Of all the handheld Zelda titles, the Oracle games are undoubtedly my favorites. I have lovely memories of sitting in the back of my parents’ car trying to figure out that infernal fetch quest on Crescent Island in Oracle of Ages, as well as spending a lot of time trying to get Maple to finally drop that…
It was a while before I was able to play either Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons. It was very hard to find; I looked on Amazon only to find ridiculous prices for the two games. I had given up hope until my 17th birthday, when my two amazing friends pitched in and found…

The Oracle games are arguably two of the most underrated games in the entire Zelda series. While each game shined individually, it was the unique ability to continue your progress in the second game through a linked game which made the two games feel like one massive adventure. Oh, and both games featured some pretty…

It was thanks to this wise move that, to my pleasant surprise, I recently saw this “Fact of the…
