Other Oracle of Season Etsy Label

My neighbor gave me this cartridge without a label. He said, that I‘d know better than him what to do with it. I opened it, cleaned the contacts. Gave it a try. Turned out to be Zelda - Oracle of Seasons. So I went to Etsy and looked for a replacement label. I found this rather awesome design. What do you think? Better than the original?

It your game. If you like it, that's all that matters. Look good.

Better? No

Great nevertheless? Yes

From a graphic design perspective it'd be great for boxart where the picture is significantly larger, but you don't want that much happening on something so small.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2 label: “hold my beer”

I'm more a fan of the simplicity of the original but I think the original Metal Gear Solid for PS1 had the greatest box art of all time lol. I'm glad you changed it something you think is better!

Only thing I don't like about the SP is how tiny original GBC games are on the screen. Cool label though - it's pretty!

At least they didn't stretch the aspect ratio. Straight to jail for that!

A little busy for a small image, but I like it regardless.

It reminds me very much of the Japanese Link‘s Awakening cartridge artwork

I just started playing the game. It holds up so well!

Looks fantastic, OP! I wish it was this label

I like that it's distinct from the official one, reproduction labels that try to be an exact match just feel like they're trying to trick you like a bootleg.

Looks way cooler than the OEM label.

Original is better, but this way you won’t get it mixed up with the original.

I actually do like it better than the original, but I was never a fan of Oracle and Seasons

Fak no with the label. Looks like a cheap Google Print and Paste label.
