    I played them in the last ten years, and they’re quite good. The puzzles and combat are more challenging than Link’s Awakening. There’s some really clever new item interactions. And of course, the overworld itself is a puzzle that you solve with the the seasons and time warp items.

    Negatives: I think the music is quite bad in the Oracle games, and it got on my nerves. The dungeon design has less character overall than other 2D Zelda games (although there are several standouts that are great dungeons).

    They’re pretty long, and you would want to play through both of them to get the secret ending. Recommended for fans of 2D Zelda games, and Gameboy games generally.

    I’m hoping they eventually get ported to the modern 3D Link’s Awakening engine, but I wouldn’t be too sure about that ever happening. And in any case, I’m one of those weirdos who actually prefers Link’s Awakening on Gameboy.

      Actually, yeah, I heard the same about the music. Tbh, a lot of music from the GameBoy games just… don’t amount to much. And they’re too outdated whereas the games from the NES and SNES are much better despite being virtually the same tech.
