again, then west jumping over the holes and go north. Bomb the entrance to a cave and go in. Jump over the patches of water, using Bombs on the cracked blocks, and reach the Tokay with the Zora's Flippers. This allows you to swim in the water again.

Switch to the Power Bracelet and re-enter the same cave. Move the rocks at the north-west corner, and dive into the water. This will eventually lead to the stairs that reach the central plateau, and where you can retrieve your Seed Satchel. The Seed Satchel should have 20 Mystery Seeds (which may be harvested if necessary) that can be used to permanently purchase the Roc's Feather; if not, you can harvest them digging the ground.

Obtain both the Roc's Feather (using 10 Mystery Seeds) and Power Bracelet. This lets you move through the south cave (which is one screen down and west from the other cave), and speak with the Tokay carrying your Harp of Ages. As you return to the Cucco Hut, make sure that all three Vine Sprouts are near the associated strange wall.

Planting a Scent Seedling for the future.
Obtaining the Scent Seeds is the main reason for the travel to Zelda's age.

Head to the area between the Cucco Hut and Trading Hut. One wall on the left may be bombed. This leads to the Wild Tokay Minigame, where you need to throw food at each Tokay on the left and right. Completing the game rewards you with a Zelda Oracles Scent Seedling.png Scent Seedling. This Scent Seedling should be given to the Tokay found at the North of the island.

Now return to the Cucco Hut and warp to the Zelda's age. Go down and enter the Hut. Trade the Stink Bag for the Zelda Oracle Tasty Meat.png Tasty Meat. With the vines in place, you can reach the Scent Tree. So make your way to it and get Zelda Oracles Scent Seed.png 18 Scent Seeds from it. The Scent Seeds allow you to purchase the Power Bracelet and let you have all necessary items.

Return to the Past and buy the Power Bracelet for 10 Scent Seeds from the hypocrite bully thief. Exit and reenter and you can buy back the Wooden Shield for another 10 Scent Seeds.

Towards the next dungeon

With the Roc's Feather, Shovel and Power Bracelet, you have everything you need to reach the Moonlit Grotto. Return to where you retrieved your Harp of Ages, and enter the time portal at the end of the path to reach Zelda's age. Go north to a crossing that has two paths (north and east). Go east and you will get to a cave where a Great Fairy heals you completely. The north path (full of Sand Crabs) leads to the Moonlit Grotto, where you can find the next Essence.

  1. It can be argued that Ricky is female, because a kangaroo's pouch is part of female genitals. Nevertheless, since real bears have no wings (unlike Moosh) and Dimitri is a fictional reptilian, the discussion about Ricky's pouch and gender is pointless.
  2. "Grotto" is a mispelling of the Italian word "grotta" or the French word "grotte". Both terms simply mean "cave".

Moonlit Grotto

Dungeon, part 1

File:Zelda Ages Moonlit Grotto Map.png
Map of the Dungeon.
This is the Rotating Plattform.

Use the Bomb on the broken Block to go west. Use the Harp of Ages to kill the Pols Voice to let a chest appear. Inside it's the Zelda Oracles Dungeon Map.png Dungeon Map. Return east and north. Kill the Mini-Moldorm here to open a door east. In the next room are two Iron Masks which can only be defeated from behind due to the Mask protecting them from front, so ignore them and slay the first Crystal of four.

Go north and enter the rotating plattfirm which bring you on east path. Go east and go around to the Statues. Destroy the Block near it with a Bomb and destroy another Block west with another Bomb over the fence. Go north, west and move the Block south. Throw another Bomb over the fence south. Now move the Block near it north to reach the second Crystal. Destroy it and move the right Block north. Move the Statue right twice, north twice, west and south to let a Zelda Oracles Small Key.png Small Key appear. Take it and go west, south, west and open the north Door with the Small Key.

In the next room north are two Peahats and one Green Zol. Fall down the pit to the basement. Watch out for the Yellow and Blue Tektites along with two Red Zols surrounding you once you land in the basement. Defeat the Enemies here or ignore them and go down. Kill the Mini-Moldorm to open a door south. Go down and play the Harp of Ages to destroy the Pol Voices, which open another door north.

