#Color oracle review full#
The various seasons play out in full Technicolor and even Link seems to shine a little brighter against the panoply of hues. Of the two, Seasons is also the more vibrant graphics-wise. This provides for a good deal of extra gameplay (including cameos by favorite Zelda characters who have not yet appeared in either game), making the two games an even better buy. Of course, Seasons is able to link with Ages, as described in the other review. I won't give away details of either battle, but be warned - This guy can wear out your thumb. But I have to say, Onox is superior to Veran in many ways. In general, the Dungeons are a bit easier to solve and the Bosses a smidge easier to fell. The one element that is perhaps more difficult about Oracle of Seasons is the final Boss fight. It is a bit better as an introductory game. But if you buy them both (and this is highly recommended), play Seasons first. If you were to buy one of the two, that is the one I would suggest. If I were to pick which of the two games is more difficult, I would say Ages. The Mystical Seeds add an extra little boost to the quest, making the adventure even more fun to unravel. Equip them in the Slingshot to make these magic nuts projectiles to shoot at foes. They give Link the ability to shoot fire (Ember), attract beasts (Scent), solve clues (Mystery), go faster or freeze enemies (Pegasus) and warp around the map (Gale). All of the Mystical Seeds are here as well. As the quest progresses, you'll get a steerable version of the boomerang, which is quite helpful in some of the later Boss fights. Another item that isn't available in Ages is the classic boomerang, which allows Link a long-range attack (and an ally in tripping hard-to-reach switches). Some of the best puzzles in the game revolve around mastery of this ingenious device. When worn, Link can attract and repel metal. The coolest of these is the Magnetic Glove. It would be madness! Insanity! Like Ages, Oracle of Seasons also boasts a couple of brand new items, which can be obtained while battling through the eight Dungeons hidden around Holodrum. I shudder to think what would happen if they ever combined these games, putting both the Rod and the Harp in play at the same time. The map and its contents are altered slightly each time the season changes, allowing Link access to new areas, new items and more adventure. Like the Harp in Oracle of Ages, the Rod of Seasons adds a new dimension to gameplay.

The "gimmick" to Seasons lies within the Rod of Seasons, a magical sceptre that is capable of altering the environment. The quest unfolds with whimsy and wit, and more than a little suspense. It's up to Link to save the land! While this story won't win any awards for originality, it is simple but elegant. According to his plan, Holodrum begins to fall to ruin. He imprisons Din within a crystal and places her atop the Temple of Seasons. His evil hope is that by doing this, everything will rot and fall to darkness. Using the Oracle's power over the change of the seasons, Onox hopes to throw Holodrum into chaos by jumbling the order of seasons. Onox, the General of Darkness, arrives and kidnaps Din, the Oracle of Seasons (and quite a good dancer, to boot). Just as everyone's favorite Hyrulean hero Link shows up in the land of Holodrum, so do the forces of evil.
