3DS Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons

Re: 3DS Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons

If you're going to three-heart either of these games, a few points to keep in mind:

1. Get Dimitri. Insta-nom is better than damaging foes.

2. Invest in rings that reduce your damage taken. Armor Rings are a cheap way to do this. It's worth falling for the trap in the Great Moblin's castle in Ages to get the Armor Ring L-1, which is actually quite useful during that fight. It's also good for climbing the cliff south of Symmetry City.

3. Always have a Magic Potion on hand. This is not optional. You get 200 Rupees in the Zora Castle in Ages for a reason.

4. Minimize risk. When faced with a choice between dodging an attack and getting in a hit, always dodge. Pick enemies off with seeds and bombs whenever possible. The super-tough centaur enemies with sword arms? Boomerang stun. They aren't worth the trouble. It is, however, worth the trouble to get the Red Ring. Shorter fights are always better.

5. Learn how secrets work. The Mirror Shield and Master Sword are incredibly superior to anything else, and Bombchu takes a lot of the pain out of the tight quarters of the Black Tower Turret.

Bump because I'm looking for tips on how to do the mermaid suit area in the Ancient Tomb in Oracle of Ages.

Re: 3DS Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons

I personally didn't like Seasons very much but Ages is another story. I played through Ages multiple times but Seasons not so much. I guess I'm a sucker for the time travel? I dunno. I just liked the dungeons a lot more in Ages.

I should try to three heart run these games. I've done nearly every other Zelda game so may as well try these as well :P Don't remember much about them anymore though haha. Time to replay!

EDIT: Just noticed that was a necro thread lol. And sorry I don't have tips to help. Though Ages is my fav I don't remember much anymore. Probably all come back once I start playing it though.

It's that day, people. The day where you put FFR down, even though the notes will be posted in the next hour. The day where you buy a 3ds if you haven't already, and where you shell out $10 to play the greatest piece of video game adventure in history, namely, the Zelda Oracle of ages/Seasons series.

Seriously, this is my favorite Zelda ever (yes, ever (yes, EVER)) and I am super glad they are releasing it again. With the game link feature, you'll spend hours finishing the same games to different results. It is amazing, transcendental, even. And if you need any more reason to get this,

Anyone else has anything to share about these? Gosh, this might be an FFR forum, there is no reason not to embrace the true greatness of these.

For once somebody else agrees with me and hell yes this zelda kicks ass I love those games the best.

Same. That's why I've gotten further in Ages than I did in Seasons. I'm only on the fourth dungeon in Seasons and I'm in the eighth dungeon in Ages. I personally found Ages a lot easier, even though the majority of people who have played both of these games say Ages is harder than Seasons.

Re: 3DS Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons

Huh, I don't remember either being much harder than the other. Guess I'll find out when I start replaying them

If you're talking about the part where you have to dodge the pits while the water flows, I just go down the middle, making minimal adjustments. The more you swim out of the way of the pits, the more you'll have to correct your course to dodge the next one.

I'll try that out. Thanks!

Edit: @Shenjoku People are saying Ages is more difficult because they seem to have a harder time with the dungeons and more enemies are in that game.

Re: 3DS Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons

I'm just gonna get the cartridges eventually lol

Re: 3DS Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons

I still have my cartridges I'd play it on my GBA but it's so much better playing on a computer with a nice big screen.

Re: 3DS Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons

I still have the Ages cart, but there's a short in the battery, so it doesn't hold a save after I turn the power off. Seasons I still have my deathless THC file.

Huhh?? I actually think the game looks much better on a smaller screen. For example, even on the 3DS, I prefer to use the original Game Boy Color ratio as opposed to the ''full screen'' option.

To each their own, I guess. In the end, all that matters is that we get to enjoy this awesome game!