Go north throught the other exit twice and go up the stairs and destroy the third Crystal. Return to the basement and go down one screen and kill the Mini-Moldorm with a Bomb over the fences. Exit the room through the newly opened door down, west. Throw a Bomb over the fence to turn the Switch to red, which awaken an Armos. So kill it with a Bomb (which is easier said than done), but the Reward for killing is the Zelda Oracles Compass.png Compass. Now take the stairs up to the first floor.

Move the Block like that to get a Small Key.
All four Crystals are now destroyed.

Go left and move the northmost Block north and the 2 other Blocks besides it left and right. Another Zelda Oracles Small Key.png Small Key will appear. Take it and go right. Jump off the Ledge and go right, up twice, then right to the Wheel Room. Enter the rotating Plattform which bring you on the southern path. Return to the Wheel Room from the west again and this time the Plattform will bring you on the northern path. Go up and watch out for the Like Likes, which like to eat your shield. Go east and step on the button to fight four Armos. Kill them all with Bombs, which may take some time. Take the Zelda Oracles Small Key.png Small Key after the defeat of all four Armos and go back west. Open up the door with the Small Key.

Kill three Red Zols fast and shield yourself from the Flying Tiles until all Tiles are wasted, then all doors will open so go west, south and northwest. Climb up the stairs and go south to a chest with Zelda Oracles Middle Blue Rupee.png 30 Rupees inside. Now go back up and open the door. Go north and west. Kill two Mini-Moldorm and two Arm-Mimics to receive the Zelda Oracles Seed Shooter.png Seed Shooter. Go right and fire a Ember Seed with the Seed Shooter on the torch in the middle of room to open the south door. Go down twice, east, north (you have to return to the Wheel Room again throuth the southern Path).

Use the Seed Shooter to destroy the fourth and last Crystal. Go down and you'll see that the Rotation Plattform has disappeared and now a chest is there. Take the Zelda Oracles Gasha Seed.png Gasha Seed out of it and go left. Go fall down to the basement again then right. The Rotation Plattform has fall down to this room, so now you can access new rooms. Go down and slay two Iron Masks and move the 3 Block on the southeastern most Part in the Pit and use the Seed Shooter to light up two torch to let another Zelda Oracles Gasha Seed.png Gasha Seed appear. Take it and go left, up, right and up twice to meet the Mini-Boss Subterror.

Miniboss: Subterror

Subteror

Equip the Shovel and Sword. When Subterror come at you, then dig him up and slash at him until he dig back under sand. Repeat this a few times and he is defeated, but beware the more you hit him the faster he will become.

Dungeon, part 2

hitting the switch with the Seed Shooter.
Shot the Switch throuth the hole.

Go left and up. Kill two Mini-Moldorm and then move the out of place Block to align with the three Blocks in room to let a Zelda Oracles Small Key.png Small Key appear. Take it and return to the Wheel Room. Go left, up and slash the Crystal Ball. Use the Seed Shooter to hit the Switch to let a bridge appear. Hit the Switch again after slashing the Crystal Ball few to align the Barrier to make way to a chest with Zelda Oracles Middle Blue Rupee.png 20 Rupees inside. Open the door and go north.

Hit the Crystal Ball once with Seed Shooter and hit the Switch. Go over the bridge and hit the Switch again. Go up and move the sole Block away. Return to the Wheel Room and take the east path. Step on the button once then off stay on the button and shot the Switch diagonally with the Seed Shooter. Go up and take the Zelda Oracles Boss Key.png Boss Key from the Chest. Jump of the Ledge and go left, up, left, up and open the Boss Door to meet Shadow Hag.

Boss: Shadow Hag

Shadow Hag
Obtaining the Echoing Howl.

Equip the Seed Shooter and Sword. The Boss will split up in four shadows which you must avoid. After a while the shadows will merge, but you can't attack while facing her, so you need to turn back on her as she spew some Moths and shot the Seed Shooter at the wall which bounce off and hit the Shadow Hag behind you. She will after a while then split up again in four shadows. Repeat it a few times (perhaps you need figure out the timing to how to shoot her from behind) and she will be history. Collect the Zelda Oracles Heart Container.png Heart Container and go left. Take the Zelda Oracles Echoing Howl.png Echoing Howl.

"It echoes far across the plains to speak to insolent hearts."

Upon the exit of the Dungeon you see how Ambi talk with Veran about the Black Tower which will soon be complete. The Maku Tree mention a Essence of Time northwest of Lynna City. So the next destination is the Skull Dungeon.
