** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleOfAges'' has a couple opportunities to combine it with TimeTravel to create a BootstrapParadox. One part of the ChainOfDeals to get the Noble Sword is to trade for a Goron's family heirloom; you then trade this vase to his ancestor in the past, which the ancestor then passes down to his descendants, creating a vase of infinite age with no point of origin.
