The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
When Link awoke, he found himself in a forest he had never seen. Confused, he looked around blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings. He heard pleasant music and laughing voices echoing from deep within the woods. Link followed the inviting voices until he came upon a traveling troupe of actors. He was immediately struck by the beauty of a young woman who was dancing about in circles. When the girl noticed Link, she smiled brightly and called to him.
"Welcome to Holodrum. I am Din, the dancer," she said with glee. "Would you like to dance with me? Don't be shy. It will be more fun if we dance together." She took him by the hand, and he reluctantly began to dance. Unfortunately, this blissful moment did not last long. The sky suddenly went dark, and there was a loud crash of thunder, followed by a resounding, thunderous voice.
"I've found you, Din! You can't deceive me by disguising yourself as a dancer. I am Onox, General of Darkness! Now reveal yourself, Oracle of Seasons!"
Link was blown back by the tornado as he struggled against its awesome force, and Din was swept away in the wind...

Bottom Line: Play it! Following a "Pokemon" style of having two different style games that combine for a longer adventure; Oracle of Seasons was released beside Oracle of Ages.
Oracle of Seasons brought users into a new world to explore with a new style of playing. In Seasons, link controls the...well...seasons. Where you come across a lake, and you need to get to the other size, with a swing of the staff he could go to winter and freeze the lake. Along the way you meet a whole cast of interesting characters. You also get a lot of traditional items that are iconic to the Zelda franchise. The variation of Seasons to Ages is Seasons relies more on fighting as opposed to harder puzzles like in Ages. After completion of Seasons, the player is allowed to continue to Ages and continue his adventure. Along the way through Ages, he will encounter old friends and after completion of Ages, Link fights the ultimate boss. Ganon. Learning Curve: Instant!
