Game Overview:
In short, The Legend of Zelda: The Mystical Seed
of Courage was originally planned to be the third game in
the Oracle series. The series was originally called the Triforce
Triforce, with the three games called the Mystical Seed of
Wisdom, the Mystical Seed of Power, and the Mystical Seed
of Power.
Many different
courses of action were taken for these games. Some of the
workers on the game disagreed on what should be the game's
content, and in the end both Capcom and Flagship, other game
developers, were brought in to help created the game.
Both Nintendo and
the other developers all agreed on one thing: they wanted
to include some kind of connection between the games. They
talked about using a cell phone-type connection to link the
games, but ended up settling with a simple password system
to link the games.
However, the password
system provided problems while using a third game. So The
Mystical Seed of Courage was cancelled. The Mystical Seed
of Wisdom became the Oracle of Ages, and The Mystical Seed
of Power became the Oracle of Seasons. The Mystical Seed of
Courage was rumored to have been called the Oracle of Secrets.
Both games were
released simultaneously, and the third game was gone forever.
Nintendo never released any screenshots, so we knew next to
nothing about it. However, a few details were known about
it, but nothing else was ever discovered or released.

The box was likely going to be green, with the game titled
Oracle of (*). While one would assume it likely that it
would be Oracle of Secrets, it is debated whether Farore
would've gotten that title if she would've gotten her own
game, as that game wouldn't have been about "secrets".
-
The game would have somehow involved the Book of Secrets.
