The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages (ゼルダの伝説 ふしぎの木の実 ～大地の章・時空の章～ Zeruda no Densetsu: Fushigi no Kinomi ~Daichi no Shō/Jikū no Shō~?, lit. "The Legend of Zelda: The Mysterious Seeds ~Chapter of Earth/Chapter of Space Time~") are two action-adventure games in the Legend of Zelda series, developed by Flagship (a subsidiary of Capcom). They were released on February 27, 2001 in Japan, May 14, 2001 in North America, and October 5, 2001 in Europe for Nintendo's Game Boy Color handheld console. Both games were re-released on the Virtual Console for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on February 27, 2013 and in North America and Europe on May 30, 2013. The games feature a brighter color palette when played on a Nintendo Game Boy Advance in order to make up for the darkness of the screen, and a special shop is also made available.[3] After experimenting with porting the original The Legend of Zelda to the Game Boy Color, the Flagship team, supervised by Yoshiki Okamoto, began developing three interconnected Zelda games that could be played in any order. The complexity of this system led the team to cancel one game.
