Zelda Oracle of Ages & Seasons Are the BEST Games At The WORST Time

- Every so often there will be a game that comes into our lives at just the perfect moment. Sometimes, on very rare occasions, you even get 2 games at once at just the right time to change your life forever. For me, such a special moment of my life happened when I first played The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Ages.

Hello there! its almost like we planned to release on the same day at the same time, what a coincidence....
Oh shoot! You made a video today too about the EXACT same topic...how weird is that?!
@@Zerbraxi Clearly we are in the Matrix.... Or whatever the Zelda lore version of that is. Shrine of resurrection ? 😅 LINK IS NEO!
"Time is our most valuable resource"... I dunno I have a sealed copy of Twilight Princess HD. That is worth quite a bit
Lol!! Damn, maybe you did find something more valuable than time.
Hate when someone messes with the time stream and forces me into slavery for hundreds of years
Oracle gang rise up
I still genuinely consider these to be peak 2D Zelda. I know most people tend to point more towards Link's Awakening for GBC Zeldas, but I always view it as the difference between Pokemon Gen 1 and Gen 2 - Gen 1 and LA are more famous, but Gen 2 and Oracles are more polished and there's just *so much* going on in those little cartridges. I replayed them late last year and it's still crazy to think about all the stuff to do, even before passwords.
Interesting comparison because I feel pretty much the same.
And just like Gen 2, as cool as some of the ideas were, they weren't the most practical thing to work around as a kid. Luckily I had friends who were into both Pokemon and Zelda to experience it with.
For me the pair are second only to Minish Cap, where I feel Capcom just made the most polished and charming handheld Zelda. The Oracle games though are the most ambitious games to release between OOT and BOTW imo. MC tops either individually for me but the linked game experience is unmatched.
Even just that secret GBA shop, added nothing of substance but to have a GBC cart with a feature only accessible on the next generation handheld just feels like Capcom flexing how crazy they were allowed to get with this project.
Can't say which one is better Seasons or Ages, they are equally special to me. By the way it takes guts to say what you said. It helped you cope with life as did the same video games did with me. Keep up the great work bro!
It's definitely a tough choice. I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad someone else was also touched by these games. Many people are afraid to be vulnerable online, and myself as well for sure, but it's a part of life and it's something that I can hopefully add that's unique to the "video game youtube scene" as well as hoping that it helps someone know they aren't alone in all of this.
Damn shit got real. Was not ready for young Zerbraxi's Gara origin story. Go off Kazekage.
Lolol!! It's definitely really odd opening up a bit more. Hope it didn't come off too edgy. I didn't have it as bad as Gaara. He had it terrible. I actually love that character.
@@Zerbraxi I mostly meant like how you were a bully as a kid and gara was a bad guy in the early seasons (he bullied rock lee!) but then had a redemption arc and became a good guy
@Jake Middleton ahh yeah, in that light then I definitely have some similarities to Gaara.
These Oracle games really deserve a remake, no questions asked!!
If Links Awakening happened then these could be next
Oracle of Ages is still one of my favorites. Loved playing it on GBC way back when I was a child. The people who worked on these later on became big part of BotW too. Been starting to follow you lately, great content. I can relate a lot with the first minute or so of this video, I think that's how all people who consider themselves "hardcore gamers" become so for similar reasons. That was rather personal and I found it very empathetic and self aware from yourself to address it that way. Keep up the good job. Tunic is absolutely fantastic and I hope more people play it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Vulnerability is always scary but I hope it helps at least one person out there.
I didn't know that about Breath of the Wild. That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing that.
This video has actually convinced me to give this game a good try, judging by it this proofs that as long as a platform can carry the experience, games can be timeless works of art.
Greatly enjoyed BotW on my first playthrough,, but didn't enjoy it at all when I tried it later, though the adventuring appeal is obvious.
Loved learning more about Zerbraxi through this video, it's uncommon but helps to give context to what is otherwise a blank source of entertainment.
Tunic's on my long list of games to eventually try, it's not quite my genre but this might change, I am aware of it's greatness.
