Oracle of Ages
Link ventures from Holodrum to Labrynna. Once he arrives, he participates in a fighting contest, but soon is surprised by the sudden appearance of Impa, Princess Zelda's nursemaid. Impa leads Link into a forest and asks him to move a stone marked with the symbol of the Triforce because she is unable to do so. Here, the two find Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, singing to a group of forest animals. After a short conversation between Link and Nayru, Impa reveals that she is possessed by Veran. Veran then possesses Nayru and travels back in time to "erase" Link's existence. Link meets Ralph, an old friend of Nayru's who is searching for her. Link explains her disappearance and they travel back in time to the construction of the Black Tower. Link is attacked by his ancestor, Raven, and taken to the dungeon for " deserting" the construction of the tower. Link soon escapes and spies on Veran, who is possessing Nayru's body, informing the queen of the impact the Black Tower will have on Queen Ambi's fame. Sir Raven is revealed as the person who helped Link escape from the dungeon and brings him to a hidden village where all of the supposedly dead villagers have taken residence. The Harp of Ages is shown being passed through various hands until Ralph finds it at a store and buys it. Link, however, is staring at the Black Tower with Raven and Roperi. Fights begin to break out at the tower and Link and Raven go to help the rebels. Link arrives at the castle and curses Veran in Nayru's body, who summons a giant tiger to take care of him. Ralph accidentally travels right on top of Link and, with the aid of the Harp of Ages, sends both of them to a deserted desert island. Ralph and Link construct a rowboat, but are caught by a large pirate ship. Soon after boarding, they discover that the entire crew is composed of skeletons. The Captain reveals himself as Queen Ambi's lover. He set sail to forget his sorrows and ended up caught in time. Soon, the entire ship died. After revealing his secret, the Captian gives Ralph and Link a rowboat and allows them to leave, on the condition that they send Queen Ambi his love.
