Seasons>Ages. That is all
For dummies maybe
>>342465731
Thanks reddit
I'll let your wife's son know your tastes.
>>342465731
LA>Oracles
Correct.
Yeah I prefer playing seasons>ages too
...But I really enjoy queen ambi's and the captain's tender moment when playing ages > seasons.
>>342465764
Thanks friend
>>342465767
Probably have to agree with you here
>>342465781
I want to do things to the creature on the right.
>>342465767
Please The oracle series perfected LA's gameplay and then some.
Honest question. did anyone manage to figure out the eye of deceit on their own?
>>342465731
I agree.
Doesn't really matter, though.
>>342465767
Straight nostalgia factor.
S&A were twice the game LA was. Literally. They were two complete games and both were better than LA.
>>342465731
What a fucking faggot
Which is objectively cooler?
Changing the weather or travelling through fucking time?
Plus Ages final boss isa fucking qt
>>342465767
I'm like halfway through Ages and I'd probably agree. Kinda getting burnt out fairly quickly though, the game is great but something about it is preventing me from really getting hooked to it.
>>342465731
>Not seeing them both as one game
>>342465731
Din > Nayru
Seasons > Time
Onox > Veran
Ages dungeons > Seasons dungeons
Ages bosses > Seasons bosses
Holodrum > Labrynthia
Male Deku Tree > Female Deku Tree
Moosh > Ricky > Dimitri
Subrosia is cool as fuck and Ages has nothing to compare
Maple is cute, CUTE!
>>342466024
crown dungeon is shit! SHIT! what even is that music?
Luckily mermaid's cave is right around the corner.
>>342466043
>Male Deku Tree > Female Deku Tree
Objectively wrong. Veran is better than Onox too.
>>342465992
In real life, yeah, ages would be cooler. Gameplay wise, changing the seasons was much cooler
>>342466043
>>342466149
>deku trees
anons please
Ages is more frustrating to play compared to Seasons, but both games are very good.
Worth playing both and getting to Ganon and Twinrova.
>>342465781
...How the fuck did one of the essences of seasons end up in subrosia anyway
Sword and shield dungeon is bae tho.
>>342465767
Awakening>Ages>Seasons
>>342465731
>Farore will never get a game of her own
>The Sages will never return in a prominent role
I wish Nintendo would do something with them again. Like, I dunno, maybe make a game in which there are three possible endings depending on how you play, each linked to a specific Sage. Having multiple endings would certainly be unusual in a Zelda game.
>>342466024
>>342466123
I would love Ages and it'd be easily my favorite 2D Zelda but it has a low point in the middle starting with Crown Dungeon immediately followed by the Goron quests and the fucking alternating water-level dungeonwhich honestly isn't even that bad
>>342466364
>Worth playing both and getting to Ganon and Twinrova.
post yfw you first got to this
>>342466516
I liked mermaid's cave. It was a cool example of the past affecting the future...and making you wonder despite getting the essence in the past, where is/what happened to said essence in the future version.
>>342466043
I love Subrosia. No idea how Hell can be comfy but it is.
>>342466762
Probably because of the music, the npcs, and the fact that the area feels like a safe zone since most of it is a city.
>>342466516
yeah I just got to the Goron quest, I thought the lava dungeon was alright.
>>342465731
>you can play them in any order you want
>actually if you play ages first you can't 100% it
what a load of bullshit
>>342466447
>He doesn't know about the OoT alternate ending
>>342465731
I only played ages because I thought it was the same game twice like pokemon red blue
>>342467065
Skull dungeon? best theme out of both the games imo. would love to hear a modernized remix.
>>342467287
Fix this. NOW.
>>342467370
It's on my 3DS i'll play it eventually
>>342467309
Dancing Dragon doh
>>342467287
If Pokemon Sun/Moon were different like these games I'd buy 10 copies.
I guess Black and White at least sort of tried.
>>342467484
Meh not a fan. Honestly in terms of dungeon themes(and in general) Ages wins with skull dungeon, mermaid's cave, black towser exterior crescent dungeon and jabu jaby's belly. Ages themes really fit the mood/scene.
>>342466042
This is the only logical choice.
>>342465731
>Playing through Ages currently
I've been told this is the harder version, but so far I've breezed through it moreso than ages. Does it get harder in the second half of the game?
>>342467771
but those themes(and dugeons in general) are pretty forgettable apart from jabu-jabu's belly and that's only because of ptsd from scrubs
>>342467881
>Version
Let's start this off. Who best pet?
>Moosh master race
>>342468274
How did choosing pets without linking the games work again, linking them is how you got to have all 3 i remember, but without linking how did it work?
>>342467990
I can't remember any of the seasons themes aside from sword and shield and that pyramid like tower.
Crown dungeon is the only one I outright can't stand in ages.
>>342468274
Ricky is bestest buddy. dat hurricane punch and high bounce. Didn't know he was the default buddy in seasons at first so I went out of my way to get him in ages > seasons.
best flute theme of the animals.
>>342468484
Before you reach the area that requires the animal's help and changes depending on which animal you get, you have to obtain the flute of the animal you want. How you were supposed to know this is beyond me and most players just get stuck with whatever the game gives them.
