Crescent Island

Crescent Island is a giant island located in both the Past and Present within Oracle of Ages.

Features

Crescent Island is the home of the Tokay, reptilian-like creatures that inhabit the island. These creatures seem to exclusively live on Crescent Island and are unaware of civilization outside of their island. When Link first arrives after being shipwrecked, they don't quite know what Link is, given his different physical appearance than that of the Tokay.

The island gets its name from its geographical appearance in the Past. Water surrounds the island, but in past, due to the elevated water level, it fills in much of the western portion of the island as well. This creatures a small bay where the land wraps around the water and creates a crescent moon shape.

Within the Bay, there is a small Peninsula that sticks out into the water. At the edge of this piece of land there is a one-eyed Tokay statue. This statue is especially important to the Tokay that inhabit the island and they refer to it as their guardian. This statue is eventually opened, which reveal an underground cavern leading to the Sea of No Return.

In the present, the water level has receded, causing the island to lose its crescent moon shape. The entire western half of Crescent Island, which previously consisted of water, is now filled with trees and dense vegetation. The Tokay Guardian statue at the west part of Crescent Island still stands, but it will now have its mouth open and serves as the entrance to the third dungeon, the Moonlit Grotto.

Story

Reaching Crescent Island

After completing the Wing Dungeon, Link will have to meet several new characters and acquire several items before he can set sail for Crescent Island. Link will need to acquire the Raft, which is made by Rafton. However, in order to do so Link will first need to obtain Cheval Rope from Cheval's Tomb, located within the Yoll Graveyard.

Link will need to travel to the Graveyard where he will meet up with Moosh. Using his unique flying ability Link will be able to make his way to Cheval's Tomb. Inside, Link will first acquire the Zora's Flippers, which will then enable him to get the Cheval Rope.

Link will also need to get the Island Chart, which is acquired from Tingle in the Forest of Time. Tingle cannot be reached because of the high cliffs and pits that block Link's path. However, Link will run into Ricky within the Forest of Time. After finding Ricky's Gloves, Link will be able to use Ricky to scale these cliffs and reach Tingle, where he will acquire the Island Chart.

With Cheval Rope and the Island Chart, Link can return to Rafton and set sail. Along his journey, Link gets caught up in a storm and is shipwrecked. When the hero awakens, he finds himself on Crescent Island.

On Crescent Island

Once Link arrives, he is surrounded by a group of Tokay. The Tokay will take all of Link's items and than scatter about throughout the island. Link will then need to travel throughout Crescent Island in both the Past and Present to track down all the Tokay and get back all of his items.

The Island is designed so that after Link gets back one of his items, he will gain access to a new area of the island. When he reaches the Tokay Traders hut at the northeast corner of Crescent Island, he will be able to trade his Shovel to get back his Power Bracelet or Roc's Feather. Using unique combinations of items, Link will be able to explore more of the island and acquire more items. Eventually, Link will get his Seed Satchel back, which allows him to get his Roc's Feather back. Later, he gets the Scent Seedling from the Wild Tokay mini-game, which allows him to acquire Scent Seeds and get his Power Bracelet back.

After acquiring all of his items back, Link will be able to journey to a warp portal at the west end of the island in the Past. After using the Harp of Ages, Link can warp to the Present, where he will then gain access to the third dungeon, the Moonlit Grotto. Here he will obtain the third Essence of Time, the Echoing Howl.
