Support NeoGAF

[KojiKnight]

Yeah, GAF is the first place I've heard anyone claim Seasons was the easy one.

The way I was always told was that Seasons was more actiony and Ages was more puzzley. In general though, I think it's whatever game you played the first time you will find better/easier because, let's be honest, by the time you get to the second game you start to feel a little burnt out.

 

[Bullza2o]

I just read that people usually play Seasons first due to chronology, but if you only have one choice which one will it be?

I have $2 on my eShop, and I don't plan on buying the other one in the near future. Please suggest the definite version.

 

[Merovin]

search for "zelda"? as opposed to "oracle" etc?

Tried both, nothing.

At last, my store has updated!

Seasons. Just get seasons already


I may have missed it earlier, do these versions have the GBA shop or not?

You can't buy either then?

So I guess Seasons it is?

I am willing to spend only enough for 1 of them (spend $3).

The Wikipedia article says that they don't, for whatever that's worth.

 

[GulAtiCa]

About 2 hours to go.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Ages > Seasons

Bye.

 

[Khaz]

"Zelda" didn't bring them up for me, I had to search for "oracle" to find them both. Also I don't think I saw them in the Virtual Console aisle either.

Quite the screwup launch really. First time I noticed it happening, none of the new releases are on the front page or marked as new.

 

[wilder.Boy]

OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod! I'm so excited! As LA is probably my most loved game of all times and I never played the oracle games, I'll dive straight into Seasons. Here we go!

The eShop is never fully updated until 11AM central (its 9AM central now).

Are you in Europe or North America? Idk about Europe currently, but I know North America not even updated till noon EST. (even so, the games are on front row in the middle)

 

[PowderedToast]

they are front page on the UK eshop. £4.49 each

 

[Salsa]

yo we need pics

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

They're on the homepage. $4.99. Can't buy them yet.

 

[Chrom]

Do we know if the GBA features are still in these VC releases?

 

[Diman]

They are on the frontpage.
I already bought them.

I'm going to follow NeoGAF's advice and start with seasons.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I'm starting with Ages, fuck y'all! I kid, but Ages just seems like the more instantly appealing one to me, having played 20 minutes of both. The time-travel mechanic is cool, and so far it seems more instantly gratifying than Ocarina's even.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

So everyone is starting with Seasons? Alright, let's do this.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

I still can't buy them.

 

[Zeeman]

Never played Seasons, so I guess I'll start there.

 

[Khaz]

Are you in Europe or North America? Idk about Europe currently, but I know North America not even updated till noon EST. (even so, the games are on front row in the middle)

yeah i didn't mention it was for Europe. But it's apparently all good now.

We had our update around 3pm here.

 

[dc89]

Got my E-Shop card! I'm home from work. My body is ready.

Oh, I've never played either of these games. Where the hell do I start? Halp.

 

[Frolow]

Are they up in North America yet? I can't check right now.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Consensus seems to be: Oracle of Seasons.

Are they up in North America yet? I can't check right now.

Nope. It will be up in exactly 45 minutes.

 

[KojiKnight]

Are they up in North America yet? I can't check right now.

Nope, supposed to be up at noon EST, 9am PST.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Since you can't get a 100% file until you've beat both games twice, and since there are slight variations in the scenario depending on the order you play, I usually go:

Ages -> Seasons

then for the heroic run

Seasons -> Ages

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Are they up in North America yet? I can't check right now.

Another 40 minutes, methinks.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Are they up in North America yet? I can't check right now.

Not yet.

 

[Celegus]

I'm also gonna grab Seasons tonight, never played a handheld Zelda before.

 

[Schnei871]

Not yet in Canada

Downloading both now!

 

[kittens]

Still not available for me. :-(

It's also not 9am here yet, though.

 

[TheContact]

You really need to play Links Awakening

 

[KojiKnight]

Downloading both now!

We get it, you're European an the game is already out for you.

 

[Khaz]

We get it, you're European an the game is already out for you.

It's ok, you will have your sweet vengeance next week with New leaf while we europeans wait another week.

If you really want the game to have more complicated puzzles, and you'll think it's too easy, or be disappointed that it doesn't, then you should get Ages.

As KojiKnight said, I played them both when they were new. I played Seasons, thought it was great, then got stuck in Ages and stopped because I was a little burnt out, so your strategy of just buying one (for now anyway) isn't bad. I of course am going to buy both anyway.

 

[MedIC86]

Are these game worth playing? never got around to these 2

 

[zroid]

10 minutes... @_@

 

[meppi]

Downloading both now!

Ah, didn't know they would be up already. Doing the same now.

 

[Megatron]

So everyone is starting with Seasons? Alright, let's do this.

I'm starting with Ages because I never beat it.

 

[ramyeon]

Bought these both tonight to tide me over till New Leaf hits. Just finishing off Awakening after starting last night and I'm loving the nostalgia of it all.

It will actually be my first time playing these two though, the only Zelda games I didn't play at all for some reason.

 

[KojiKnight]

Do you like Zelda games? Especially 2D ones?

If the former, yes, if the latter double yes.

(Edit) Buying both now even though I won't likely beat them both very quickly. Figure it's still discounted if I do it now, and like LA which I got when it was released on VC, I'll probably come back to it a year later with fresh eyes and ready to go.

Yes, i loved alttp and minish cap and so on. I only have time to play one really, which one do you recommend? Also if there is an "easier" one i prefer that.

Same here. I played Seasons and my brother had Ages, but I never got too far in it. I wasn't great at video games and I'm sure something else caught my attention so I never went back to it. Should make the wait for New Leaf go by much faster.

 

[Macka]

It's still not up. What the hell?

 

[Synless]

I can buy Ages, but Seasons isn't up yet.
