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)
Este 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. A história neste manga acaba por ser um resumo destes dois jogos que se interligam. 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.
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.
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. E agora tenho uma saudades imensas de jogar estes dois, acho que tenho de ir tirar o pó à Gameboy Color!
Já para não falar no facto de ter passado o dia todo com a música do jogo a ser trauteada na minha cabeça XD

I used to play a lot of Zelda, and now my oldest son is starting his turn. I bought him this manga so he can see older stories and not just the one he's playing!
He loved this manga and so do I! It rang a lot of bells!

After reading the Ocarina of Time manga, I didn't have very high expectations. This book exceeded them... slightly.
This story has a new Link, distinct from the character in Ocarina of Time. 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).
If you've played the games, you'll find that many characters who once felt like game mechanics are now actual characters. You'll start to get a deeper understanding of their lives and what they actually do when they're not being objects. 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. I am a little sad to say that Vasu didn't make an appearance, though.
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. It had a lot of high-action moments, but the motivations for these moments often felt forced and unclear. 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.
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's the same Link, and the events of the previous story are remembered and reflected going forward. For a Legend of Zelda manga, this is praiseworthy. The story itself moved at a comfortable pace, exploring a variety of interesting characters and their motivations. 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. Ages also doubled down on the "problem solving" aspect, making real thoughtful use of the time travel mechanic and a few key items. Just don't expect any established laws of time travel to be consistently followed whatsoever.
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. It was about as shallow as I expected, but the writers' attention to detail deserves credit nevertheless.
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 certainly held my attention better than both volumes of the Ocarina of Time manga. I'd recommend this to anyone who can't get enough of the original Oracle games.

Dos aventuras de Link, aunque van encadenadas. (Y qe parece que habra alguna otra historia como continuacion)
Un Link que no tiene que ver con el Volumen anterior.
Dos aventuras entretenidas, si la primera un tanto cliche, pero estan bien.
En la primera, Oraculo de las Estaciones, Link todo novato, es transportado a un lugar lejos de Hyrule, donde concera a una bailarina especial, que es secuestrada por el malvado, y pues tiene que rescatarla, y en el camino aprender a luchar, hacer amigos, y descubrir su verdadero ser. Entretenida. Y el Kanguro y la brujita son comicos.
En la segunda, el oraculo del tiempo, pues es otra aventura donde ahora Link viaja al pasado, para evitar que una entidad mala/bruja cambie las cosas (aunque parece que antes de eso se pone a construir una torre), Igual mucha aventura.

Een leuke duologie aan verhalen die je best achter elkaar doorleest zodat je de draad van het verhaal niet kwijt geraakt. Het voelde wel vreemd om hierin te beginnen net na Ocarina of Time aangezien Link weer moet leren een ridder te worden, maar het verhaal zelf was op zijn minst interessant genoeg om dit te doen vergeten.

Un poco aburrida la primera parte pero al final resulta ser una historia emocionante y llena de amistad. Bueno para pasar el rato.

Probably the weakest of all the mangas, which is a dissapointment as the games are some of the best that 2D Zelda has to offer.

3.25/5
Sweet lil story, but couldn't help compare it to Ocarina of Time.
It had lots of similar concepts but OoT did them better (e.g. chick/fairy guide, Epona vs other horse, consequences of villain succeeding was more impactful in OoT, backstories, the rescue quest, etc).
Mostly though, I missed the stronger connection Link & Zelda had in OoT. That one felt like fate, actively seeking each other('s mission/goals) out and focused more on them - from the moment Zelda was like Princess Jasmin seeking out a normal fun life with Aladdin all the way to being separated in time & yearning. In this book, it felt more like a passing opportunity and no significant bond between the two.
OoT also just felt more special and this one didn't set itself as much as apart as it should've if it wanted to be its own thing.
That all sounds pretty harsh though, because I truly did enjoy it. I prefer the story part of Oracle of Ages half over Oracle of Seasons (the two-part stories in this 1 book). Although I far more prefered Veran as a villain to Onox, so Seasons had that going for it.
Of course the icing on the cake was Link meeting Raven! If you know, you know.

A fun classic adventure. I know it’s usually a turn off for people when books become way too predictable. But I feel like it’s okay for this book I just liked how Link slashed his through enemies. And how is adventures unfold. The only I wish the book had was more Zelda, and that’s about it :)

Everything you would come to expect from a Zelda manga. Purchased this as a little gift to myself while away in Oxford and was a nice opportunity to finally understand some of the story behind the Oracle series which I never finished (as almost all the Zelda games I’ve attempted!).

i loved the two stories and sir raven is truly a man who should be brought into the game canon because he is amazing
January 25, 2018
I was given this wonderful manga for my birthday. When I started, I could not put it down. The Oracle games are one of my favorite handheld classic Zelda titles. To play the games first, only to then read the illustrated retelling is amazing. It blew my mind. It was an entirely new experience, yet took me back to when I first started my adventure. This is the first title to hit my manga collection and will be cherished until it can no longer be read.

