Not as big on the time travel mechanic as I am the seasons mechanic because it was done before and, time wise, using the harp is more tedious than the rod in OoS. There are some great dungeons but the bizarre control change for swimming after getting the mermaid suit is my biggest reason for preferring the other version. Swimming becomes obnoxious. The reuse of music and graphics is why I ultimately end up preferring Link's Awakening to either Oracle game. Nonetheless, Ages is still an enjoyable game.
