Both are independent games, but when they're linked between two Game Boy Color consoles via the separately sold Game Link cable, players can share items, uncover story elements, and unlock hidden areas in each game. In Oracle of Seasons, players help Link embark on a quest to recover the Essences of Nature. To do so, he must first find the Rod of Seasons, a magical item that lets Link transform the landscape into the season of his choice, helping him overcome obstacles and solve puzzles. Ricky the kangaroo, Moosh the winged bear, and Dimitri the dodongo accompany Link on this adventure. Using the Harp of Ages, Link must travel through time and space to save Nayru, the eponymous prophet in Oracle of Ages, who's been kipped by the evil sorceress Veran. By learning new melodies to play on the harp, players will travel to the past and affect changes in the present to solve the game's varied puzzles. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review ------ We could be cynical and snort on about how Nintendo's just trying to double their buck, but we have to admit we're pretty excited about Link's pair of upcoming adventures Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. After all, the Zelda line up has almost always offered us it's very best, regardless of console. In Oracle of Seasons, it's up to Link to rescue perennial Damsel in Distress Princess Zelda by making use of the Rod of the Four Seasons. By using the rod to alter the seasons, Link can open up new areas and secrets. Similarly, in Oracle of Ages, players will make use of a harp to enable Link to travel back and forth through time, to similar effect. The really interesting news, of course, is that while each game is a completely separate adventure, certain areas in one game can only be opened by means of a pas acquired from the other. It's a novel idea, and sure to incur the wraith of many a cowed parent come May 14, but nonetheless, we're just glad to see Link looking good and back in action. -- DailyRadar Review See more ( javascript:void(0) )
