21:09 "Eagle's Tower focuses on knocking down 4 pillars in the center, so you can ascend to the upper floors." I think that description is selling the dungeon a bit short. The cool part is that once you break the pillars, the entire upper half of the dungeon crashes down into the lower half, replacing a huge chunk of one floor with another floor. That's what always stood out to me about it.

These games got me into the Zelda series when I was in third grade. But Not because of the games themselves. If anyone remembers scholastic book fairs, there was one year sometime around 2002-2003 where they sold an Oracle of Ages and Seasons choose your own adventure book (I swear I'm the only one who had these because I've NEVER seen them mentioned on the internet). I thought the main character's name was Zelda and was obsessed with getting those books. They worked as a guide as well, even had a page dedicated to the trading quest going through what Link traded to who. I did eventually get to borrow one of the games from my friend but never actually beat it. But I've been a huge Zelda fan since

But they figured out pretty early that creating a password system that worked to link 3 games would have been a logistical nightmare on the Gameboy Color, and since that was kinda the entire point, they just took some of the ideas they had for that third game and shuffled them into Seasons and Ages. Happened early enough in development that if they wanted to complete the trilogy now, they’d need to just make a new game from scratch in the same engine they used for remaking the others…which I’d love to see.

I... can't agree regarding dungeon design. Honestly, did we play the same games? It's like you looked at it and came to the exact opposite conclusion. Oracle of Ages' dungeons are complicated and fucking rad, they remind me of Majora's Mask. Absolutely incredible designs, where you'd mess with the whole dungeons and affect things within it. Like, they unarguably have themes and unique identities in them, it's kind of why they're so beloved among those who have played them... Edit: Like the dungeon you have to deal with in the past AND present to complete both halves. Or the dungeon where you have to manipulate four different crystals to move between the different floors of sand. Or the one where it's the four elements, and you have to beat each elemental trial to get the necessary keys to proceed to the final areas. Or a DUPLICATE VERSION OF THE WATER DUNGEON where you have to raise and lower the jabu jabu's water levels! Or the one where you have to cool certain areas of lava to get around, and switch-hook things onto certain places.

I know right? It's almost as if he hates them solely for not being "focused mostly on combat" like the dungeons in Seasons were. Seriously, the most complex puzzles you ever needed to think about in Seasons were just platforming challenges the rest were either one room wonders or "enter room, kill all enemies, rinse and repeat", which implies significantly more "creative fatigue" than the devious brilliance that was the puzzles in Ages' dungeons.

There's a chasm a blue chicken takes you across very strenuously, and a table with "A powerful-looking bracelet" on it, before revealing "Oh, it's just a croissant." There's a reason these games are so beloved by its fans, and it's no coincidence that BOTW is such a hit with its director coming from them. It's only a shame that Nintendo doesn't give them any recognition.

All in all; I love the Oracle games. The Game Boy era Zelda’s will always be my favorites. I hope they remake them!

The Oracle games hold a hefty dose of nostalgia in my book. Seasons had the best dungeons and bosses whereas Ages had the best story and characters. We can only hope that Nintendo and Grezzo are remaking them on Switch as we speak right now

Memories you just unlocked: 1. I was OBSESSED with the Goron Dance Hall in Oracle of Ages. I would start up my Gameboy JUST to play it over and over. 2. mOOOOOOSH. I loved that dude. 3. I would make up lil dances by jumping onto the tree stumps in Oracle of Seasons and landing on different sides of it. It was a lot of dumb fun haha 4. Turning my volume all the way down whenever I had to use that godforsaken magnetic tool :,)

On the topic of music, I actually use the credits and staff roll song from ages as my morning alarm sometimes. Because if hire obnoxiously Loud it is, it essentially scares me awake

These games are probably top 5 of my favorite zelda games ever. They are incredibly designed and are so detailed and immersive... I can't understand why more people don't play them or give them a shot.

I got the games mostly because I had almost all the other Zeldas and thought 'What the heck, they're on Virtual Console'. Very glad I made that choice, they're now some of my favourites.

I love the Oracle games and this video makes it clear for me once more: I NEED a Remake of those games in the Links Awakening style on Switch. The assets are there I hope it will be announced within the scope of this year. The anniversary would be the perfect opportunity to do so.

Seasons was the first Zelda game I beat, Ages was rented and beat shortly after to see the “true ending”. As a Zelda fan, Seasons especially, they hold a special place in my heart. I had the guidebook, since as an 11 year old, they could get complicated! A real challenge! I pray they remake these and hopefully complete the intended third game that they wanted with the remake. It was intended to be 3 games, one for each triforce piece. Just remake and slap all three on a switch cartridge and sell for $60, I’ll for sure buy it!

i loved these games as a kid. originally i only had Ages, as a birthday present, but bought seasons later on with my pocket money to enable the 2nd playthrough and to use secrets etc. i had played links awakening on the gameboy so i was already accustomed to the top down zelda formula, and i loved that some of my favourite items from that game made a return, like the rocs feather and boomerang.

another excellent retrospective, and definitely the best ive ever seen someone articulate what really makes these games feel different from links awakening. ive played through all three multiple times but had never really been able to put my finger on just how much more demanding the oracle games are on your memory/spatial aptitude...they really are special in how much closer they get to the original zelda, especially compared to every other handheld game in the series

These are forever some of my favorite games of all time. Some soundtracks suck, but there's quite a few I really liked. There's _so much_ packed into each cartridge, I'm glad to see so many others appreciating them.

As kids I got Seasons and my older sister got Ages. I beat and replaced Seasons tons of times and never truly got into Ages. I still have Seasons tucked away while my sister lost Ages. A few months ago at a local game store I found both of these games on GBA carts so naturally I bought them both. Couldn't figure out how to link the two games and still don't haha. I almost have beaten Seasons and a couple dungeons in Ages. What I absolutely love about these on GBA is the save states and playing on my IPS funnyplaying screen GBA and makes these great games even better!

My brother just happened to buy both games at the same time that I bought my Gameboy Advance SP, and I couldn’t believe how fun and wonderful both games were! I’ve played the shit out of them, probably 10 times through by now and they still hold up! I even got into pixel art because one of my classes was so boring that I downloaded MS Paint and re-colored a bunch of sprites from both games, so thank you for doing a video on these hidden gems, they’re my favorite games of all time!

It's amazing to me that more people don't know about these games - they were so good! + the items you got from linking the games together were all pretty cool and felt like real rewards for going to all the trouble.

I'm normally a big puzzles guy, but I loved Seasons' overworld so much; the whole thing was like a puzzle. The boss fights were much more fun, too. Ages was great on GBC, and I think I might've played it twice, but I honestly enjoyed Seasons even more. They're both great, of course, and I'd love to see a Switch remake using assets from the Link's Awakening version.

I found a strategy guide for these games lying on a table at an after-school centre in my childhood. Everyone had already left and I was the last one there so I just took it home with me. In hindsight that was kind of, uh... theft. I didn't consider that at the time, and now I regret it, but it did give me the opportunity to experience these games, albeit entirely through text. Still have it, I think.
