Rather than being the same incarnation, the Zelda in Oracle of Ages and Seasons is the successor of the Zelda in A Link to the Past. She bears a striking resemblance to her, OoT Zelda, and Marin (depending on what she's wearing, as her physical appearance seems to be a cross of each of them. In terms of Hyrulean history, she is less recorded and well-known in comparison to them. But with her sacred power to foresee evil, perhaps there are certain adventures of hers left unspoken...

I got stuck on the 6th boss in Oracle of seasons before EOW came out and it looks like I might not be able to get past it, which is a shame because I've been on my "playing every Zelda game in timeline order" journey since June and I was just missing The oracle games, Link's Awakening, Albw and Zelda 1 and AOL (I don't have Triforce Heroes 😔).

I was not planing on replaying BOTW or TOTK but rather trying to 100% them.

I'm frustrated tho because everything was going so well until mahandla appeared 🫠

This week's Tune for Tuesday, an orchestral remix of "Tarm Ruins" as arranged by RebeccaETripp, is a great take on one of my favorite songs from The Legend of Zelda, Oracle of Seasons. On this date 23 years ago, both this game and its sibling Oracle of Ages were released in the USA, and while I enjoy both games immensely, Oracle of Seasons would go on to mark a major turning point in how I viewed myself as a gamer. Unsurprisingly, this is what inspired what would become my primary online handle LinkSeasonMaster and thus it felt only natural to pay tribute to the source of said inspiration.

THE LITTLE LEGENDS

This is a blog for sharing and spreading love for the smaller Zelda games in the fandom!

For everyone crying over Spirit Tracks being forgotten, to people who wish someone else remembered the struggle to find a fourth player for Four Swords or sobbing at the end of online co-op for Tri Force Heroes – this is a home to join others in that love. Mainline and third-party Zelda games are all included!

The criteria for which Zelda games count as “small” is hard to quantify. To make things easier, we went by the numbers posted to Archive of Our Own, which has the option to disambiguate which game you’re writing for and is the current best-known fanfiction site. From there, we removed some things to try and narrow it down to core game fics and picked everything that was under 1000 works.

The resulting list of Zelda games is as follows:

CDI games = 14

Zelda cartoon = 29

Cadence of Hyrule = 50

Tri Force Heroes = 51

Oracle of Seasons = 76

Oracle of Ages = 85

Zelda II: Adventure of Link = 93

Zelda (1986) = 180

Spirit Tracks = 183

Phantom Hourglass = 191

Link’s Awakening = 256

Link to the Past = 260

Minish Cap = 290

Four Swords = 359

Four Swords Adventures = 423

A Link Between Worlds = 587

Wind Waker = 739

Some of this will be a case of poor tagging, and things winding up in the wrong place. (eg. Four Swords has 1200 entries, but upon removing all Four Swords Adventures or Manga story tags it reduces to 359.) Others may not be here at all because nobody has posted it under it’s own name vs a related game or “& Related Fandoms.”

While this means these numbers are not absolute, they still represent the problem: it’s hard to find content for your favourite games if it's in the list above, and we want to fix that!

WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL?

The event we’re planning is very chill, very low-stakes way of building up interest and knowledge, and then collecting and sharing fanworks produced.

The event month will be AUGUST, 2024.

Every few days in August we’ll make a post for each game on the list (and any bonus games that were highlighted alongside the main ones), which people can reblog with a link to the fanwork they created! You can also make your own posts and tag the blog plus the game of the day but we cannot promise to see and reblog everything.

In the lead-up to August, we will be doing round-up posts for each of the above games.

Some will be doubled up and treated as “bonuses” due to their small pool of fans (CDI, the Cartoon), and if there are some we don’t know about we may take them on as suggestions!

Each of these initial game posts will include basic stats about the game: when they were released, on what hardware, where you can find them now, and what their story was. It will also include links to a walkthrough or two, for those without access to the necessary hardware.

The purpose of these posts is to be shared!

Reblog them with your favourite artwork, current fanworks you love and adore, your favourite AU they’re featured in! Share the lore you wish everyone knew, and the characters who get forgotten!

Share prompts you’ve never gotten around to using, or ones you don’t feel competent to handle!

Do not feel bad about doing this! Every exchange or event I’ve been in, people desperately wanted prompts and ideas to spark their own imagination!

The goal is for people to learn more about games that they may have never heard of before, or not had the time or ability to engage with in full on their own. And from there we can push up those numbers on AO3 for everyone to enjoy!

The scheduled games to be “main” features of this event, and their respective introductory dates, are as follows:

May 5th = Minish Cap

May 12th = Zelda II: AoL

May 19th = Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons

May 26th = Cadence of Hyrule

June 2nd = Phantom Hourglass

June 9th = Four Swords Adventures / Four Swords [Game]

June 16th = Link’s Awakening

June 23rd = Zelda (1986)

June 30th = Link to the Past

July 7th = Tri Force Heroes

July 14th = Spirit Tracks

July 21st = Link Between Worlds

July 28th = Wind Waker

Exact dates for the posting schedule of new fanworks in August will be released soon!

Due to the difference in design and relationships (such as not knowing Link, for example), I imagine the Zelda seen in Oracle of Ages and Seasons is a different one than the one in A Link to the Past. She is more than likely grouped with her later on due to being closer in generation than many of her counterparts usually are to each other.

Post game, I imagine she becomes good friends with Ralph and the Oracles - to the point where Link feels the need to play the "chosen by the Triforce" card to go on important expeditions with the group in the future. Zelda doesn't mind, of course! Impa actually encourages they spend more time together, as there's a lot they can teach one another. Zelda can help Link to understand the Triforce, and Link can teach her about the past of Labrynna!

Oracle games my beloved

Another update, I beat Misery Mire and got halfway through Turtle rock last night, I've just beat Turtle Rock and I have only Ganon's Tower left and the bonus dungeon, but I don't know if I should leave the Palace of the Four Sword for after I've beaten Four Swords.

Anyways, hopefully I'll be done today and can get started on Oracle of Seasons.

So, I started replaying the TLOZ games in timeline order back at the beginning of June, so far I've beaten SS, MC, (skipped FS because it's multiplayer)OOT, MM, TP, WW, PH, ST and I'm currently playing ALTTP and I'm stuck trying to beat the boss at the Dark Palace, I also started playing FS with my brother but he's super inconsistent about playing on the switch.

I really want to finish playing all the games from the downfall timeline before EOW comes out but seeing how stuck I get on the bosses in ALTTP i might not be able to do so.

Also I wasn't even planning on replaying BOTW or TOTK mainly because I have a shrine left in BOTW plus the master sword trial left to do and TOTK I still have a lot left to have it at 100%
