To me the Oracle series is actually weak... and I played mucho hours on it going from Ages->Seasons and vice versa. I dont know what it is, but the whole "Capcom" Zelda games such as Ages/Seasons just seem way too linear.

All Zelda games are of course somewhat linear, but they generally get to a point where you really are kind of on your own to find your way and revisit and explore previously unreachable areas with new items. But the Oracle series.. it just seems to lead you on a path through the entire game. You get an item, and that item allows you to go to a particular section on the map. Then once you're done with an area, you rarely need to go back there for anything. I may be wrong, but that feeling stayed with me throughout the entire Oracle games.

Now that there seem to be no more planned Zelda releases for GBA I might have to break down and play one of the newer titles (/looks uncertainly at dusty copy of Majora's Mask).
Well the one for the DS is coming out.. now that one I'm looking forward to!
