The eighth and final dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', the '''Ancient Tomb''' is located within the [[Sea of No Return]]. The "Sea" is actually dried up, revealing a great maze filled with strong adversaries ([[Darknut]]s and [[Lynel]]s). Within the stone halls of the tomb are many twists, turns, traps, and treasures. The main treasure that [[Link]] obtains within these ancient catacombs is the [[Power Bracelet#Power Glove|Power Glove]]. Link must then use this new found power to take on the tomb's boss: [[Ramrock]].  After defeating Ramrock, Link is rewarded with the [[Essences of Time#Falling Star|Falling Star]] (the last [[Essences of Time|Essence of Time]]).

The [[Maku Tree (Female)|Maku Tree]] cannot detect the presence of the final essence hidden within this dungeon, meaning Link gets no clues as to where this dungeon is located. As such, Link must rely on detective skills alone to locate the dungeon. The reason that the Maku Tree is unable to detect the Essence may be that it only exists within the past. Although the essence within the [[Wing Dungeon]] and [[Mermaid's Cave]] are also in the past, it can be presumed that the essences do exist in the present too, but are simply inaccessible.

At some point, during the four hundred years which Link traverses while traveling in time, a bizarre change occurred: The Ancient Tomb vanished, the Sea of No Return vanished, and the key to the Ancient Tomb's access, the stone guardian, became the dungeon called [[Moonlit Grotto]].

Perhaps not by accident, the former site of the Ancient Tomb would later become a graveyard. [[Yoll Graveyard]], to be precise.

Quite likely, the mystery of how this tomb simply vanished from history, along with its guardian sea and secret passage, will never be solved, outside of theory.
