User:Xykeb Zraliv/Why Oracle of Ages Comes First

This is a list of all the reasons I think that The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages comes before The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons.


 * Simply put, Seasons have a more climactic feel to it. Why? It feels more like a generic hero's quest, and thus more climactic. You may be wondering how. Well, here's how.
 * Dark Dragon is way more climactic than Veran's little bug stunts. Giant evil dragon is more climactic that moderately sized insects and a spider. I'm sorry, it's just a fact in this case.
 * The Maku Tree in Seasons is bigger and more grand than the one in Ages, not to mention he plays more of a guardian spirit role because he is not trying to flirt with Link every corner of his journey.
 * There is a bit less side character development, which makes it feel like it's all about Link, thus it is more climactic.
 * Because Din is captured until the very end of the game, whereas Nayru is freed right before the 7th dungeon, the ending of a Linked version of Ages is forced to make Nayru help Impa and Zelda rally the citizens, and therefore the ending focuses less on Zelda herself.
 * In Seasons, the Great Moblin retreats to the house in Sunken City and is all depressed because he has to make his bombs from scratch, which I feel is a sign that the Great Moblin has finally been defeated and that you've destroyed all that he's currently got, forcing him to make things from the beginning.
 * In a Linked version of Seasons, Queen Ambi and the Pirate Captain are reunited.
 * Also, the Pirate Captain docks in Seasons, which I feel makes a very strained connection between that and a Linked version of Ages. If he docked, why did he just suddenly go and sail off to Labrynna? Furthermore, if he went to Holodrum/Subrosia, doesn't that make the point about him getting lost in the Sea of Storms near his homeland (Labrynna) kind of moot?
 * Not to mention, in a non-linked version of Ages, he says that he is now going off to Holodrum. He says nothing about going off to Labrynna in a non-linked version of Seasons.
 * In a linked version of Ages, Biggoron makes the Biggoron's Sword and gives it to you, whereas in a linked version of Seasons, you get it from the Goron Elder.
 * The Great Moblin trying to capture Zelda seemed to fit better than Vire trying to do it.
 * In a non-linked version of Ages, Bipin is supposedly the descendant of Pippin. He has no such backstory in Seasons. Therefore it makes more sense for him to have grown up and married in Labrynna, then moved to Holodrum.
 * It makes more sense for the Hero's Cave to be an improved version of one that appeared in a non-linked version of Seasons than for a cave to just appear in Labrynna just for the sake of putting it in there.
 * It makes more sense for the Pirate Captain to appear and give you the Tokay Eyeball in the past, because the eyeball isn't missing in the present.

That's all I've got for now, but if I think of anything else, I'll add it here.
