Oracle of Ages Linked Game Differences

 

Different Introduction: The introduction includes Koume and Kotake (shown from the non-linked game) in the introduction to the story, thus connecting the story to the other game.

Extra Power: You start off the game with 4 hearts instead of the usual 3, giving you the possibility of earning 16 total hearts in the game instead of the usual 14.

Experienced Swordsman: You will start out the game with the L-1 Sword already in your inventory. (Press START to get it.)

Kindly Impa: Impa will give you the L-1 Shield instead of the L-1 Sword.

Passwords: You'll meet 10 characters from Seasons who will give you a 5-character password each to take back to Holodrum.

Rosa's Back: Rosa appears twice during the game.

Ring Expansion: You can import your rings from the other game by talking to the Red Snake in both games.

Bouncing Baby Boy: Bipin and Blossom's son will have the same name as you gave it in Seasons.

Link's Best Friend: You'll get the same "pet whistle" as you had in the last game.

The Princess Zelda: You must rescue Zelda twice in the game, once after the 3rd dungeon, once after the 8th dungeon.

Hero's Cave: An additional, difficult side-dungeon is provided for your entertainment, with a rare ring as the prize.

A Battle of Wits: You will fight Koume and Kotake, Twinrova, and ultimately Ganon himself at the end of the game.

Modified Ending: Link and Zelda fans will just love to see Link finally getting the girl. ^_~
