I'm not an artist: Six items from Oracle of Ages found in a secret government facility.

Six items from Oracle of Ages found in a secret government facility.

Huge Maku Seed: This huge seed acts as a powerful focus of good energy allowing Link to penetrate the barrier surrounding the Black Tower so he can finally confront Veran. Link must collect all eight of  Essences of Time from the eight dungeons throughout Labrynna. Once he has every essence, he must return them to the Maku Tree so she can create the seed.

The Section for Occult Research and Defense, most commonly referred to as S.O.R.D., was created after a series of very public mass suicides were linked to prophecies spoken more than six hundred years ago. Officially, this section is only responsible for monitoring dangerous cult activity, but it also has a classified mission to keep occult and paranormal activity from causing harm. In the pursuit of that mission, S.O.R.D. has collected a number of interesting objects, including an avocado tree whose fruit can be used to accurately predict the future when its roots are bathed with blood.

Zora’s Flippers: These flippers were created by the great inventor Cheval who created items that help the landlocked venture away from the shore and out into the watery places of the world. Link can find these flippers within Cheval’s tomb in the Yoll Graveyard. Before his death, Cheval designed and built a cavernous tomb with obstacles and puzzles to ensure that only one who is worthy of his gifts could obtain them. The flippers allow Link to swim in the waters of Labrynna and dive briefly to avoid attacks, circumvent obstacles,  and solve puzzles.

The 2050s are remembered as the decade when the polar ice caps melted entirely away and the coasts were flooded under rapidly rising sea levels. They are also remembered for the emergence of urban diving. Divers flocked to the newly sunken city districts, some as explorers and adventurers, while others came as scavengers and thieves looking to loot the places abandoned during the floods.

Boomerang: The boomerang is not a required item or even a dungeon item in Oracle of Ages. Link can win it in the Goron Shooting Gallery in the Rolling Ridge but doesn’t have to in order to stop Veran and save Labrynna. The Oracle of Ages boomerang does all the standard boomerang stuff including stunning enemies and grabbing items.

Advancements in drone technology have made increasingly robust and useful drones. The tri-rang system is a modular drone that can be configured for many functionalities including surveying new planets, surveilling persons of interest, package delivery, and combat support. To deploy the drone, one need only throw it like a boomerang and command it through the standard neural interface.

Dimitri’s Flute: Link unknowingly selects his animal companion in Oracle of Ages in how he acquires the strange flute. To eventually meet Dimitri and forge a bond with the dodongo, Link should buy the strange flute from the Lynna City Shop when it is available for purchase after completing the Moonlit Grotto. If Link buys the flute, he will eventually run into Dimitri in the lost woods and Dimitri will teach Link a tune to play when he needs help.

Dimitri is a red dodongo that can be ridden. When riding Dimitri, he can chomp enemies and foliage and swim like a raft. Link can also pick up and throw Dimitri with the help of the power bracelet.

Upon entering the spirit world, it is not uncommon for first-time travelers to be visited by a massive turtle spirit. These are avatars of the great turtle that is said to safely carry the world through the cosmos upon its back. The spirit teaches novice wanderers a melody to sing should they wish to return to the material plane. The great turtle's senses are not limitless, so travelers are warned to not wander too far, lest they become lost in the infinite realm of spirits.
