I bought one of these back in the day, but never got very far in it. I tried them briefly on emulators a couple times over the years but still never really made much progress.

In comparison to other Zelda games, I just seemed to keep getting lost or stuck in these. Did anyone else have a similar experience? Maybe I'll give these a try again while following a guide.

There is definitely a spot early in Ages where it is very easy to get stuck and not know how to progress, right after the second dungeon. Every time I've played the game I've ended up spending a least an hour wandering the map trying to figure out/remember how to get the Rope and the Flippers.

There's also the fact that the dungeon puzzles are some of the more difficult ones in the series. It's actually expected to get temporally stumped from time to time.

I’ve been going through Seasons and, as someone with a full time job, I need a guide from time to time to keep me on track. Dungeons are great. Overworld is trying since you have to figure out what season to be in to get to a place.

Yes! This was my first Zelda game growing up and to this day I haven’t beat it. Lol. Something about these games just make them a little more challenging compared to other Zelda games.

However this really excites me and I’m gonna give these another shot (the nostalgic difficulty)