>>342465731
Kangaroo > Dinosaur > Bear
Prove me wrong faggots.
>>342468274
Dimitri is the best.
>Ride a bear or Kangaroo
>Or ride a motherfucking dondongo
>>342465940
I did. Well, I played the games when it came out. And, as a young kid I don't have Internet access back then. I love ages more because of the puzzles. So, I managed to figure it out as well.
>>342468609
agreed crown dugeon was just shit, but in seasons, Dancing Dragon, Unicorn Cave, those ruins in the lost woods, and Crypt dugeon had good theme's. Fuck moth's lair though
>>342468834
No lies detected desu. Rickey can act as an shortcut in ages when you want to get the noble/master sword in the cliff under symmetry village/city without having to climb the mountain in the past since he can hump up the ledge.
>>342468834
Shouldn't Midna be a different race to Link?
>>342468791
that's what doesn't make any sense though, Season's pet meetings were all tied to progression. You couldn't get to the get to moosh with out getting to the city to meet dmitri, you couldn't get get to the flooded city with out first helping ricky and ricky was always the first pet to give you his flute because you need him to get to moth's lair, the choice is really only a thing for ages
>>342469538
Actually in seasons you could get Moosh and Dmitri through a round about method. If you had the members card for the shop, you got Dmitri, if you played the subrosian dancing game you got Moosh.
>>342469538
You always meet the animals once then get thier flute later on. Ages and Seasons both have areas that change depending on which flute you got prior.
>>342469102
He wasn't just a bear, he was a giant panda with wings
>>342469538
It's a choice for both games. the issue is that the alternate ways are so hilarious obscure.
>>342469264
Gross
>>342465731
I'd fuck Din from this game so hard.
N O
O
I'd make LOVE to Din from this game.
Call me a faggot but as a kid I always knew I wanted her to do something to my penis but never quite knew what.
>>342465731
Better question, which order is better?
Though given what anon says here, >>342467072, there may not really be a choice, though you can go through Ages again with the Linked Seasons completion, if I recall, as if you were doing Linked Ages. What was the problem with doing Ages first, exactly?
>>342469653
The next time I play through both I'm aiming for Dimitri and Moosh horns respectively. I've been curious to what their sections play like. Also how come can't have more friendly Dodongos to mount?
>Want to replay Oracle of Ages
>Remember Jabu Jabu's Belly
>>342470145
Oh something minor but still annoying. It's literally impossible to complete ages map without playing seasons first. Like 2 tiny squares or something if i'm not mistaken
Seasons is basically just a super cool remake of Zelda 1, and has some of the better "action" parts. Ages has an infinitely more interesting story though. It also has this stupid mother fucker which is a plus.
>>342470306
Moosh is basically trivialized in Seasons because you get the Roc's Cape, where as Dmitri you gotta toss him over holes and then jump over them and shit, so if you're super lazy Ricky is the best animal buddy.
>>342470502
One square in the middle of the ocean
>>342465767
LA has a slightly better plot, the ending is much more meaningful than the oracle endings. In gameplay I disagree.
>>342465992
Seasons worked better and was a bit more original.
>>342466042
>Not having a third game where you have to use the harp of ages and the rod of seasons together.
>>342468274
Moosh is the best looking but he's useless. Ricky is the most useful overall, Dimitri is cool and useful until you can swim.
>>342469264
It's true to the era the poster is emulating. Plenty of aliens and other creatures were just white people with a tiara or something.
>>342470548
Ralph looks...very flamboyant. serious contrast to how i imagined him ingame.
>>342470646
Dimitri can attack in water so he's still pretty useful. Plus he might be able to allow you to swim in the Ages Ocean before the Mermaid Suit, I forget.
I've never played the GB Zeldas, how well did theyAge?
Oracle games were originally going to be 3 games.
>Seed of Courage would have Farore as the oracle and involve puzzles based on the time of day
>Seed of Wisdom would have Nayru as the oracle and instead of time travel, the theme would be colors akin to LADX's color dungeon. The mystical tool would have been a brush and palette
>Seed of Strength would have been as-is assumably
>>342470771
All the NPC's in Ages were rad as fuck, it's to be expected considering they stole so much from Majora's Mask.
>>342470837
You get Dimitri after being ship wrecked though, you can still swim in the ocean but without being able to dive it's not too helpful.
>>342471090
I genuinely think all of the handheld zeldas are the best. They tried a lot more than most of the 3D zeldas did.
>>342466123
There is nothing wrong with its music!
>>342465767
>pick up acorn
>repeating shitty music ruins the game and makes you go insane
>>342471112
I always wondered what the overworld for the third game would have been like. I really can't imagine it feeling as natural as changing time or seasons.
>>342471090
No lie Seasons and Ages are as good or even better than most zeldas IMO. Easily near the top.
>>342471198
seriously? it reminds me of this gem except bad.

