If this happens, then millions of gamers around the world will have the chance to experience some of the most underrated entries in the series. If that happens, then the Oracle games will almost certainly be included, though they will likely arrive in a future update, with Link's Awakening DX being added at launch. There are rumors circulating regarding Game Boy games coming to the Nintendo Switch Online service in the future. All hope is not lost, however, as there is a chance that the Oracle games can come to the Nintendo Switch. The window of opportunity for buying these games is closing, however, as the Nintendo 3DS' eShop is due to close in March 2023, and it has already become difficult to buy games on the service. The Oracle games were released near the end of the Game Boy's lifespan, but they are available on the Nintendo 3DS' eShop. The games could have their frustrating moments, such as the dancing minigame in Oracle of Seasons, or the obligatory bad Legend of Zelda water dungeon, in Oracle of Ages' Jabu-Jabu's belly, but they didn't detract from the overall experience. The two Oracle titles are very much their own games, with characters, stories, and worlds that are unique to them. Oracle of Ages had a much greater focus on puzzles in its dungeons, while Oracle of Seasons focused on combat. The Oracle games would turn out to be their own epic adventures, each with its own focus.

COLOR ORACLE OF SEASONS SERIES
The idea of splitting a game in two was popularized by the Pokémon series on the Game Boy and it's something that the series does to this very day, with the next entries being Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on the Nintendo Switch.

There were some developers who squeezed every bit of memory out of the Game Boy cartridges, and the Oracle games managed to tell a massive story over two games, through a system that linked the games together with codes. Each game was its own separate adventure, comparable in length to Link's Awakening, but the real selling point of the games was that they were connected. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons were released for the Game Boy Color in 2001. The Oracle games were developed by a studio called Flagship, which is a subsidiary of Capcom and also co-developed The Minish Cap. The Game Boy Color featured The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, which are among the best entries in the series, yet they rarely get their due, at least compared to the other Legend of Zelda games. The Legend of Zeldaseries has produced some of the greatest video games in history, many of which are commonly cited as the best of all time, including titles like Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild.
