For context I played the two games in the order:
Ages > Seasons
I often hear the Ages is more puzzle focused, while Seasons focuses on the combat, by that description made me think they went all out in both games and almost put me off playing Seasons due to me not finding Zelda combat the most interesting combat system available. Yes Ages dungeons are super puzzle orientated while Seasons do have more combat rooms, the games still feel very much like Zelda games and tbh they aren’t as different as that led me to believe.
Seasons just feels idk more generic I guess. It still has some of that early Zelda charm, but the characters and world of Ages are crazy and amazing and I love it, while Seasons dork at really have any character outside of Link with a noteable amount of screen time and imo it suffers as a result.
However the magnet glove is my favourite Zelda item and the boss of the dungeon it is introduced in is also probably my favourite Zelda boss. The magic boomerang is definitely my favourite version of the Zelda boomerang.
In conclusion I feel saying “Ages is more puzzle focused, while Seasons is more combat focused” is a true statement, it looks over many of the differences between these two games.
