Mr_Crispy 07/26/23 10:00:12 PM #9:	they're pretty much the same as LA (besides the rings and the animal buddy system, and the gimmicks for Seasons/Ages), just more of it and not quite as good/fresh. I think conceptually Seasons is intended to be a bit more "combat" focused and Ages a bit more "puzzle" focused but it's not a super huge difference in difficulty or complexity between the two or LA. Well, there's one super obnoxious minigame in Ages if you have a bad sense of rhythm/timing but I don't remember offhand if you have to do it to complete the game or if you just had to do it for a piece of heart.. --- The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.

mnk 07/26/23 10:02:28 PM #10:	Maybe I should replay Ages and see if I can beat what I think was the water dungeon. I got stuck in one room as a kid, and I even had the official guide, but all it said was "go to the next room".

I don't remember this specific thing in Ages, but in the original Legend of Zelda there's a room with this message and the solution is to bomb one of the walls in that room.

I mean I definitely think there's a step up in complexity from LA, it's taking that structure and adding stuff on top of it (map gimmicks, for one, not to mention the link system). There's a lot of weird experiments like seeds and the animal buddies too, and these things are a lot more refined than Minish Cap's experiments imo. Whether or not that's good or bad is up to you, but if you're high on LA you should enjoy the oracles. Personally I prefer them. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:975088511] in Zelda Orac...

SHINE_GET_64 07/26/23 11:55:22 PM #17:	I think it's more correct to say Seasons is action focused as it's not just the fighting, but also it's the items that encourage more movement and platforming gameplay While the items in Ages are more used for solving puzzles --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png <cite>SHINE_GET_64 posted [p:975088914] in Zelda Orac...

Isquen 07/26/23 11:58:50 PM #18:	-hotdogturtle-- posted... People have been parroting this phrase for the past 20 years and it's really one of the most meaningless descriptions ever written. Except it is true. Ages has its dungeon difficulty in the puzzles, with one of the first few dungeons barely having any monsters in it at all. Ages also has its overworld feel small because you're weaving back and forth in time throughout, plus a good portion of it is water and islands. Seasons has enemy spam in some areas, such as the Temple of Seasons itself, and each swapped season brings a respawn for them. Either way, they're both my favorite 2D Zelda games, period. --- [Rock and Stone] <o/ <cite>Isquen posted [p:975088955] in Zelda Orac...
