|  The
Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages
Story: Link awoke one day to find himself
deep in a strange forest. As he started to walk through the
woods, he heard cries for help comming from just up ahead of
him. Link hurried toward the voice, only to find a group of
monsters surrounding the woman who was screaming. When the monsters
saw Link, the immediately fled.
The woman who was being
attacked was none other than Impa, nurse to Hyrule's Princess
Zelda. Impa said she had come to the forest to search for a
singer names Nayru.
"Can't you help me look?"
Impa asked. Despite the strange look she gave him, Link could
not refuse her request. Together they found a large stone with
a rune on it. Naturally, Link moved the stone, but Impa wouldn't
so much as lay a hand on it.
As they traveled even deeper into the forest, they found
a young lady woman singing. Invited to t by the group of animals
that listened to the girl's song, Link joined in the circle
and let the beautiful song fill his ears and penetrate his heart.
This was surely Nayru, the singer Impa was searching for. Just
then, Impa erupted in a cackling laugh. "Ah
ha ha ha ha ha!"
A darkness surrounded Impa,
a frightening shadow lifted from her body. "Nayru! Oracle
of Ages! I, Veran, Sorceress of Shadows, shall make you my own!"
The shadow that called itself
Veran began swooping about the forest before flying straight
into the body of the frightened singer. A blinding light shone
forth from Nayru's body.
When Link's eyes had grown
used to the light, he realized that Nayru looked very strange.
Her face seemed veiled in shadow, and her bright smile had vanished.
A piercing, evil gaze had replaced it. "Ha ha ha ha
ha!"
"Now the power of the
Oracle of Ages is mine! I can travel through time at will! Now
a new age shall begin - an age of shadows!"! And with that,
Veran and Nayru vanished.
Nayru was actually the Oracle
of Ages who controlled time in this land of Labrynna. When the
oracle was kidnapped, the flow of time in Labrynna was distorted,
and strange things began to happen. Before vanishing, Veran
said, "When the past changes, so does the present."
Her plan was to travel to the past and gather power from the
sorrows of the people of Lybrynna so that she could travel to
the past and gather power from the sorrows of the people of
Lybrynna so that she could create her age of shadows.
Will Link be able to free
Nayru from Veran's evil clutches? Such is the quest that Link
must now undertake. |
