Loneliness.

>doing ages first
Why?

Like I'd seriously recommend Seasons first. It's a lot more memorable as a game to me, and I'd rather play a fun game like it first over the more tedious Ages.

>>12354959
A game that's very fun, has lots of content, and is difficult to put down until you beat. Items feel nice. Puzzles are tricky and require a little thinking, but not too much. Prima's official guide is handy to have.
>>12354964
Seasons into Ages just makes more sense progression wise, Seasons being more combat oriented, and Ages being more puzzle oriented.

>>12354959
Link was so cute

>>12354959
The best 2d zelda experience

>got about 90 minutes progress
>hit a+b+select+start to save my game like you do in links awakening
>in these games its just a soft reset
LMAO what a great start.

>>12354964
ages seemed more interesting to me. but considering I just wiped all my progress I might switch over to seasons.

They're the technocrats Zeldas. They're technically great, but ultimately soulless and fail at the kind of pacing and exploration that makes Zelda good.

These games pretty much started a shift in Nintendo's practices too. It was the first time a Zelda game was made by third parties, so instead of treating their main series like something special, they were treating it like shovelware, just like they treated the GBC as a whole as a lesser platform. Younger people probably don't realize that because it's all they've known.

>it's s good game but *BUZZWORD*

>>12355125
I sort of don't disagree, but they're still much more soul filled than ALttP, and absolutely have the tone and uncompromising difficulty of 'real' Zelda games, where they let you hang yourself in confusion if you aren't paying attention to what the game is doing.

They're definitely lesser in atmosphere compared to LA and OoT, and more linear than the NES games, but they're mechanically the most well rounded Zeldas and have the best dungeons in the series in fact, I'd say they're the only Zelda games that actually do justice to the idea of a Zelda dungeon.

>>12354959
Both are good but I would do seasons first.

>>12355019
Most gb games reset that way, why would you expect this one to be any different? Oh yeah it’s because retards don’t bother reading the manual.

>>12355656
Not even a manual problem, just press start then select.

Canonically speaking it makes more sense to play Seasons first and then Oracle, that way all the events make more sense and you don't miss out on anything.

>>12355019
Should have been a save state chad

>>12354959
The true ending comes from Ages first playthrough. After ages, then seasons, then ages again you get the boat ending.

where is her game?

>>12355656
maybe because the previous game with the exact same menu and assets used that combination you fucking inbred retard

>>12355883
yes the games with different maps, dungeons, story, items, gameplay mechanics are just like pokemon red/blue

>>12355910
Soon

>>12355910
Her game got absorbed into the other 2 when Capcom realized they couldn't do 3 games worth of content. So instead of 3 mediocre games we got 2 solid ones.

>>12354959
KINOOOOOOOOOOO

>>12354959
Play Seasons first.

>>12354959
If you like Link's Awakening you'll probably like OoA/S. I think the director for them is the guy directing Zelda now, from Skyward Sword to BotW/TotK. But the Oracle games are solid 2D Zeldas.

Oracles > Minish Cap

>>12355910
Probably got turned into minish cap.

if you treat the oracle titles as one big game, its easily the best 2d zelda.

for fun

>>12355910
Her game is basically Minnish Cap on the GBA, same team. Probably re-used the ideas of her game. It's not a coincidence that game is "green" themed.

>>12354959
>what am I in for? doing ages first
You're in for a permanently inaccessible map square unless you do ages second lol

>>12355125
This. I don’t feel these games at all. It’s going through the motions.

One day, one day

>>12355910
literally who

>>12354959
Everyone seems to like seasons more, but I've played Ages twice and enjoyed it, while never managed to get through seasons. For whatever reason, seasons felt like a slog.

>>12359438
Ages has a much better story and region at least in my opinion.

>>12359438
Well all Seasons has going for it on the surface is more fighting, and you have to change the overworld more often, so I get it.

>>12354959
links awakening romhacks with gimmicks and bloat and none of the soul

>>12354959
Long chain exchange quests

>So instead of 3 mediocre games we got 2 mediocre games.
FTFY

>>12360438
you fixed nothing

A standard zelda game. Enjoy?

>>12359438
I think both games feel equally like slogs, but I agree Ages is slightly more bearable somehow.

>>12357113
How so? It's more of the same.

>>12355910
begone foul temptress

>>12355983
But it doesn't though, it's just start and select...

>A standard zelda game.
Not really, Oracles sort of set the expectations for handheld Zelda.

>>12367389
And Minish crap tore them down

>>12354959
i did ages -> seasons way back when they launched. i recommend you play minish cap and all the other handheld zeldas first because these two are the peak

>>12367389
Link's Awakening set the expectations and Oracles failed to live up to them.
