Other than these notes, there's nothing to really say.
If you want a more frustrating one, pick up Ages. If you want a basic Legend of Zelda experience, pick up Seasons. On top of that, many of the dungeon puzzles are more convoluted, while in-between dungeon minigames can be a chore. Unlike Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages has many more limitations on Link as to where he can change the era he is in which can make overworld travel confusing. Oracle of Ages has plenty of mindless minigames during the main quest that can make progression through the game frustrating at best. However, I will make it clear that one of the two games is much more difficult than the other. Both games - even without linking the two games for the "true ending" are very complete Legend of Zelda standalone titles. There's not really much to complain about in the Oracle Series. Unlike Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages show general areas of which Link can reach mountainous areas, highlighted by bridges or slowly ascending platforms The Bad: Oracle of Ages and Seasons also fixes a lot of the issues with the map of the overworld, making sure that any passageways are clearly visible instead of simply showing the general layout of the land. The save feature that was marked as "the bad" in the Link's Awakening Rewind Review has been removed, and instead the game boasts several Start Menu screens that have been formatted in a fashion similar to that of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. For more on this you can read the Link's Awakening Rewind Review. Since Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons run off of a very similar formula to Link's Awakening, many of the features that were good about that game return. The Gameplay The Good: The inventory screen is separated into equipable items, and quest items, much like Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask on the N64 My problem with the Oracle Series, however, lies with the games returning to the classic Legend of Zelda formula of simply having Link be the hero because. However, the concepts that the games play with are the true highlights, namely: corruption of powerful people ( Ages), the necessity of harmony in nature ( Seasons), and the concept of decisions affecting the future ( Ages). However, they are soon kidnapped by Veran and Onox, sending Labrynna into a time-fluctuating mess, and Holodrum into a seasonal nightmare.īoth games progress as you would expect a Legend of Zelda game to do, and the story elements and characters are somewhat memorable despite few having major roles. In Ages this is Nayru, and in Seasons it is Din - both sharing a name with the goddesses of Hyrule. In both Oracle games, Link is quickly introduced to the titular Oracle of either game.

However, he is then teleported away to a distant land. This is where the similarities end between the two games as he is teleported to Labrynna or Holodrum in Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons respectfully. He then enters the castle and finds the Triforce within.
Link rides his horse up to a castle in the middle of a mountainous area.

With that said, let's grab our Harp of Ages and Rod of Seasons and venture through Labrynna and Holodrum in the Legend of Zelda: Oracle Series for the Gameboy Color! The Plotīoth Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons start out in a similar fashion that is told through the game's intro. No nostalgia glasses, no excuses, no rationalizing hardware limitations, and no sparing myself from angry fans and readers. Nothing will excuse this game from anything that we - as modern gamers - would expect to see in the genre today. Second, both games share a lot of gameplay mechanics, with the only true differences between the games being the story.Īs with all Rewind Reviews, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages will undergo a review process through the eyes of a modern critic. First, both games are actually required to reach the "true ending" of the game. While Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are both two different games, I have decided to join these two for a couple of reasons.