>>342471271
being a time-of-day puzzle game the overworld would have relied on shit like X only opening in the morning and Y only opening in the afternoon, or etc.
so like seasons but I guess more realistic in terms of the scope. Something like flowers used as platforms only opening up in the afternoon, or a path through a maze only being revealed at night with fireflies.

Finding out about two Zelda games I didn't have played before was nice. These games are so fucking good. I already wannna replay them thanks to this thread.
>>342465767I think the dungeon design in LA is superior to the Oracles but the wonky save system and being reminded of what fucking rock is whenever I bump into one seriously kills it for me

I think it'd be cool if Nintendo revisited the dual games concept for the next handheld Zelda, especially if they link them again and maybe take it a step forward with more features. I'd buy both if they each felt like unique, complete games.

The first time you run into her, she complains about flying through a vortex.

I don't exactly blame you, she is naturally lewd
>>342471352
Ages' track is very avant-garde! It's good!
I wonder why Capcom had a new soundtrack made for RE and that they thought that sounded okay. It's so goofy.
I finished ages yesterday, moving on to seasons
I hate some of the dungeons in Ages but as a whole package it's an amazing experience
Now, where the fuck is the palace of secrets in seasons?
>>342471865
Maybe it's her grandma in the past that also happens to have a crush on Link.
>>342473531

Such a shame it's only that small section.

>>342474582

>>342465731
arent they the same fucking game?
i only played ages and i thought they were like pokemon red and blue where theres only minor changes
Most of the Ages dungeons were simply atrocious compared to the Seasons ones, but the Ages overworld felt much more alive.
>>342475119
Two different games where if you use a password you get a "sequel" where characters from the first one you play show up
>>342465731
I count them both as each being half of same game. And they kinda are.
You need to play both to get the full story.
Anyway, I like Ages more because it's harder, I like the story better, the characters are overall better.
>>342475203
o fuk
guess i have to play seasons and replay ages
>>342474582
No!
Both are 10/10!
>>342465992
Obviously travelling through time is conceptually better, but it didn't play out like that in the games. Changing the seasons was so much more satisfying.
It's like how Dimitri is conceptually the best partner, but Ricky plays way better.
>>342475027
This was it.
Onyx took the temple of seasons and rammed it into the underworld using the power of the oracle
>>342475027
I uhh.....hmmm...i never thought that. That may be the case but the fact that it has that weird face and eyes that follow link around made me think otherwise?
>>342475252
>>342475456
Oh yeah sword and shield dungeon sinking then wouldn't make sense then considering how far apart it is from the the ruined of seasons.
>>342465767
Muh childhood. Accidental red sweater4lyfe. (I autistically just ran around the beach over and over just because I found it fun)
>>342465731
Was there a point to being able to use a link cable? I always just used the password system.
But fuck, I haven't played these since I was a kid. I still have that fucking cool strategy guide that's two-in-one, one side Seasons the other side Ages.
>>342475512
What, you wanna fuck that tree?The tree wants to fuck you in the game.
>>342475729
I caught myself thinking about buying both on eshop several times in this week.
Would be kinda cool to be able to 100% both on one system without cartridges.
>>342473939

