If you only just got done playing Tears of the Kingdom and want more Zelda, Nintendo has just the remedy. The Japanese publisher has this week expanded its classic Zelda game collection on the Switch, now offering The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. These two Game Boy Color titles, initially released on the same day in 2001, were developed by Flagship, a subsidiary of Capcom.
Classic Zelda Games Join Switch Online Library
If you’re unfamiliar with the games, they see players explore the enchanting worlds of Labrynna and Holodrum as the iconic hero, Link. In Oracle of Ages, Link faces the wicked Sorceress of Shadows, Veran, while in Oracle of Seasons, he embarks on a mission to rescue the oracle Din from the ruthless General Onox. Both games feature an overhead perspective similar to other early Zelda titles like A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening.
What makes these games truly unique is that they boast separate storylines but share a linked ending. Once players complete one of the games, they receive a password that can be entered into the other, allowing for a seamless continuation of the plot. Moreover, an extra dungeon is unlocked at the end, revealing the true ending.
With the addition of these two titles, the Switch’s Game Boy library on Switch Online now boasts a total of 15 games. Here’s the complete list:
- Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (GBC)
- Blaster Master: Enemy Below (GBC)
- BurgerTime Deluxe (GB)
- Game & Watch Gallery 3 (GBC)
- Gargoyle’s Quest (GB)
