Old Mermaid Key

The Old Mermaid Key is an item in Oracle of Ages. It is the key to Mermaid's Cave and exists in both time periods, as the Mermaid Key for the past and the Old Mermaid Key for the present. Both keys are obtained in a similar fashion.

Location and Uses
To obtain the OoA:, OoA: must first obtain the OoA: from the OoA: by successfully completing the OoA: in either the present or the past. Obtaining the OoA: makes OoA: an honorary OoA:, allowing him to bypass the OoA: guarding the stairs to the upper reaches of OoA:. Next, OoA: must complete the OoA: OoA: with a perfect score in order to receive the OoA:. This item is given to the very same OoA: guard, who happens to be very hungry. In return, he will give OoA: the OoA:. Back in the past, the OoA: guard (who is the ancestor of the one in the present), ironically, would like the vase to use as an heirloom to teach his descendants the value of life. In return, OoA: will be given the OoA:. Finally, after giving the OoA: to the OoA: in charge of the OoA:, OoA: will gain the opportunity to play for the OoA:. Once he wins, the key is his.
