Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games? (slrpnk.net)

Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.

I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.

I already got:

Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
... that's it

It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Seconding the Castlevania recommendations, and adding Chu Chu Rocket. Technically a Dreamcast game, but the GBA port added thousands of user created levels for an extensive amount of added gameplay.

Wow! I need to check that out myself!

It was a release game! It's amazing to me how many people don't know about it.

I'm a fan of the other two GB Zelda games, too. Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons. When I learned there was supposed to be a 3rd one, I always hoped it would come out some day. Alas, no. A lot of gameplay, especially for a GB game.
