[FANGAME][IN DEVELOPMENT] Zelda-Oracle of Secrets

[Rosencrantz]

well, instead of pages being the essences, why don't you just keep the Essences of Space idea

and then collecting the missing pages will be like finding the seasons for the Rod of Seasons or being taught tunes like in the Harp of Ages
(why yes I can't remember what they're called)

make it all just storyline stuff, and the Great Maku Tree will tell you where it's sensing the next page when you get stuck at a road block

but then make it so that you need the essences of Space to get into the final boss dungeon since he distorted everything so badly in there that if you tried to enter, you'd get thrown back to the main village



and then we have the pages
here's a few ideas I have for this, if you're interested:
1. Translation (helps you translate text)
2. Grotto Shift (find a grotto, use it, and you can shift to Dark World; leaves a teleporter in the grotto in the opposite world)
3. Village Shift (use it anywhere; teleports you to the opposite world's main village)
4. Secret Map (use it to track down a dungeon that the Maku Tree can't pinpoint later in the game)
5. Free Shift (teleport between worlds at any location)
6. List of Names (you find this upon beating the final boss; he tries to transform into an even bigger baddie than he was before, and he proves completely unbeatable, so you find this and, upon using this item in the next fight, you erase his name, turning him to stone and your adventure is over)
