The RetroBeat: Zelda’s Oracle games deserve some Link’s Awakening-style love

Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake for the Switch is the retro gaming event of the month. It’s a fantastic re-imagining of one of the best games in the series, at the same time showing off the timelessness of the original’s gameplay and design while showcasing adorable new graphics.

A lot of people love Link’s Awakening. My colleague Jeff Grubb regards it as his favorite game of all time. In the build-up to the release of the remake, I’ve seen other people express similar sentiments. I love Link’s Awakening, too. But amid all of the praise showering down on both the original and the remake, I keep thinking about a pair of other Zelda games: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.
