The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons



In 2001, Nintendo, Capcom and Flagship presented a new Gameboy Zelda game. Two actually: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. GameBoy Color only!

The Oracle of Seasons begins with Link waking up in the land of Holodrum. He then finds a group of people and begins to dance with them. Then everything goes wrong when Onox "the general of darkness" impressions the oracle of seasons. Link is now on a quest to fix this world and bring the weather back to normal.

This game looks very similar to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. This time there are a number of news items and additional features. In this game Link can change the seasons (Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter). Each season does something different to the map. This makes the game fun and puzzling. Link will also find a number of animal friends that will help him on his quest. I really like this game. The music is great. The game play is fantastic. Problems will occur when you must change the seasons in a certain order to unlock the next area. Some parts of this game are really hard to figure out.

Overall this game is very fun but it can be really confusing at some points. Watch out.

NOTE: This game is only playable with Gameboy Color or higher (GBA, Gameboy Player).
Also, at the end of this game they want you to play Oracle of Ages to really finish the adventure/story.
