Heh feeling a bit wheeling for hitting the gas on a GBA Zelda lot on eBay when the Analogue can play GBC games natively. Did zero research.
The experience is arguably worse since there’s a fixed border around the GBC while Analogue can play GBC natively. Oh well.

They don’t. These are reproduction cartridges and not official.

I think they trick the GBA into thinking it’s a GB cartridge (it has a built-in GBC “emulator”).

Perhaps but they are definitely not official cartridges.

So admittedly I bought all of these off eBay having done zero research. They’re all bootleg? If so, the physical quality is very good, but it could explain why Link’s Awakening won’t keep a save.

Yes they all look bootleg to me. If you compare the sticker online you will most like find subtle differences. You can also open the case and look at the board which will tell you for sure if they are real or not.
Also Links Awaking and both Oracle games never released on GBA they are all GB/GBC games.
Links Awaking had two releases. The original Links Awaking is a GB game for the original Gameboy and Links Awaking DX is a game for the GBC with extra features and colour support.

Whelp kicked off an eBay return. Thanks all for the advice. $60 for 5 original games was definitely too good to be true.
