The game features more combat and less puzzle-solving than its sister title, Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Its mechanics and menus are similar to those found in the original Zelda Game Boy game--this is classic overhead role-playing at its best. The key item in this game is the Rod of Seasons, which allows Link to change seasons at will. For example, an impassable lake becomes a quick pathway to stroll by using the rod to change seasons from summer to winter.
Although this game is extremely enjoyable on its own, you'll want to use it in conjunction with Oracle of Ages. After you complete one game you'll be given a password that can be used in the other to enable you to begin with all your items, statistics and progress intact. Certain characters will appear only when you play both games, and by using a link cable, players can trade items. Game Boy Advance users will find a store that's exclusive to them.
This is one of the best Game Boy titles ever, though it may not appeal to younger players or those looking for an undemanding game. --Raymond M Padilla, Amazon.com
