The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons is a Game Boy Color game that carries over much of the graphics from Link's Awakening. Surprisingly, much of the game engine is completely different and developed by Capcom. In it, the Oracle of Seasons, Din, is kidnapped by Onox, General of Darkness. Link must travel throughout both Holdrum and Subrosia to collect the 8 Essences of Nature, power up the Rod of Seasons, and defeat Onox.
This game has been attempted by various authors over the past 5 years. Finally, SwordlessLink, along with Tompa, who joined the project after dungeon 4, beat this legendary game in 1:25:57.22 primarily through the use of pitwalking, Pegasus Seeds, and enemy manipulation. Please see the authors' notes for more details.

You can watch the complete run played back on console.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons is one of two The Legend of Zelda games that were developed by Capcom and released concurrently in 2001, the other one being Oracle of Ages. This game starts with Link being called by the Triforce to the land of Holodrum, where he witnesses an evil knight named Onox kidnap a local dancer named Din and sink the Temple of Seasons into the Earth, throwing the seasonal cycle into chaos. It's up to Link to stop Onox and save Din with the help of the Rod of Seasons, a special item that allows Link to cycle through the seasons and change the landscape with a swing.
For this run, SBD opts to go for a different method of quickly beating the game by cloning roosters and using them to bypass the barrier that prevents Link from entering Onox's castle early. For details on how this glitch was achieved and the other tricks in this run, you can read the author's notes.

The movie file and YouTube and downloadable encodes include author's commentary in the form of subtitles.
