The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (Japanese: ゼルダの伝説 ふしぎの木の実 大地の章 "Zeruda no Densetsu Fushigi no Ki no Mi Daichi no Shō" lit. "The Legend of Zelda: Nut of the Mysterious Tree: Chapter of Earth") is the counterpart of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, another Game Boy Color game which was released at the same time. Although the game was originally released for use on the Nintendo Game Boy Color, it exhibits special features, such as additional items, when played on a Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

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 Onox. 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 mountain 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. He learned from the Maku Tree that in order to penetrate to the center of Onox's fortress, he needs to collect 8 items and a seed from the tree itself. Link embarks 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 Rod of Seasons that he borrowed from Din's now empty house, he learns seasons from the temple that become useful in his quest to retrive the 8 time essences.

After finishing the last of the dungeons and serving Onox 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:

'Din needs your help...'
