RATE THIS9/10
Oracle of Ages somehow feels both new and familiar at the same time. While many beloved Zelda tropes remain, the game still takes plenty of chances, many of which really pay off. Link may have already done some time-travelling in Ocarina of Time, but in Oracle of Ages, it becomes the game's central aspect, making way for a puzzle-heavy adventure filled with colourful characters, interesting items and a plot much unlike those previously seen in the franchise. Link's Awakening may have given birth to its game engine, but Ages feel like a game all its own. While it may not be the most traditional Zelda game out there, that's certainly not a reason to avoid it: this is the perfect opportunity to experience what Oracle of Ages has to offer.

Oracle of Ages is an adventure worth experiencing, but the design choices are too ambitious for the hardware and lead to frequent frustration.
