The house of Mario is getting ready to bring the classic The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons games to the Nintendo 3DS’ Virtual Console. This news surfaced via the recently added Zelda portion of the Wii U’s MiiVerse after series’ producer Eiji Aonuma took to the forums to inform users of the games’ impending arrival. Aonuma’s MiiVerse postings, first spotted by Game Informer, reveal that the both games will be hitting the 3DS before Summer arrives, and they’ll both be able to interact with one another if gamers purchase them both.
You can catch Aonuma’s official MiiVerse message below:
Both vintage titles are two games that consumers have been anticipating on the 3DS ever since the portable was confirmed to support the Virtual Console format, so their arrival will hit home with those looking to become reacquainted with Ages and Seasons. They’ll be arriving prior to Summer’s arrival too, so fans won’t be forced to wait all that long — although an exact date would’ve been much appreciated.
“The “Link System,” which connects the two games, allows you the enter passwords, or “secrets.” Completing one of the games earns you a secret. Entering that secret in the other game lets you continue the story with the same character name and some of your items. Secrets earned while playing the second game can be used in the first game to unlock more items. There are many other variations including a different final boss battle and an extra hidden dungeon.”
“We hope you’re looking forward to linking up with these classic games! Thank you!”
