The Triforce has alerted Link to trouble in the land of Holodrum, where the General of Darkness has kidnapped Din, the Oracle of Seasons. The villain hopes to transform Holodrum into a wasteland by changing the order of the seasons. It's up to you to help Link save Holodrum by rescuing Din...
The game features more combat and less puzzle-solving than its sister title, Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Its mechanics and menus are similar to those found in the original Zelda Game Boy game--this is classic overhead role-playing at its best. The key item in this game is the Rod of Seasons, which allows Link to change seasons at will. For example, an impassable lake becomes a quick pathway to stroll by using the rod to change seasons from summer to winter.
Although this game is extremely enjoyable on its own, you'll want to use it in conjunction with Oracle of Ages. After you complete one game you'll be given a password that can be used in the other to enable you to begin with all your items, statistics and progress intact. Certain characters will appear only when you play both games, and by using a link cable, players can trade items. Game Boy Advance users will find a store that's exclusive to them.
This is one of the best Game Boy titles ever, though it may not appeal to younger players or those looking for an undemanding game. --Raymond M Padilla, Amazon.com
"This game is probably the reason for mine and many others for having to get glasses. I remember the COUNTLESS hours playing that I spent staring at that tiny Gameboy Color screen trying to get everything in this game. One of the best birthday presents I have ever recieved and the memories of it dominating my 5th grade summer are timeless to me. "

I HAVE DONE IT I NOW HAVE BEATEN EVERY ZELDA GAME MADE WAHOO! THIS IS A DAY OF GAMING HISTORY FOR ME! On the same note before this I dislocated my toe yesterday at a gas station. Was in so much pain unbelievable and was in the Emergency room for about 2 hours before they could see me! Thankfully my sis shared broken toe jokes with me that was funny and i had my 3DS to play Sonic Generations to keep my mind off of it. I'll never jump those stupid poles again! Arrrrgh! Whe"

The Oracle of Seasons/Ages are so much fun, both. They have great characters and a great little story each and both together. It is just a colorful simple game.

“I LOVED this game so much. Just the storyline and the fact that the game changes depending on what the season is made it one of my favorite GBC games.” read more
