The final ending is the same in both games (as far as I remember, anyway). The second game changes depending on what you played first and the choices you maade.

You're damn right they're magical.
Oracle of Seasons / Ages are absolutely fantastic. Capcom knocked it out of the park.

So, are these midnight releases does anyone know? Or is it only retail that's updated at midnight?

Goron dancing is the only one that I'm going to have nightmares over. I still remember the one huge trip up in the Waterfall cave that slammed my progress into a wall, so I should be good there.

I think these are available at either 9am or 9pm on 5/30 based on an advertisement I saw on the eshop yesterday. Not sure what time zone

what time does nintendo usually update the eshop?
12:00PM ET.
Since when has Nintendo ever released anything digital at midnight? Only thing I can remember is when the eShop first launched and I think that was at around 1 or 2 A.M. EST.
Anyway, getting both tomorrow. Really stoked. First time playing through these games. These, Minish Cap and Skyward Sword are my only unfinished Zeldas.

Fire Emblem was released at midnight. I think Luigi's Mansion and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon also had midnight launches on eShop. Animal Crossing is confirmed to have a midnight launch, too.
Well, now I'm disappointed that the Oracles didn't come out at midnight.

Plan on save state scumming through the required mini games if I absolutely must. I have no regrets because I think that stuff is dumb!

Notice a trend there compared to the Oracles games?
You just reminded me that I haven't beaten Spirit Tracks either. It's going to be a rare event when I'm in the mood to play anything like Phantom Hourglass again.
Go with Seasons. It's the easier, more action-oriented one. Then you can go to Ages, which is more challenging and puzzle-based.

Wait I can play them both unlinked, and then play them both linked right. Two games but I can have some slightly different stuff if I end up playing them both linked right.

Pretty much everything except most items really. Rather than being "Zelda Red and Blue version", they're two different games that can be connected. Most people find Season easier for the most part.
Play one, beat it, and it will give you a password. Then input the password when you start the other game. It will change up some of your character interactions and ultimately lead you to an epilogue sequence with the true final boss when you beat the second game.

Aww, I want to go buy'em, but they're not available till 9am (presumably Pacific timezone?). Bummer.
People generally recommend playing Seasons first, right? Because Ages is better? I'm excited to play through these and talk about it!

ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I want to buy Oracle of Ages (the only other Zelda I haven't played on GBC).
Just wondering, how much will Ace Attorney 5 be on the eShop? I need to calculate if I can afford to get both Oracle games or just one.

Nobody knows yet.
Disappointed that its not up yet. But with my experience with EOIV and SH, Im used to non-midnight releases.
I also decided to check my Gameboy Color and its still working along with my Oracle of Ages save! Cmon eShop, update already! I want to play Seasons!
Kinda bad shots though because of the lighting on the Gameboy.

Naw, it looks awesome. I have a lime green GBC, but I always play my GB games on my GBA SP. I replayed Link's Awakening on it earlier this year. I can't stand to go back to the non-lit screens for more than a few minutes, hah.

Can anybody give any concrete examples of Seasons being 'action based' and Ages being 'puzzle based'? I played them each shortly after release but cant remember them being all that different gameplay-wise. They were just two distinct (excellent) Zelda games that linked together.
It seems to me like those distinctions were just marketing taglines that stuck.

No really they are, Seasons is making tons of callback to earlier Zelda (some bosses are even exact replicas from Zelda 1) while Ages have way more puzzles that aren't just "kill them all to drop a key".
It's night and day really.

I remember checking out the official website before they were released thinking "dam, I wish I had a gameboy right now", and now this time I sort of do.
