** Another reason why the third ''Oracle'' game was cancelled was revealed in an interview with ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' (check the August 2000 issue). The developers realized that with three games, making a continuous story through three games that could be played in any order was a tall task indeed, and they also didn't know what order people would play them in (whether it was 1-2-3, or 1-3-2, or whatever).

* [[Everythings Better With Dinosaurs]]: A red Dodongo that you can ride to swim through fast currents. He can also eat enemies in one gulp. And you can pick him up and throw him to hurt enemies.
