A difficult task to follow in the footsteps of the greats, Oracle of Seasons represents half of a diptych designed by Capcom – it was supposed to be a triptych, but technical constraints prevented it. It is undeniable that the title exudes an exceptional love for the franchise, so many references to all the previous opuses are made, both through very specific elements and in the level-design. It is with this knowledge and respect that the development team delivers a particularly engaging title, after the existential torment of Majora's Mask. Indeed, veterans of the franchise are generally on familiar ground, the great innovation of the title being the Sceptre of the Seasons, which allows you to switch from one to another, modifying the natural environment. While, similarly to Link's Awakening, the game's construction is fairly linear, the title is bathed in activities that feel abundant. Likewise, the dungeons are never transcendent, but are always particularly well designed, especially those after the Magnetic Glove. In fact, there is a very nostalgic charm to this opus: the soundtrack and the colour scheme are in keeping with this, delivering a serene Holodrum, despite the impending disaster. Some critics point out the rather high difficulty of the title, especially in the rather cryptic puzzles or paths; while I partially agree with the analysis, I acknowledge the title's attention to detail, which forces you to learn the geography of the place and to take an interest in the lives of the secondary characters. It seems to me that Oracle of Seasons is a game that pushes the player to take hold of the universe and make it their own. Two examples would be the Gacha, which requires you to return to a place previously explored – and therefore to have more or less memorised it – and Bipsom's quest, which traces his life from the cradle to adulthood. This quest is surely the best summary of the title: in the mirror of intranquility, heroic bravery; in the mirror of tranquillity, the cycle of life.
