I don't think Link's Awakening is better than either of them IMO. Both are way more polished than that game, even though I love all three.
Seasons would have to be my favorite. I got them both pretty much at the same time as a kid, but I played through both, linked games and all, and I love how much was in them. They sure were linear, unlike A Link to the Past, but that's fine; as long as the game is actually entertaining to play, I don't mind linearity...but sure as hell would've preferred it if we could do more exploring and sequence mixing. Ages was more about puzzle solving than action (It WAS the Mystical Seed of Wisdom Game), while Seasons was more about action than puzzle solving (It WAS the Mystical Seed of Power game)....if only they had actually made Oracle of Secrets (the Mystical Seed of Courage) game...it would've felt complete! Farore totally deserved to have her own game....but instead she gets to live in a tree for the rest of her life...how wonderful =D.