Oracle of Seasons- 🌟: 5/5
This Manga was so much fun to read! I have been consistently impressed with the way these stories have been adapted into this format, especially considering that I haven't played the corresponding game and still felt like the plot and characters were clearly developed.
The adventure that took place in this story was a lot of fun, but the stakes were still high enough for me to feel invested in the action. It was a wonderful balance!
Link's personality is always fantastic, and I feel that this Manga got it right. The other characters also felt fleshed out and fun to read about despite the small amount of page time available to them. I even teared up a little near the end because I was so invested in these cute characters!
Overall, Oracle of Seasons (Manga) by Akira Himekawa was a fantastic read! I'm planning to continue on and read the Oracle of Ages section tomorrow!
Oracle of Ages- 🌟:4/5
This section of the Manga was still highly enjoyable, intriguing, and fun to read, but it was less clear and cohesive than the previous story. The characters were loveable, but I didn't find myself particularly attached to them like I was to the characters Oracle of Seasons. The art style, intrigue, and plot were still so much fun, though. This was the perfect read to get my mind off of the election for a few hours!
Without having played the game, I did find the plot a bit confusing and unclear at times throughout this Manga version of the story. The characters did not seem as developed, and I had a harder time getting invested in the story because of that.
Still, this Manga was a fun read when I needed a reprieve, and I'm glad I took the time to read it!

This legendary edition combines two of the Legend of Zelda mangas into one book. One story for the Oracle of Seasons and the other story for the Oracle of Ages. As these are two books, I have separate thoughts for each book. I am less familiar with the stories of these games, which made it easier to just enjoy rather than critique every single change.
The first book, which focuses on the Oracle of Seasons, I liked less than the other book in this edition. I did not like Link’s progression as a character in this book. They tried to set up a whole arc for Link, but I feel his triumphs were unearned. At the end of the story he easily defeats the enemy, though earlier the enemy easily defeated him. They did not show any growth or progression for Link. All dungeons were cut out of this book, which is fine, but I feel those are what would have best shown growth or progression. Instead they focused more on the story of Seasons, which was fine because they at least did a great job at making the game come to life. Another issue I have is the rod of seasons went from having missing stones (seasons), to being at full power, with no show of it getting stronger.
The second book, which focuses on the Oracle of Ages, I liked a lot more. Interestingly enough this one doesn’t follow the story of the game nearly as much as Seasons, but I enjoyed it much more. This one didn’t feel as rushed as Seasons. This allowed me to better enjoy the game and it felt like progression and growth (as little as they are), came for naturally in this book. I really liked the idea of Link meeting and working with an ancestor (something that doesn’t happen in the game).

Este volumen contiene dos historias: el oráculo de las temporadas y el oráculo del tiempo. A mí parecer es la segunda historia la que está mejor construida, ya que la primera es bastante sosa, bastante predecible, sin ningún misterio aparente o hilo que vuelva la trama interesante y además los personajes de soporte (a excepción de Maple) son bastante genéricos y que sean animales que hablan me rompe de cierta manera lo que yo espero de una historia de Zelda.
En cambio la segunda trama está mejor construida, tiene algunos giros no muy sorprendentes pero interesantes, el personaje de Sir Raven es muy interesante y la manera en la que se siente motivado por ayudar a los demás me gustó mucho. La parte de Link en el barco me pareció un poco anti climática porque todo sucede de la nada sin mucha explicación pero al final abona algo a la trama general.
El arte fue lo que más me gustó de esta historia, la distribución de las viñetas y lo que muestra cada una me pareció muy cinematográfico, bastante dinámico y una buena manera de narrar la acción. El hecho de que muchas veces las viñetas no estuvieran limitadas en caja y que la página entera llevara la fluidez de los movimientos, no es una técnica fácil de lograr pero aquí está bien lograda.
En general la trama es sencilla y recomendaría esto para el público infantil.

This set of stories was an interesting read for sure. I'm not as familiar with the oracle games as I am with the other manga adaptations I've read so far. I have played them before, but just not as many times as OOT or MM so my opinions on the adaptation are a little less informed than past volumes. As far as what's presented, I thought both of these stories were just okay. Oracle of Ages I think had a bit more going for it, with the time travel element, but the characters in both stories were a ton of fun. I do wish that there were more connecting moments between the two stories as they are supposed to feed into each other like in the games, but I understand if that wasn't possible with how the stories were originally published. I feel like the pacing is still a big issue with these adaptations. The stories move at such breakneck speed that it's hard to really invest in the characters which is so interesting compared to the Link to the Past adaptation since story structure-wise LTTP and the oracle games are very similar. I just feel like the pacing of LTTP was a lot stronger. Despite that, this book was a ton of fun to read. It's been very interesting reading and rereading these adaptations I enjoyed when I was younger. It definitely puts me in the mood to replay some Zelda games, which if that's the goal of these adaptations, I'd say they're very successful.

