Topic: Do I need to play both GBC Zeldas? (Ages/Seasons)

I just started playing Zelda Oracle of Seasons and it's awesome.
You can feel the Capcom touches in it, and the design and enemies make it feel like a Zelda Greatest Hits.
My question is, do I need to get Ages too?
What's different between the two? The same? (such as overhead world, dungeons, items, etc.)
What features do I get out of connecting the two?
-Thanks

All the Dungeons items and bosses are different between the two games as well as the overworlds.
Oracle of Ages and seasons is actually meant to be one giant Zelda game split into two parts.
You play one first and it leads into the next.
When you finish one game it gives you a password for the next game.
Then you play the other half and complete it. They can also be played seperately but only by connecting them with the code can you fight the hidden boss and see the real ending. Some items and secrets only obtainable when connecting the two games.

Yes, they're completely different games, it's not like Pokemon where the two different versions are nearly identical, they're two different games. By 'connecting' the two you get to see the true ending which I won't spoil.

Note: by connecting the two games you don't need a link cable or anything. You just need to beat one game and then at the end of that game you're given a password which you type in when starting the other game in order to start a 'linked game'. A 'linked game' basically continues the story on from the game before, and in the linked game there will be changes to the story to what it'd be if you played the game without putting a password in, you'll be able to get different items that you couldn't without the password and the game will be extended to include the real finale.

So say you beat Oracle of Seasons you'll be given a password at the end, then when you go to play Ages you'll be able to put that password in to start the linked game where the story will continue and at the end you'll get the true ending.

It's simple really although I think I've gone round in circles in trying to explain everything. All you need to know is that they're different games and they're both great, so you should own them both.

With Oracle of seasons and Ages there's a total of about 16 dungeons. How's that for content?
Quite a massive Zelda game huh?

Buy them. They're amazing, and they're quite difficult too.

That's a good analogy, I always thought they were like Pokemon.
What a stupid model for a game... link two nearly identical versions for a few minor changes (Wow, I got a Charzard and I'm playing BLUE??? AWESOME!!!)
But apparently Oracle isn't Pokemon.
Thanks for the news.
I imagine the second game will be much easier since you start with a lot of items (and heart peices?) that you wouldn't normally start with.

But thanks Zezzy, glad to know I don't need to play video games.
I just beat Who Framed Roger Rabbit for NES last week because I thought it was compulsory.
What a waste of time.

Does anyone remember "what tuba can't you play?"

Nah, you don't get to start with all your heart pieces and items I'm afraid, you lose them when you begin the linked game. I know it'd make no sense for Link to suddenly lose everything he collected but if you kept all the items from the first game it'd be WAY too easy if you did, plus you'd have nothing to collect in the game. The only 'bonus' you get in terms of items or heart pieces when starting a linked game instead of a non-linked one is you start with 4 heart pieces instead of the usual 4.

P.S: I think it's the baritone tuba people can't play.

Wait, then what exactly do you get to start with when you do a linked game?
Just the rings?

I recently did a playthrough of the linked games. As I recall, you start with an extra heart container. Also, I think there is some added dialogue and whatnot that connects the game to what you did with the other one (the characters recognize that you completed the events in the other game).

Off course! Both are two unique Zelda Quests with one being more action-based while the other is more puzzle-oriented.

And linking them gets you extras in both games.

Well, trying the CD-I Zelda and not these GBC ones, like me, is blasphemy ghehe These two are the only Zelda games I didn't play (didn't complete)...

With kind regards,
