TLOZ: The Oracle of Seasons
Formerly known as:
Chapter of Earth
Weather Chaos
You think it's bad when the
Weatherman gets the forecast wrong.. u ain't seen nothing yet.
A unique idea, but with major
difficulties equals disappointment
and broken promises! The formal
"Tri"Force Series was cut down to only two games, instead
of three. The Chapter of Earth, and the Chapter of Time and Space or
The Oracle of Seasons and
The Oracle of Ages. Both having storylines and plots that mirror the
other, but unique in it's own way. Both games start with the
Triforce taking Link to a new magical land, full of surprises and
excitement
STORYLINE
One day in Hyrule, a strange force drew Link deep within Hyrule castle,
where he found the Triforce resting, glittering brilliantly as it awaited him.
"Link... Link... Accept the quest of the Triforce!"
Suddenly, Link was enveloped in a circle of light, and the next moment,
he vanished.
When Link awoke, he found himself in a forest he had never seen.
Confused, he looked around blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings. He heard
pleasant music and laughing voices echoing from deep within the woods. Link
followed the inviting voices until he came upon a traveling troupe of actors.
He was immediately struck by the beauty of a young woman who was dancing about
in circles. When the girl noticed Link, she smiled brightly and called to
him.
"Welcome to Holodrum. I am Din, the dancer," she said with glee. "Would
you like to dance with me? Don't be shy. It will be more fun if we dance
together." She took him by the hand, and he reluctantly began to dance.
Unfortunately, this blissful moment did not last long. The sky suddenly
went dark, and there was a loud crash of thunder, followed by a resounding,
thunderous voice.
"I've found you, Din! You can't deceive me by disguising yourself as a
dancer. I am Onox, General of Darkness! Now reveal yourself, Oracle of
Seasons!"
Then a great tornado dropped from the sky and drew near Din, as if to
engulf her.
"Help me, Link!" she cried.
Link was blown back by the tornado as he struggled against its awesome
force, and Din was swept away in the wind...
And then strange things began to happen throughout the land.
When Onox carried off the Oracle of Seasons from the land of Holodrum,
the seasons fell into chaos and the land was deprived of the bountiful gifts
of nature. Life was slowly being drained from the land, and all living things
began to wither.
And so Onox set in motion his plan to gather the power from the withering
land and create a world of total darkness. Will Link be able to rescue Din
from the hand of evil, the General of Darkness?
Such is the quest Link must undertake.
The Legend continues...
Along the way, players will
meet up with a host of characters and creatures old and new,
including a young witch named Maple, the mysterious volcano-dwelling
Ura tribe, the familiar Gorons, and even Talon and Malon. Link will
also encounter three animal buddies he can ride: Ricky the boxing
kangaroo, Mashu the flying blue bear, and Weiwei the swimming red
dinosaur...
