Well there is an independent games shop not far from here where I could probably find it fast...

You really should. It adds a lot of cool elements to the series. The puzzles are based on your shrinking and growing. There's tons of things to collect in the game. Massive amounts of secrets. It's really not a game you should be passing by.

All right. Next time I'm in that area I'll go have a look. They might have Oracle of Ages, while I'm there...

I will echo Onyx here; You really should play The Minish Cap. It is in many ways my favorite 2D Zelda.

Granted, the game it is not nearly as open ended as many of the older titles, but it offers new and intriguing experiences at every turn. Combat is very complex and rewarding for a 2D title - it obviously had an effect on the system used Twilight Princess - and the various items are original and well implemented. It has a unique fairytale atmosphere and great art. Great music, too. I'm also of the opinion that it is the only Zelda (with the possible exception of Majora's Mask) that handles the 'lategame' perfectly, finding a balance between exploration and rewards (I love the sound test). I really can't recomend it enough.

Plus, as I mentioned, Fujibayashi is a great worldbuilder. He is the only Zelda developer whose games have a clear sense of continuity or 'spiritual sucession'. You might appreciate some aspects of titles such as Phantom Hourglass more, as I did, if you played his other games. Hopefully, the same holds true for Skyward Sword.
