Seasons first imo, because that's the way I did it and I liked it that way.

I prefer Seasons a little bit - some of the overworld travel and dungeons in Ages get a little bit obnoxious and its items aren't as cool. But the Oracles are definitely great Zelda games.

Ages first, then Seasons.

In any case, i did both ways.

Even bonus wise I don't think there's an advantage to playing one before the other...

Seasons is more focused on action and fighting while Ages deals more with puzzles. I guess just decide based on your mood.

Only major difference IIRC is the circumstances around Zelda's involvement in the second game you play.

Oh and what is normally the first dungeon you have to do in either game becomes an optional one that's completely different if you play it second

I watched an LP of Oracle of Ages a while back and it looked like it could be my favorite 2D Zelda.

Also on the topic of this series, I wholeheartedly apologize for bashing OOT. That was stupid.

I don't mean the first "Level" dungeon, with an essence inside. I mean the small one you have to do beforehand. In Seasons it's the one at the beach where you get the sword, in Ages I believe it's the pathway to the Maku Tree

What you do with the kid doesn't really matter that much in terms of your reward but it's still kinda fun to check in on him now and then

From what I hear, very early on Seasons was actually intended to be a remake of Zelda 1 so that's probably a result of that.

Seasons is more combat based and Ages is more puzzle based

it seemed natural to start with Seasons and work up to Ages

Level 3 sword is only available in the linked game, and Seasons is combat oriented. It's why I always play it last.

no, they're not that much different. I think both are closer to the older kind than anything that has come out since, though there is still occasionally the type of thing that article mentioned with "door and key" where "key" can be replaced with whatever the next item/ability to be received is

Ages has some really challenging puzzles that take forever to figure out. It's really satisfying once you solve those. It also has a better story.

I like how the music becomes staccato when you pause rather than just getting quieter like in most games(at least some of the time, I noticed it in horon village and the overworld but not with this house theme...)
