The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

I can't name a gameboy colour game I like more than this.

these bosses are cheeks

amazing dungeons but the minigames and bosses are bad

A masterclass in 2D Zelda Dungeons, but I prefer Seasons overall due to the atmosphere. This feels like a massive puzzle game which is very cool but can feel somewhat one-note compared to the more action-packed Seasons.

love the guy holding up the middle finger on the cover

A massive improvement over Links Awakening in every way

echoing what everyone else said re: great dungeons boring overworld and insanely stupid story, but i do really love how they took the "puzzle oriented Zelda game" angle and committed to the bit immensely with almost every major required quest being some big stupid puzzle to supplement the dungeons too. the tokay island sucks balls objectively but it's really fun to figure it out
