Yes I'm definitely getting them, I have the originals but haven't played them for years, so I'm quite excited! They are two of my favourite Zelda games.
Same here. Seasons was my favourite. I wish they'd hurry up and appear in the store xD
I might buy one of later on after new leaf is out. Have both of them on gbc somewhere but it would be nice to relive one of them on a brighter and larger screen.
Lots of good memories of playing oracle of seasons while driving across the country when I was younger so I might go with that

I plan on purchasing them, hopefully this week while they supposedly have them at a small discount if you purchase both. Gotta scrounge together some cash for a card.

I might get them. I don't know. I'm not a fan of the 2D games.

I want them. Ages was one of my first Zelda games I ever played. I want to re-experience it again and finally play Seasons too! Wish it would hurry up and become available on the shop.
They finally became available at 3pm GMT. I downloaded both while they're on discount
The discount is valid until the 20th June so you have time

Well, I'm downloading them now.
Nintendo of America's Twitter is running a contest in which you can win a download code for both titles. If you want to try your luck have it there. :> Just use #eShop in your tweet.
You have no idea how much I need this game. It's one of the title(s) I will never shut up about once started on. I had them both for GBC waaaaay back in the day and had my files linked. It was one of the most fun times of my life when it comes to video games.
I agree. Its not an easy game either, so its fun AND challenging
I have Seasons, Ages and Links Awakening on my 3DS now lol.
I should probably get the nes ones too when i have some spare money

The only question now is which one to start first haha, I think I might start Ages first to get Zelda in Seasons.
I Always play ages first (even though it's chronologically the other way around). It just doesn't matter. I like ages more but it's one of those mileage may vary things. Personally I find seasons to be harder, so I link a completed ages up with seasons for the extra items for that extra bit of help.
Let me share a story with you guys
I'm 21 now. When I was 9, I had very few games for the GBC. My family was not rich, and it still isn't. Games back then were thirty dollars, off the shelf, and there really wasn't Gamestop as an option. It had just become popular when the Gameboy Color was going out. The games I had were few and very far between, in fact at the end of the GBC era for me (2006) I had only owned 15 games. Considering how many I have now, that's not saying very much.
My mother and I used to take cross-state trips for her work every weekend. We'd be on the road for around 7 hours at a time, and driving down the other side of the state for her job-related duties. I had nothing to do besides sit around and play my Gameboy Color. By this time the Advance was already out, and I had beaten all my games. I had absolutely nothing to look forward to. For Christmas my aunt had sent me fifty dollars, and I had saved that money for something special.
We were at a Target when I finally decided what I wanted. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons were the last games out for my console that I could get. I bought them both. For months I played Ages, and then for months I played Seasons. I had beaten Ages about a year later, and was at the last boss in Seasons, with a fully linked-up game. I felt pretty accomplished! My old apartment manager threw all of my things outside while they replaced the carpeting in our apartment. That included the pouch with all of my games. They of course, ended up stolen and with them went my Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.
The only game I had left was Pokemon Gold and my bashed up Gameboy Color. I had nothing.
For years this destroyed me. I always wanted to know what happened at the end of Seasons. I've ALWAYS wanted to get through the games without a guide for the feeling of accomplishment that I got after beating Ages. I lost both games when I was ten years old, and ever since it has just destroyed me to realize I'll never be able to beat these games without an emulator. It just doesn't feel the same.
Then I saw the article about them being released on Siliconera about a month ago. I started crying.
I saw this thread and remembered they were out today.
I loaded up Oracle of Ages. I actually started crying when the title music played.
This is big for me. This, is probably the best release that I'll ever have the ability to play on the 3DS. For some people it's Animal Crossing, others, Monster Hunter. Maybe even Dragon Quest. Everyone has a game that they bond to completely. I just never had the chance to finish mine.
This is probably the only time I'll say this.
Thank you Nintendo, for caring about people like me.
Edit: Now that I'm thinking aout it, I'm kind of terrified to finish Oracle of Seasons finally. This is an eleven year goal that I've been adamant about finishing. It's just gonna be over. I must sound silly, but this is really important to me.

Sadly, I blew my money on a digital copy of Mario Tennis Open. However, I'm getting a card tomorrow and will download both games. I have a preowned cope of Seasons, but I never really got into it.
Whelp, don't think I'll ever a see a more beautiful story that touches the heart like that on here Zr. Go finish that quest!
