What works well

  • Full single-player campaign in an official client
  • Suspend / resume conveniences per Nintendo’s app
  • In-game secrets for linking when both Oracle titles are in your library

What may differ

  • Original Game Link Cable behavior is not 1:1 with NSO
  • GBA-only side content may need original GBA hardware paths
  • Online features follow Nintendo policies, not cartridge quirks

Linking on NSO

1

Finish one Oracle game

Clear credits on Ages or Seasons so the game can issue secrets.

2

Write secrets down

Copy ring secrets and linked passwords carefully (case/symbol sensitive).

3

Start the other title

Begin a linked file and enter secrets when NPCs / intro prompts ask.

4

Full Switch linking guide

Screenshot workflow, Holodrum vs Labrynna, Farore loop, and stuck fixes.