I don;t know why.
>>342475729
>Was there a point to being able to use a link cable?
Not having to write down and input passwords. I recall it not being so bad in the Oracle games, but the Golden Sun games had the exact same system and was infinitely more long and tedious.
Seasons was more enjoyable overall, but Ages had the best song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti2xZQ1NQE4
Ages has waifu tree though.
>>342476605
You wouldn't fuck a tree
>>342476782
Oh I'd pollinate her all right.
>>342476495
senpai this is in seasons too. can't listen to it indefinitely but it's there.
Also this is objectively the best theme between the 2 games

>>342470037
She actually tries to get it on with Link in the credits but Triforce cockblocks him.
>>342477317
Then let me post the best song that is exclusive to ages then.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htEqF8ivllY
>>342475252
>half of the same game
Retarded. Both are full fledged games with shared assets.
funny thing about these games. one of the few(only?) that has no bow at all available...yet uses the arrow assets from LA.
>>342478148
There's the seed shooter. It works basically as the bow, with the added advantage of being able to ricochet the seeds off of walls.
>>342478148
>>342478265
Seed shooter and the slingshot also pretty much replace the fire rod.
>>342478462
And Magic dust. And Pegasus Boots...sorta.
>>342478462
shame ember seeds were nowhere near as broken as the rod. Shit destroyed bosses when you glitched to get it early as soon as you got the roc's feather.
>>342478265
>being able to ricochet the seeds off of walls
Fuck me man, I forgot all about that. Probably too hard to ever properly replicate in 3D, though it's been too long since I played any of the Zelda games to really recall if they did anything like that.. Just booted up Legend of Zeldafor the first timebecause of all the BotW hype.I'm pretty shit at it, both because it's been too long and I've stubbornly wandered into the third dungeon first and refused to turn back.
>>342477653
I don't know why it sounds to me like some castlevania music
>>342478781
I played zelda for the first time a little while ago.
Then this fucker right here stopped me in my tracks. I'm a fucking scrublord
In the oracles you have such arsenal to beat them that it's not even an issue. In TLOZ they are true assholes.
>>342465731
LA > Ages >= Seasons
Probably because I place disproportionate value on story/setting.
The Oracle games are bigger and more ambitious, but LA is so polished its noteworthy flaws are almost trivially listed:
> crappy inventory management (only somewhat better in Oracles)
> shitty music for acorn/power triangles
> infinite text hints for liftable/smashable rocks
Seasons has great action, but the narrative for Holodrum/Subrosa is pretty much boilerplate garbage.
Better to have no/emergent/contextual story like LoZ or go all the way with a plot and not just half-ass it.
>>342479217
You should check out some of the wizzrobes in Zelda Classic.
http://www.shardstorm.com/ZCwiki/Wizzrobe
>>342479795
Goddamn, Zelda Classic. I saw that ages ago and I always felt like using that engine to make a game of some sort. I wonder if there's any out there that's really cool.
>>342479889
Check PureZC. That's the best place for ZC stuff.
Seriously, more people need to know about this. It's a crime how unknown ZC is.
>>342479889

Also, don't know how long ago you checked out ZC, but there's a ton of stuff from other Zelda games you can add to your quest.

>>342480273
Thanks man. I wish something like this existed for metroid as well.
how the fuck are you suppose to jump the last four holes?
>>342480535
There's always SMILE but if you want to add anything non-standard beyond simple level editing you better know assembly
>>342480846
SMILE's a rom hacking tool.

ages to linked seasons will make you hate ages
>>342485657
Either order is fine.
>>342485657
easy mode is ages -> seasons because you'll get the superior items for the true final boss. Also more shit changes in linked seasons over linked ages so that's a plus
seasons -> ages would be a harder path
