Seasons is a truly execptional Zelda game that despite it's short length delivers great action and fun.
And as usual, they have come up with a solid handheld game. Seasons comes as a set with Oracle of Ages and both have many similarities but more differences. And that's good because both Seasons and Ages do not go the path games like Gold and Silver adopted. The world of Seasons and Ages are completely different.
Seasons starts with Link being transported by TriForce to another world. You meet up with Din who is actually the Oracle of Seasons. Onox, the general of Darkness captures her sinks the Temple of Seasons which eventually puts the seasons into a complete disarray.
The primary difference between Ages and Seasons is that the latter focuses on action whereas the former focuses on the basic puzzles sort of gameplay. The graphics in both are identical but the music is different. But the music does really well to suit up with the mood.
In Seasons, the main object is Rod of Seasons which once you gain a Season spirit gives you the power to control season at your own will. In winter, lakes get frozen so do trees opening up new roads. Similarly there are the same things for other seasons as well.
Even if Seasons is an action oriented game still expect a good amount of puzzles to be included. The game should take a good 20-30 hours or so.
Even though, old Zelda fans will prefer Ages as it includes the time travel element, newer Zelda fans will prefer Seasons over Ages as it features a more fast paced gameplay virtue of this legendary series.