@@WyvernDotRed I've always wanted to not only entertain people, but also help them through life's crazy hardships. Especially when it comes to childhood trauma since so much of that is often experienced while you have such little agency over your life. It can be immensely difficult to overcome. I mean there is still SOO much for me to heal from still, but I hope that if at least one person is inspired or encouraged to overcome their own pain, if I can help 1 person do that, then it was all worth it :)
Funny how our experiences with Breath of the Wild are flipped. Kinda funny to me. If you do end up playing through the Oracle games, or Tunic, I'd love to hear thoughts in discord as you experience them.
Got ages back in 03 when i was 7 i played it daily my entire life and i have the entire game memorized from every dungeon cave item everything and its tied eith majoras mask as my 2nd fav game of all time
Tied for 2nd? You know i have to ask what your favorite is then right?
@@Zerbraxi twilight princess
Thank you for talking about your experiences with these games. I enjoyed them a lot as a kid, and it was fun to relive them a little by listening to you!
You're very welcome and I'm so glad I could help in such a way, even if just a little bit.
Awesome Video! So glad I stumbled across your channel.
Thank you! I'm glad you did too!
Just discovered your channel, it’s great! Keep up the good work
Thank you! Will definitely keep giving it everything I got :)
Loved this retrospective!
Thanks!! I'm glad to hear that.
Always making great stuff my dude. Really appreciate mentionig these zelda games, not much folk talk about em
They deserve WAY more attention than they get. Honestly, the handheld Zelda games deserve way more recognition in general. Link's Awakening gets some good coverage but that's about the only one which is quite a shame.
@@Zerbraxi yea man they are just *chefs kiss* I wish there was a big console release on that. You mention people talking about it and kingk(another youtuber) dropped like a 3 hr video of reviewing Zelda hand held games
@@PringleTheOne Yeah I saw he just dropped a compilation of ALL of his handheld Zelda videos. He makes incredible stuff. He's a terrific storyteller.
6:17 - just finished the linked version of these games (and Oracle of Ages for the first time) and I find it funny that Twinrova calls Oracle of Seasons' boss "Knox" and not "Onox" in this final ritual 😅
Wait! Really! Oh darn I didn't catch that. That's so funny
I had both, and also helped me through some tough times.
Video games are awesome huh
enjoyed your energy sir, nice video.
Thank you! 😊
The magnetic glove is soo fun to use. I also really like Ricky and Dimitri. Moosh not so much.
The magnet glove lets you do SOOO many tricky things. It's such a blast! The noise is absolutely ear piercingly agonizing but the gameplay makes up for my blown out ear drums.
@@Zerbraxi yeah the noise is painful
I like how often you use Legend of Dragoon music. That is one of my favorite games of all time.
Big same! It's definitely become a running thing on the channel to mention Legend of Dragoon as much as I can.
good vid. These games really are something special. I honestly don't even think it's the nostalgia speaking when I say that these games hold a good majority of the top 10 best Zelda dungeons in the entire series.
The dungeons are brilliant and truly push the Game Boy Color to its limits. So much clever design in almost all of them.
Bully zerbraxi!!!! We need him back. Nah in all honesty i had the same problem when i was younger as well. I just didnt bully others was just mad all the time with no reason why. Glad i calmed down over the years. Love the video as always. Ill always be around and to help hunt games youre looking for. 😂
Gonna be a blast when we can go on a hunt together.
One we shall and it will be glorious.
As one of your “200” I’d like to say that I enjoy your content and gaming tastes and am glad I found the channel somehow. I have no idea how to crack the TH-cam system of course, but I’d just like to advise you to keep your unique style and not try emulating others’ humor or editing .. and here’s to hoping for 200,000!
That is so kind of you. I'll definitely keep going and always try to be as authentic as possible. Thank you so much for watching and commenting as often as you have. It means so much to me.
That count is just a number that doesn't mean much, just what the heartless algorithm "thought" of the video's metrics.
It's the quality of the interactions that make these things special, which looking at the comments here and chats in the Discord, is among the best.
