Out tomorrow. Awesome.

Should I play Ages or Seasons first? What’s the difference

So what’s the consensus of these games compared to LA? Always felt these were underrated games.
hevy_hed
oh hell yeah been waiting for these
bayou_turtle
YESSSSSS!!!!! 😁😁😁 SO. DAMN. GOOD!!!!

I was just thinking it was strange how we haven’t gotten any NSO drops this month. Interesting that these two seem to be replacing the usual GBA/N64 spot with their own unique trailer, but I guess two full Zelda games deserve the special treatment.

I’m super pumped for this. Been craving some classic Zelda on a Nintendo system
Alien_Antichrist
They are really great games. Glad they are releasing them.
Praise_the_Tsun
The games are actually available now.
It says July 27th, probably referring to the 27th in Japan and they are a day ahead of the US.
dewhashish
Not shown: the third oracle game never released for gameboy color
I wonder if the advance store will be available in the game? It would be annoying if it’s locked out and you cant play this on the GBA emulator

Pretty stoked! As a kid, we had Ages, and a buddy from school got Seasons, so we 100%-ed our save files then traded passwords to get the true ending.
CocoVillage
Bought these for my 3DS years ago. Such amazing games.
texas2089
Never got to play Ages but I really enjoyed Seasons. Can’t wait to dive back in and experience both!
Digibutter64
I really wish they’d release games more frequently. I’m still waiting on *Mario Party 3*.
Gogo726
Today is my birthday. Thanks Nintendo!
Superboi-Prime
The most underrated Zelda games by far. Hope more people take the opportunity to play these.
Bad_Decision_Rob_Low
Yes! Now just do wind Waker!
ricardocaliente
For anyone completely new to these games you can transfer your completed game data to the other game when you start. This also unlocks additional content in the second game you play as well!
defunctx
Aren’t these the ones developed by Capcom?
YoLiterallyFuckThis
I am ecstatic. I still have my cartridges, but having some of the Quality of Life features (looking at you save-states) will help so much more now that I’m 29 and working fulltime, rather than 9.

This is pretty much the final nail for remakes, sadly. I can’t see them releasing ports as a subscription and then releasing remakes after – the subscription would undermine sales.

Man i wish Nintendo could remake these two like they did with Link’s awakening.

StevensDs-
Is finally time to dive into Oracles again. I F***ING love these games!
invaderpixel
I’m pretty terrible at Zelda games and sometimes get bored but this is one of the few I’ve beaten. Definitely excited to replay this one again.
GreendaleSDV
Very happy to see these coming to the collection, but Golden Sun… Please.
porgy_tirebiter
In my opinion the best 2D Zeldas of all. Certainly the best 2D dungeon design. Not all good, but many of them hit that sweet spot of little puzzles integrated into a big puzzle.
blzmwt
Why have they not released any traditional pokemon gameboy games? Yellow? Red and Blue? Would love Gold and Silver
Sgtkeebler
Omg finally GB gets some games. I know Zelda and Pokémon are home grown titles but I wonder if they are running into licensing issues with other games and that’s why it is taking so freaking long to port games. I hope they bring Pokémon.
I had these two Zelda games when I was growing up and then my drug addict neighbor stole all of my games and sold them to GameStop and I never played GB or GBA games ever again
mrHartnabrig
Damn, reminds me I still have to start and/or finish my Zelda backlog, which includes Skyward Sword HD, Minnish Cap, and TOTK. lol
RPGaiden
A little sad to see no one’s mentioned the absolute best part of these games yet- >!Moosh the winged blue bear!<
N_Who
This is incredible. I didn’t have much time to play these when they released, and never beat either. I am so very excited to play these games.
ONEAlucard
Had the best time with these games when they first came out. Me and my best mate bought opposite games, then swapped them and transferred our play through across to complete the stories. Was so fricking awesome.
facepoopin
Been playing Zelda since Links Awakening, these 2 games are top tier Zelda, both a 10/10 but Ages will always be my favorite!
dcross9818
It took me 20 years to beat that damn Goron dancing mini game in Ages. I couldn’t get the timing right and couldn’t progress the story.
Thanks to the 3ds save states, I finished both of these.
zorbiburst
Capcom makes the best Zelda games
Yosonimbored
That’s great and I believe most if not all the older Zelda’s are on their emulators now, how about doing Pokémon next, thanks
Samoman21
Game is a lil color bugged. Some zones you load into and either the color is all messed up or just black screen. I found opening the start menu and then closing helps.
There is however the issue when the Maku tree talks after you finish a dungeon or when you get the harp. There is text that loads but you can’t see or read it. Hopefully they fix these issues.
This all happened on undocked switch in oracle of ages
maxcorrice
running in GBA or GBC mode?
Mattynicklin
Just give us Pokémon already
dewittless
The only Zelda’s now not playable on switch are wind waker, twilight princess, phantom hourglass and spirit tracks.
CorHydrae8
Sure. I mean, I’ve already played both a dozen times each and own both as a cartridge and on the 3ds, but why don’t you just make me play them again?
TheUltimate3
I feel like Im crazy. I could have sworn these were already on NSO.
I have vivid memories of playing these games recently. *How did i play them*?!
TheDitz42
Oh Man I remember having Seasons and Looking up completion codes from Ages so I could play the alternate routes, sons a bitches were huge.
LastDaysCultist
I would love OoS and OoA remastered ala LA.
banditx19
Random, but I was cleaning out my parents house last week and found my game boy with Ages inside. My game save still loaded.
Thoraxekicksazz
These are two of the best Zelda games of all time. If you like Links awakening then this is a must play.

So basically this was the leak of the new Zelda games? Bummer, was hoping for Twilight Princess 😞
