Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons pet hacking

[Knight of Time]

Hi all,

Is there anyone here who has attempted to hack codes or saves for The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and/or The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons in order to completely change all the aspects regarding your pet (which would not only involve changing the flute you have to a fully functional flute for one of the other two animals, but also completely changing the areas on the overworld map which are different depending on which one you have)?

I wanted to ask because I found a few saves for Oracle of Seasons where the person who uploaded them chose Ricky as their default pet, and it would be nice to have Dimitri or Moosh instead in that same save file without needing to make a new save)...so yeah, presuming there's multiple addresses for the pet data, I'm crossing my fingers for some input here please (just incase, for example, I cannot find a complete Oracle of Seasons save where the player chose Dimitri or Moosh).

These codes changes your pet along with the flute, song and overworld. Works fine in Seasons but untested in Ages...

Dimitri
010C10C6
0102B5C6
0102AFC6
Ricky
010B10C6
0101B5C6
0101AFC6
Moosh
010D10C6
0103B5C6
0103AFC6

I've only experimented with the Dimitri code so far, but I found it works in both games, even after saving the game and turning the code off afterward. But for some strange reason I cannot understand, in Oracle of Ages if Link's default pet was originally Ricky or Moosh, and the player uses the code above to change the default pet to Dimitri, and calls him with his flute, Link won't be able to ride him or pick him up with the Power Bracelet or Power Glove (I wish there was a way to fix that, but changing the first digit to a 9 didn't do the trick).

Still, thanks for your help.

Edit: I'm starting to think I've seen these codes before, now that I think of it.

Yes, that's where I originally found the codes years ago, thanks lee4.

Could someone here possibly give me some insight on why this code was originally made only for Oracle of Seasons, please? I have a slight feeling finding the working equivalent codes for Oracle of Ages might involve the necessity of being made from scratch, but I did find something that might prove helpful here: Some Oracle of Ages addresses.

[TokoyamiTheDark]

I tried to hack codes... but Dimitri cannot be used or lifted at all, even with Ages' adresses... but the other 2 pets work fine.

[Knight of Time]

Odd...I imported a save from Ages set just before the final confrontation with Veran (where the player chose Moosh), and I tried the Ricky code above, but I wasn't able to ride him either. I guess in that save that it's pointless to change the default pet to Ricky or Dimitri over Moosh.

I'm wondering if the default choice of Moosh in Ages has anything to do with this?

[Helder]

It's very likely that there are more addresses that need to be changed and the easiest way to figure it out is to have a save state with one pet and another save with the other pet but both pets need to be gotten without codes so that the differences can be compared.

[Knight of Time]

Ah, okay. Thanks Helder, I'll do that (I have the 3DS VC versions of both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, and I just got the first two essences in Ages. When I get the third essence, I'll save the game just before the point where Link can buy (or win) a Strange Flute, and I'll make sure to copy that file to the two empty slots I have. That way, I can have one save file with Moosh, one with Ricky, and one with Dimitri (I have SaveDataFiler on my 3DS, so that'll let me copy the save(s) to my computer when I'm ready).

So yeah, when that time comes, I'll post the saves (if that's okay).

Edit: Alright, I've gotten the third essence and copied my save to the other two slots. In each of the three slots, I got a different animal and his flute (file 1 is Moosh, file 2 is Dimitri, and file 3 is Ricky). Here it is: myooasave.rar

[Helder]

Here are the correct codes so that all of the animals can be mounted.

Dimitri
010C10C6
01E347C6
0102B5C6

Ricky
010B10C6
01E146C6
0101B5C6

Moosh
010D10C6
01E048C6
0103B5C6

Thanks helder! All three codes worked perfectly for me on Oracle of Ages.

Hurrah! Go helder!