This graphic novel combines the two stories Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages into one combined story. I loved seeing the character of Link in a situation that gives him more personality and dialogue than the video games. I have never played the Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons game, so the story was fresh to me, and it made me wonder what the game actually played like and how similar the game stories and the novel stories compared. The story itself seemed pretty simple, but was an enjoyable read.
I enjoyed the artwork generally, and thought the action was entertaining, but I had difficulty understanding what some of the images and pictures were as they combined frequently with pictures from other frames. This could be just due to my relatively infrequent reading of graphic novels, but it was frustrating at times. The other thing that I got a kick out of was the word choices for the onomatopoeia in the story. Again, this could be due to my inexperience with these books, but words like “wobble” and “kshing” and “ba-goom” seemed pretty funny to me.
The book was enjoyable, and it piqued my interest in reading the other Zelda books that correspond to the video games I have actually played, especially Ocarina of Time.

Having read
The Legend of Zelda: Legendary Edition, Vol. 1: Ocarina of Time
in January last year, and enjoying it all right, I decided to give this second volume, collecting the two connected story arcs, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages (along with Oracle of Seasons: Short Edition), a go. Frankly, I started reading in May last year, and worked my way through Oracle of Seasons, which is an entirely okay story, but for some reasons, the story did not grab me enough to immediately jump onto the second arc, which instead left me taking a break there. Until now.
So, what does all of that mean? I am not sure. I put most of it down to strange reading habits and decisions in a very weird year. The volume as a whole is perfectly fine. We have Link stepping up to do heroic things, first in order to save Din the Dancer, the Oracle of Seasons, from Onox, the General of Darkness; and then, in a mad time travelling quest, Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, from Veran, King of Evil. As with the preceding volume, I am caught between a familiarity with some of Zelda mythos and no familiarity with the specific games these stories are based on.
Over all, an enjoyable read – no more, no less.

I haven't got a chance to play Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages when they 1st came out in the early 2000's and I've been meaning to play those games till I got a 3DS in 2011 and I downloaded both games on 3DS Virtual Console in 2013. Sadly I couldn't finish those games due to personal reasons aaaaaaaaand my old 3DS isn't working anymore
I just hope some Game Boy Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games are part of the Nintendo Switch Online roster soooooooo... fingers crossed
I used to read TLOZ Legendary Edition volume 2 probably in 2018 or 2019 so this is a reread
So TLOZ Legendary Edition volume 2 contains 10 volumes of Seasons and 11 of Ages loosely based on a couple of Capcom developed Game Boy Color games written and illustrated by Akira Himekawa. It follows Link around the adventures at Hyrule to save the Oracle of Seasons from General Onox and then the Oracle of Ages from the Sorceress of Shadows
Despite that it's loosely based the action sequences looks great but it's got some great sense of humour
It's a good read but if you didn't like it then stick with a couple of Game Boy Color games

I haven't played either of these games, so I don't have anything to compare these parts of the story too.
Oracle of Seasons seemed like it was trying hard to be a comedy, it was okay.
Oracle of Ages seemed better than Seasons. There seemed to be an increasing amount of typos and mistakes in the last quarter of the story, though. The biggest mistake I noticed was after Raven took an arrow to his right shoulder. They claimed he only had one good arm at that moment, but he was still fighting with his RIGHT arm, nothing had happened to his left, so why would he still be fighting with the same arm in which he got shot in the shoulder. This made no sense to me.
As a whole, I think the two stories together are decent enough for a 3/5.
The short version of Oracle of Seasons at the end was so quick, Link didn't even meet all of his friends. It was practically comedically fast, starring only Link and Maple.

I haven't had the chance to play any of the Oracle games, so I came to this with a little bit of knowledge from past content I've watched.
As the the second installment of this Legendary Edition series, I have to say I enjoyed this book a little bit more than Ocarina of Time. It felt better paced (at least with Seasons), and the characters held more importance and felt more involved throughout the story.
"Twinrova! Ganon! It doesn't matter if you destroy the land or cause the people suffering... As long as the hearts of heroes and the people are one... We won't throw away hope! Come back to life a thousand times and in any age, a hero bearing this symbol will appear to bring an end to your reign of terror!" (Link, p.373)
Individually, Oracle of Seasons is the superior story. Even though Oracle of Ages is a direct sequel within the book, it felt a bit short continuing what Oracle of Seasons started.
Ratings:
Oracle of Seasons: 4.58
Oracle of Ages: 4.20
Overall: 4.40 (4 stars)
