“Needless to say, neither game can truly be complete without the other. Even switching the order you play the games in can give you a new experience–a huge boost for replay value. If you beat one game and don’t continue on to the true ending in the other, you’ll find that things are clearly unresolved. But what if you absolutely, for some horrifying reason, can only play one? Which one should you choose? Well, for lack of a better answer, both games are amazing and they defy comparison. I suppose, if I had a gun to my head, you might hear me whisper, ‘Seasons…’ But I’d probably regret saying that, because Oracle of Ages really is equally good.
“Some of you will get the chance to grab these games for the first time on May 30th when they come to the Nintendo 3DS eShop. I definitely suggest you do, because for the rest of us they hold a lot of memories.”
Recent rumors suggest The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages games are coming to Switch, but that doesn't really add up.
I remember enjoying Twilight Princess overall, though the dark/light world mechanic felt too similar to Metroid Prime 2.
I never played Skyward Sword though. Did that retain the cool as fuck sheathing animation link does in Twilight Princess?
The whole time I played the remake of "Link's Awakening" on my Switch, I kept hoping they would do the oracle games in a similar style.
I wonder when the "why any other Zelda but Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword would make more sense" article will pop up.
Gotta release um all Zeldamon'
Really funny seeing this and "What’s with the lack of game content, Nintendo?" right next to each other.
OK......no and hard pass but ok. Look Zelda TP is a very good entry but imo its had its time and 3 versions on (Gamecube, Wii, Wii U) I say let it rest. Especially since it will inevitably be just a slightly touched up port of the HD Wii U game. Id actually prefer a Wind Wake HD port over TP. That said Oracle of Seasons/Ages done in the new Link's Adventure style is vastly more appealing to me, and I hope that's what they do.
After Mario’s 35th anniversary has come and gone, and even Metroid is getting its 35th with brand new game Metroid Dread, it may seem strange that the 35th anniversary for The Legend of Zelda passed by with little fanfare earlier this year.
No it's not. It's time Nintendo stopped with the ports/remakes and remasters and started putting in some actual effort by providing new content. Even their new console is just a port of the old one smh
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons are very much two halves of the same grand adventure, but they’re both worth examining on their own merits.
I'l be buying both of these games on my 3DS on the 31st. I can't wait to play the games.
I LOVE these games!! <3
Beat 'em both a LONG time ago!
Classics!
Good memories. Both were excellent titles, possibly my favorite 2D Zeldas.
