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.
ScreenRant's Matthew Wilcox writes, "Remakes of two Legend of Zelda games would have plenty of opportunities for improvements, but may also remove a key feature in the process."
NE: "We look at the most overlooked Zelda game, why it's a good entry, and why a remake would make sense for Nintendo."
Remakes would then warrant full price games at £50. Would much prefer a Zelda collection, but that's never going to happen. I never played these games. Prefer 2D Zelda games, last one I played was Minish Cap.
I completed both recently, and they're okay. They've got nothing on A Link to the Past, but they did feature a few challenging dungeon puzzles, overall they are worth a playthrough, but also not that memorable.
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.
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.
