just dropped two classic Zelda titles[/url] onto its Nintendo Switch Online platform.</p><p>The games include
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, both released for the Game Boy Color way back in 2001.

You don’t, however, need one of those fancy Expansion Pack subscriptions. For the price, you also get access to plenty of other iconic Zelda titles from the NES and SNES days.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
