passage: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages
In early 1999, Yoshiki Okamoto, then head of Capcom's screenwriter subsidiary Flagship, proposed his idea of remaking the original "The Legend of Zelda" for the Game Boy Color to Shigeru Miyamoto, the game designer at Nintendo who created the series. Okamoto was eventually asked to develop six "Zelda" games for the Game Boy Color: two based on earlier installments and four original entries into the series. Okamoto wanted to release them in quick succession of four to five months, and held on to his concept of bringing the first game to the handheld console to make young children experience the merits of the original "Zelda", but also as a test for the development team to move on to a more ambitious sequel if it turned out to be successful.
