The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Oracle of Seasons opens up the same as Oracle of Ages, Link riding a trusty horse. Spying a castle on the horizon, he goes inside and recieves his quest to help a land being ravaged by the ruthless General Onyx. Link is teleported to the land of Holodrum and after a bit of exploring discovers a traveling troupe. After hanging around and dancing with the troupe's main attraction, Din, the sky becomes dark and General Onyx strikes. In the ensuing chaos, Din gets kidnapped, taken to Onyx's mountian fortress, and imprisioned inside of a crystal. As a result, the Temple of Seasons falls into the earth and the seasons of the land begin to become erattic.

Link embarks on a quest to save Din and restore order to the seasons of Holodrum. He learned from the Maku Tree that in order to penetrate to the center of Onyx's fortress, he needs to collect 8 items and a seed from the tree itself. Link sets out on this quest.

While in the process of visiting the dungeons, Link spies a shady character moving in the weeds. He continues to watch and the guy disappears. After some exploration, he uncovers a strange looking portal. Stepping on it, he is teleported to the lava-hot underground land of Subrosia.

Looking to his left, he sees the missing Temple of Seasons! Taking the season rod that he 'borrowed' from Din, he learns seasons from the temple that become useful in his quest to retrive the 8 season essences.

After finishing the last of the dungeons and serving Onyx and his evil dragon alter-ego the coup de grace, Din is released and the seasons become regular once again. But Link's Quest is not over yet. He feels a strange tingling sensation and has a strange thought:

'Nayru needs your help...'
