This Legendary Edition was a bit of a heavy read, but as it is technically a collection of two original books, this was to be expected. It was about as shallow as I expected, but the writers' attention to detail deserves credit nevertheless. I was pleased to find out that the story also included the secret epilogue that you only get for completing both linked games back-to-back. Just don't expect any established laws of time travel to be consistently followed whatsoever. Ages also doubled down on the "problem solving" aspect, making real thoughtful use of the time travel mechanic and a few key items. It slowed down to give the reader a chance to appreciate the social intrigue and the motives that were actually involved in its central conflict. The story itself moved at a comfortable pace, exploring a variety of interesting characters and their motivations. For a Legend of Zelda manga, this is praiseworthy. It's the same Link, and the events of the previous story are remembered and reflected going forward. The Ages storyline picks up right where Seasons left off, hearkening back to that "play both games back to back" premise that they were marketed on. It felt less like the game in that it had no real arc for problem solving: The dungeons weren't given a mention, and the Rod of Seasons was only ever used once. It had a lot of high-action moments, but the motivations for these moments often felt forced and unclear. ![]() The Seasons storyline felt very rushed and skipped over a lot of the development in favor of hitting all the plot beats as quickly as possible. I am a little sad to say that Vasu didn't make an appearance, though. In that vein, if you were expecting Link to be occupied by a diverse cast of bumbling sidekicks that he'd met in the games, you won't be disappointed. You'll start to get a deeper understanding of their lives and what they actually do when they're not being objects. If you've played the games, you'll find that many characters who once felt like game mechanics are now actual characters. The writers have clearly come a long way, as Link has much more personality and a few character flaws (which usually come down to childish impulse, but that counts for something). This story has a new Link, distinct from the character in Ocarina of Time. Já para não falar no facto de ter passado o dia todo com a música do jogo a ser trauteada na minha cabeça XDĪfter reading the Ocarina of Time manga, I didn't have very high expectations. E agora tenho uma saudades imensas de jogar estes dois, acho que tenho de ir tirar o pó à Gameboy Color! ![]() ![]() Gostei muito, mas, como disse, sendo duas histórias num volume e já tendo jogado os dois jogos, não consigo impedir-me de sentir que a história fica incompleta. Link está a tentar perceber se quer mesmo ser um cavaleiro da Guarda ou se esse é o seu destino apenas porque faz parte de uma linhagem longa de cavaleiros, portanto, quando as coisas começam a correr mal, a vontade dele vai ser posta à prova. Ao contrário do Majora's Mask, que tive de parar de ler porque me estava a dar a história toda do jogo, e que eu quero conhecer quando estiver a jogar, este é tão rápido que têm apenas um vislumbre da sequência de acontecimentos, por isso podem ler à vontade se ainda não tiverem jogado. ![]() A história neste manga acaba por ser um resumo destes dois jogos que se interligam. Se alguém quiser conhecer um pouco do que faz de Legend of Zelda dos jogos mais conhecidos da Nintendo, estes livros definitivamente são um bom sítio para começar! (a menos que queiram jogar, nesse caso comecem pelos jogos XD)Įste livro é sobre os dois primeiros jogos que tive de Zelda, saíram em 2001 para a gameboy color, o Oracle of Seasons e o Oracle of Ages.