And as you said, there still is an audience spending their free time to watch these videos, on relatively smaller scales TH-cam is a platform for such niche content.
The authenticity and unique humour is what kept me around here, while I have left many superficially similar channels to the will of the algorithm.
@@WyvernDotRed It's so funny just how much numbers can resonate with our minds despite logically understanding how weightless they are. It's why I pointed it out in the video here because it was a way for me to "immortalize" those thoughts directed at myself. You've been absolute blast to engage with here, on discord, and recently in stream. I do love getting people's perspectives and it's fun when you and I see things from totally different angles. It makes everything so much more interesting.
I also love that you snuck in the word "scales" in your comment. I'm sure it was unintentional but there was still a dragon pun in there somewhere after all lol!
An upload on my birthday? Aaaww you didn't have to! 🥳
Happy birthday!!! I hope it's a good enough gift.
Have a great day today. 😊
@@Zerbraxi Thank you! Yeah I'm enjoying my video keep doing those!
Ages is a little melancholy yeah
Ya...just a little.... lol
Whoo! Good job taking him down.
I did it!!! A life long mission complete. I can finally sleep at night.
I wish we had the third oracle game even if it was a different mechanic to what was given to oracle of ages.
I too just want more of the Oracle games.
Have to support random ginger gamer😁 Nice Video
Thank you so much!
For the 3 GBC Zeldas I'd rank them best to decent
Link's Awakening DX
Oracle of Seasons
Oracle of Ages
I personally never cared for the dungeons in these games. There's some good ones like Face Shrine, Turtle Rock, and Unicorn Cave, but most of the rest just aren't as strong.
I mean it when I say that Mermaid's Cave is one of my absolute favorites. I think I still have a Top 10 Zelda Dungeons video from like 10 years ago on the channel and it was in that list. However, I have a CRIPPLING Zelda problem I need to address some day....Please don't hate me...I've still never finished Link's Awakening....
@@Zerbraxi The only cure for Zelda addiction, is more Zelda.
* Tsk tsk tsk * You should have known better then to buy that so-called authentic ocarina from that shady guy selling it for 60 rupees in the back alley.
He seemed like such a nice guy! How could someone which such a smile scam me like that?!
@@Zerbraxi You answered your own question. 😁
Is the mermaid swimming in OoX as bad as they say?
I know some people hate it. The guest in this video is one of them for example. Personally, it's just that you just keep tapping to move. Once you know that it's not bad at all, at least to me. I kinda have fun mashing the button especially when I'm in a panic.
Until today, I have never beaten the final boss. I have both games and used the password, but I didn’t figure out how the beat the boss
But you say "until today" so you did it now?! If so, congratz!
To be fair, it also took me like 20 years to beat him so.... LOL.
Do you really not have a link cable?
...embarrassingly I dont... 😞
@Zerbraxi I will do some digging, I'm pretty sure I have 2 and I've only ever used 1 once back in elementary when I was playing yellow for the 1st time so I could trade with myself cause I had an OG brick Gameboy and a color I got for Christmas but 0 friends 😂 I'll keep you posted
If I find it, its yours.
⏳12:27 🧠Video 🎮🌈Games🎨 are ✨Magical🪄 & 50% sometimes Lifetime’s changing in real world reality too, 🤔somehow🤷🏾♂️ 🧐wise😮!?
I'm not entirely sure what this comment is saying but I can at least get behind the "video games are magical" part
Oh crud, i cant just use the password? I have them on the 2DS.
You can use a password instead of linking. Totally fine.
@@Zerbraxi Yeah I tried it. It works great! And it's not as horrendously long as Golden Sun
17:40-17:48 That’s clearly not a guy. In the game other characters call her a she. o.O
Ya know....I have absolutely no idea why I said "he". They have a bow on their head and you even know it's a girl from Seasons directly. Hell, I even used the song "A Date With Rosa" in the background at that part...
The mistakes you still miss after working on this for so long lol
@@Zerbraxi lol
first!!!!!
I'm so proud of you!
“Climate change” and “why isn’t Zelda a girl boss”. Yeah I’ll pass on the rest of the lecture.
What?
