While playing The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons for the first time, nostalgia relentlessly whisks Thirty & Nerdy's Matt Strnad back to the days of Game Boy Color, Dreamcast and PS2 where he attempts to identify exactly what is is about Nintendo's hallmark franchise that so effortlessly evokes a sense of adventure and excitement with every single entry, regardless of how much they've aged.
Recent rumors suggest The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages games are coming to Switch, but that doesn't really add up.
I remember enjoying Twilight Princess overall, though the dark/light world mechanic felt too similar to Metroid Prime 2.
I never played Skyward Sword though. Did that retain the cool as fuck sheathing animation link does in Twilight Princess?
The whole time I played the remake of "Link's Awakening" on my Switch, I kept hoping they would do the oracle games in a similar style.
I wonder when the "why any other Zelda but Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword would make more sense" article will pop up.
Gotta release um all Zeldamon'
Really funny seeing this and "What’s with the lack of game content, Nintendo?" right next to each other.
OK......no and hard pass but ok. Look Zelda TP is a very good entry but imo its had its time and 3 versions on (Gamecube, Wii, Wii U) I say let it rest. Especially since it will inevitably be just a slightly touched up port of the HD Wii U game. Id actually prefer a Wind Wake HD port over TP. That said Oracle of Seasons/Ages done in the new Link's Adventure style is vastly more appealing to me, and I hope that's what they do.
After Mario’s 35th anniversary has come and gone, and even Metroid is getting its 35th with brand new game Metroid Dread, it may seem strange that the 35th anniversary for The Legend of Zelda passed by with little fanfare earlier this year.
No it's not. It's time Nintendo stopped with the ports/remakes and remasters and started putting in some actual effort by providing new content. Even their new console is just a port of the old one smh
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons are very much two halves of the same grand adventure, but they’re both worth examining on their own merits.
Anyone else playing Seasons or Ages for the first time? Anyone play them back in the day?
I'll be playing both of them for the first time. I started with Seasons. I like it so far. I like that they threw some new mechanics and puzzles into the dungeons. They're small things, but it makes things feel fresh. The seasons mechanic can get kind of annoying, though. I feel that sometimes it just needlessly makes things more complicated. Overall, though, I'm enjoying it. I like Link's Awakening better at this point, but this is pretty good too.
