I beat the games when they came out, what 13-14 years ago?

I dunno, I beat both, they felt very similar, and they released on the same day. 1 was more puzzle based, the other more action based, but to me they felt like 2 halfs of one game (and that's why you get the true linked ending only when you beat both halves).

Isn;t Twinrova the main villain of both games? Onyx and ......something with a V, they were like her Generals. Like you said they have the same "true ending" which to me sounds more like each game is just a different half to the same experience.

No I remember both games being very similar, I owned both, and I beat both.

Put it this way, are Pokemon Red/Blue different games because they have a few different Pokemon? The differences in Oracle of Ages/Seasons are obviously greater, but you still have the exact same plot (defeat Twinrova, stop the resurrection of Ganon), and take place in the exact same place in the Zelda timeline.

The differences between OoA and OoS are so great that aside from the same true ending plot and a few minor similarities, they are just as different as Link's Awakening is to either OoA or OoS. Put another way, if you've played Pokémon Red, you've essentially also played Blue. You can't say the same about OoA and OoS, not even remotely.

I'm going to disagree with you there. Playing Oracle of Ages/Seasons would be the difference between playing an Ocarina of Time & Master Quest. The difference between these two is one is more action focused, and the other puzzle.

They are two halfs to the same game. Imagine if XenoSaga Episode 1-3 all released on the same day. Would you not consider it 1 game with 3 different parts?
