Are these two entirely seperate games or is it like a Pokemon

They're separate but after you beat one you can link it to the other and get new content, and the order doesn't matter

Entirely separate, but play on the same game engine/mechanics.

After you beat one, you get a password to link to the other. Beat the game using the password link, you get the True Final Boss and ending you can't get otherwise

Is there away to do this without 2 gameboys?

>>4222151
Why would you need 2 game boys? the linking is password based, not link cable based

It's kind of amazing how Pokemon fucked up the general idea of these games' link system.
I remember someone going on an angry autistic rant about how he vowed to never buy these games back in the day because he thought you needed two gameboys to get the full experience.

>>4222280
Well you kind of do need 2 game boys. Some Pokemon can only be evolved through trading

>>4222135
They are three entirely separate games.

>>4222158
You 'can' use a link cable, but it's oddly unintuitive. In my experience, it was faster just to use the password than referencing the manual to figure out how to use the cable.

There's no added benefit to using the cable. It's just an option.

Pokemon yes, Zelda no.

My bad, misread ur post

Separate games. When you clear a game, there's a cliffhanger and then you get a password. Then you can start the other game with that password and story events are different so that it plays out like a direct sequel, and then there's a proper ending.

Also there are separate passwords you learn from and give to NPC's to transfer secret items, like bombchu's and the biggoron sword.

Aside from sharing most the same engine and graphics/music, completely different games.

Separate adventures that must both be played. There's different ways to play through them as well, giving a lot of replay value.

The order does matter though, the outcome is a bit different.

Which makes it even better to be honest.

Seasons first: able to see every square of the map in Ages, Donkey Kong inspired minigame.

Ages first: Pirate Captain gets closure.

>>4223730
Yep.

I wish I could cast a third game into existance.

>>4223739
There were originally plans for an Oracle of Secrets, but they decided it would make things too complicated having to rewrite different scenarios for every possible order combination.

>>4223880
Makes sense. I wouldn't mind though if a new game wasn't interconnected the same way at this point. Even without the feature they're solid.

>>4223880
I thought that it was because they couldn't figure out how to make a password system that would work for three interconnected games. I also wonder if one of them would have completely been a remake of the First Zelda instead of making references to it throughout like the two games we did get.

>>4222280
Still deserved for the bullshit 4 gameboy + 4 copies system for Four Swords

What was the Pirate Captain closure?

I did the other mini game, it was nice to see Zelda make a impactful cameo. Although the following details really leave much more to be desired.

I mean Zelda give Link a very nice ocean fairing boat so he can go find his lost heritage (i.e. his parents), as reward for saving her again. Link crossing the ocean to find his mom and dad seems like a great setup for something much bigger and more personal to him.

>What was the Pirate Captain closure?

After freeing his ship from the desert, he meets his lover Queen Ambi in Holodrum, who is on vacation in another country and also in the future.

>Oracle of Secrets
