When Nintendo announced earlier in the year that it was adding Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance libraries to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog, it confirmed that the beloved GBC duo of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons would also be added to the service down the line. The wait for that is now over.

Nintendo has announced that The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons are now available in the Nintendo Switch Online library. With Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles being part of the service’s base subscription, that means all subscribers, not just those subscribed to the costlier Expansion Pack, can now access the game.

The library of Zelda titles playable on the Switch continues to grow as well. Also playable on the platform across the Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack libraries are The Legend of Zelda and Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link for the NES, A Link to the Past for the SNES, Link’s Awakening DX for the Game Boy Color, Minish Cap for the Game Boy Advance, and Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask for the N64. Meanwhile, the Switch’s own native library includes Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Skyward Sword HD, and 2019’s Link’s Awakening remake.

Now, if only they’d bring The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess to the Switch, right?

Video games have gone through their share of changes and evolutions over the years. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to look back and appreciate the games of old which either shaped genres as we know them today or provided unforgettable experiences. So two decades later, let’s take a look back at 15 of the best games from 2001.

Halo: Combat Evolved

From being a third person shooter on the Mac to a first person shooter exclusive to Xbox, Bungie’s IP saw its fair share of changes. When it debuted, it presented incredible gun play, well-crafted missions and large sandbox-like levels that rewarded all kinds of play-styles. All of this along with Marty O’ Donnell’s stellar score turned Halo into a juggernaut and Microsoft into a venerable gaming force for years to come.
