Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages and Oracle Of Seasons will be coming to the 3DS Virtual Console in Japan, making a future western release very likely.
Both games were released on the same day for the Game Boy Color and are unique in that they weren't developed by Nintendo, but by Capcom.

Once both games are released, every main Zelda game in the series' history will be playable on current-gen hardware.
