Can you describe what the main differences are between Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons?
Different map, different dungeons, some different items, different plot but converging plot.
Ages is more puzzle-based while Seasons is more combat based
Is the combat in Ages not as good or does it just take a backseat to the puzzles?
Backseat. The bosses aren’t as good, like in Seasons the third boss is that Mothra thing from ALTTP, in Ages it’s some dark witch that can split herself or something.
Much appreciated. It sounds like I'm going to like Seasons more than Ages, but I'm going to play both anyway. I'll play that one first then Ages after.
That's the ideal way, there is more drama at the end of ages that ramps up to the end of the series better than ages to seasons.
They’re both great and the save-combo system is really neat. I forgot what was what but I’m pretty sure doing seasons first lets you 100% ages.
Opposite. If you do ages last you can't complete the map in the past if I'm not mistaken.
Ok yeah I mixed it up. Just remembered running into it but I haven't played these games since 2002 so didn't remember which version it happened in.
I had to do this for a friend.
It's literally the same, but combats are more frequent.
They have the same combat, it's just that seasons will more often give you encounters that challenge your ability to fight, ages still has plenty of combat but it attempts to have a more puzzle oriented focus with its content
entirely different world maps and world effects past/present, 4 seasons
ages has two maps past and present Labrynna and underwater sections for both.
seasons has Holodrum in four flavors of each season as well as subrosia.
ages is focused more on puzzles some of which are good some of which are ass.
seasons has more bonking shit with the things you pick up in dungeons.
I say play seasons if you don't care much about zelda it's an excellent 2D zelda and even began as a modern remake of the original. Die hards and big zelda fans should play both because rarely do I see myself in a position to recommend playing ages.
one of the bosses in ages is a push block puzzle that you need to feed them into rejoining into something you can hit.
if you have the nintendo online thing and can play them just play them if you got nothing better to do.

This. Play seasons and if you're itching for more take your code from the end of the game and play Ages.
I should have included the item differences but based on OP they must imagine it's a pokemon red a blue situation which it very much is not. I like the items a lot more in seasons for fricking around with as the puzzle based items in ages are things like summon block, shoot seeds in 8 different directions, dive underwater.
frick this minigame even on original hardware it was complete dog ass for the timing I could not beat it and was hardstuck on a plane to California I had to use headphones and do it like 12 times. You don't even get a subrosia qt for the goron dance.
Almost all bosses have a gimmick puzzle to them. Not like the horrible "shoot the big glowing eye" puzzle, but a sequence of items or mastery of the dungeon item. Seasons has more straightforward bosses but ages can be tricky.
One of the bosses is literally block pushing
And he is literally the best boss out of any 2D Zelda game.
The seventh OoA boss is abhorrently awful for being such a late one.
They’re basically different games just made with the same engine. Ages is more about puzzles and has a time travel gimmick, Seasons is about combat and has a seasonal gimmick.
Ages filtered me as a child, Seasons didn't
Different map, story, items, characters.

Seasons is a good game
Ages is a shit game compared to Seasons
Despite the linked game being better going from Seasons to Ages due to a side story working out, Seasons should be pkayed second as paying it first will make you want to stop playing Ages
How? I ran through seasons and found the game straightforward and not a lot of things happen outside of the last three dungeons. While in ages it's a whole ordeal to get to the next dungeon. I like that more, but I'm dreading the trading game between crown and mermaids cave.
Yes, I'm aware the picture shows them on GBA instead of GBC and also has DS game boxes instead while not mentioning Capcom at all. Your point?
Ages had more and better minigames
Seasons was more actiony and exploration
Ages had way more in depth puzzles
Magic boomerang and cape vs seed shooter and cane.
I liked seasons more, less pausing to diddle puzzles.
Imagine not playing both and acting like they aren't one big continuous game
Seasons sucks dick. Obtuse progression between dungeons, dungeons suck and are little more than a sequence of enemy gauntlets
Ages is neat. Lots of cool dungeons and the way to get from one dungeon to the next is straightforward.
The greatest filter of all
Chad Ages players can remember more than three moves, unlike seasons players.
Iirc it wasn't that bad unless you wanted the biggoron sword, in which case it's like 16 moves and 2x as fast.
Is that the subrosian dance or Gordon dance? I'm replaying them so I forget.
It's pretty strict on timing, even on original hardware.
If you're emulating, make sure you've got a proper low-latency setup.
Only smog is puzzle based
the rest are shitty 'use the tool you just found' bosses
One cartridge is blue and one is red
> GBC game on a GBA cartridge in a Nintendo DS box
am i being baited or having a stroke
Yes
You're being bated, but technically it kind of fits in a weird way. ds is backwards compatible with gba, seasons/ages were forward compatible with gba, ds boxes have a slot for a gba cart in them.
Seasons has the best girl
Basically the same as the difference between oot and mm, you fricking idiot.
>DS game cases
>for GBA games
For GBC games
That's what people do for replacement GBA cases, since most DS game cases had spots for GBA games.
Literally everything
These were among the few games I played the shit out of as an autistic kid back in 2002 or so, finished them multiple times each, there was a code system at the end that allowed you to chain them both for hidden bonuses. Good shit.
Age has two maps and Season has four, basically.
yes
