The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons

So, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages just dropped on NSO, as most of you are probably already aware. And I'm playing them in the apparent canon order, according to the mangas and Hyrule Historia, with Seasons first. Honestly it makes sense; Din is the goddess of power, the first Triforce; and Nayru is the goddess of wisdom, the second Triforce; and Farore is the goddess of courage, the third Triforce, and the one game in the trilogy they never got around to making.

Gross oversimplification aside, I got stuck in the very first dungeon... embarrassing, I know. I've played through these games a few times, so I'm not sure what the problem is, was I supposed to get the seed satchel before coming in here? I know I need seeds, the game has been very unsubtle about showing me unlit torches. So I check on GameFAQs and all the dungeons have weird names, and there's just something not quite right here. I scroll up to the top of the page, and clear as day, I'm on the correct Oracle of Seasons section; but as I scroll down I notice it says Oracle of Ages above the FAQs anyhow. Upon further inspection, even though it doesn't lead you to some sort of Ages & Seasons joint page, like it does for all the Pokémon games; it still has the FAQs for both games on the page.

Why?!

There is no conceivable reason to have Age exclusive FAQs in the Season section. The only FAQs that should appear in both places are the ones that specifically deal with Password/Secret Exchange/Rings, or that one Zelda Series Ending FAQ that appears on literally every game. It's just baffling and infuriating, and not a big enough deal to do anything about except rant on my own blog, so that's what I'm doing.

Also, in case you were wondering, apparently my problem was that I wasn't pushing a block the right way. Not that the FAQs were much help. I saw the classic Zelda 1 staircase surrounded by blocks, and tried pushing the one on the left, nothing. I tried pushing every block in the room, nothing. Obviously this is an 'exit only' deal, so I searched elsewhere. But when I checked the FAQs they said things like "Push aside the block at the left corner of the diamond" and one even explicitly specifies to do it the wrong way that I tried before looking, saying "Push the leftmost block downward." Anyhow, for some incomprehensible reason, they've disabled pushing the block in any direction except up. Really? Then how do you escape after getting the seeds? Well, the block next to it can only be pushed down. I have no idea what purpose this slight change does, and 20 years ago I had more confidence in myself and tried more things before assuming I missed something.

But shoutout to Dark Vortex for being the only one that got that part right. I upvoted your FAQ, even though I have no idea what that does.

Hylian Game Titles pixel art project is complete! Please enjoy all 19 games in their respective Hylian script.

This was honestly super fun to do. I feel like I know so much more about the world of Zelda, and I've started to find small things in games I've never noticed before. I can confidently say that I'm fluent in Hylian now.

Which one is your favorite?

Farore too because why not 🍀

I used to purposely just visit her in the tree because I felt like she'd be lonely all by herself 🤧

I FINISHED

FINISHED MY ANALYSIS OF EOW ZELDA'S DESIGN

enjoy :3 (forgive my handwriting i tried to keep it readable)

tldr she's a really nice mix of all the Zelda designs from the Era of Light and Dark (for my LU fans, Legend's Era)

it was really nice to see some design parts pulled from Oracle Zelda's design.
