Classic Commercial: Oracle of Seasons and Ages

MasesFebruary 20th, 2010 by Mases

A sweet looking commercial that features both the Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. The 3d model that is used for Link just looks awesome and it resembles the artwork that was use for the game. Now, a 3d Zelda title with that type of look? You can’t possibly think this wouldn’t be sweet. You can check out several more commercials in our Zelda Commercials section.

This commercial is the kick-off of a complete revamp of the Oracle of Ages section of the site. In the past year or so, we’ve revamped the Oracle of Ages Enemies and the Oracle of Ages Trading Sequence. However, just a few days back, we worked on the Oracle of Ages Storyline and that is now available for your viewing pleasure. We are working on a few of the small guides for the game, in preparation for working on a brand new Oracle of Ages Walkthrough.

Oracle of Ages has been a favorite Zelda game of mine for quite some time, and I’ve really wanted to work on it for a couple years now. I never got around to doing it, as there always seemed to be other projects lined up that took my attention away. However, with an inevitable release coming for the Virtual Console, and my sudden urge to replay the game, I’ve decided now is the best time to start this long awaited project. Several of the other site staff members will be helping out in this group effort, and we hope to bring you fresh content for the game very soon!

Oracle of Ages doesn’t seem to get the credit it deserves in my book. I think it is one of the definitive hardcore Zelda titles out there, that has all the elements of what make Zelda my favorite video game series today. Ages offers what I think is the most extensive Zelda puzzles in the entire series, along with some of the highest difficulty level, and a very interesting and plot turning storyline. It really is a shame that it gets dismissed as being somehow lesser then many of the other games in the series. Perhaps it was due to it’s release being very late in the Gameboy Color life cycle, but it just seems not enough people ever played this title.

    I don't think it is a good idea to have a Link like that one now. It's already outdated, it would looks like a GameCube game.

    I love how the oracle games connected to each other but i felt seasons was scaled down unlike ages.

    Dang that's a sweet commercial! It even looks familiar somehow but I can't quite put my finger on it… anyways, I've seen a little bit of Ages too, and I must say it looks amazing. Sadly, I never played it, but I probably won't be able to say that for much longer! :)

    i saw that on youtube once and kept thinking about it until it got to the point where i thought i dreamed it up. but other than than its a pretty dang comercial.

    Awesome commercial. The lips were kinda weird though.

  • greg

    dang good i mean sorry

  • Tailskirby6

    o.o Good commercial, but… What the heck was up with those lips at the end? '=_=

    Disembodied lips were kinda trendy back around this time. Dairy Queen often had talking lips in their commercials for instance, and you gotta remember how some of Nintendo's other marketing attempts were progressing at the time. This was the era where we saw stuff like "This game stinks." to describe and actually sell EarthBound, as well as the talking red bulldog who sold, what else, Red Dog beer.

    As for the commercial itself, I remember seeing it on TV back in the day. I can't remember if I actually got the game before or after I saw the commercial, but I can say it didn't affect my decision one way or the other. I liked the way it looked, the vocal chanting in the background, and while it may seem "dated" by today's standards, it was by no means bad looking for its time. It reminds me a bit of the show Reboot, and I can honestly say that a Zelda game with that sorta look wouldn't be a bad game by any means.

    This commercial's pretty good.
    I kinda like the Japanese commercials for the oracle games more though. They showed a bit more gameplay from the actual game as well as had 3-D that fit more the style of the game (and that was more dynamic).

    Also, this uses Ocarina of Time Link. I always thought it was a bit weird that they did that but I guess they were trying to be more mature.

    Throughout this awesome pattern of things you’ll receive a B+ for hard work. Exactly where you actually confused everybody ended up being in all the particulars. As it is said, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be more true here. Having said that, permit me tell you precisely what did do the job. The article (parts of it) is highly persuasive and that is probably the reason why I am making an effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, despite the fact that I can see the leaps in reasoning you make, I am definitely not confident of how you seem to connect your ideas which inturn make the final result. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your point however wish in the future you connect your dots much better.
