The #Zelda franchise is celebrating its 40 anniversary.
But not only that. The beloved Oracle of Ages & Seasons is also celebrating its 25th.

On that note, @alexaugerdev.bsky.social is currently working on a really cool fangame, inspired by the Oracle series!

Thanks a bunch, my game is serving a pretty niche audience, so stuff like this helps a ton!

It's only available on Android and itch at the moment. I'd love to do a Steam release some day

I didn't read comics when I was younger, so this was my introduction to Mysterio, 10/10 boss fight!

Yes, last year I challenged myself to learn Godot (and made Frogboy!) this year I want to learn UE5

Thanks, I just was prototyping dungeon generation and the artist pitched me a dystopian horror theme
