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.
Actually, I would have loved to see a third game in that series. Since we have games that take on a very retro style, such as the recent Mega Man games (or as recent as they will ever be), I think this could be a great possibility.
Also, I think I recall that it is possible to do a little sequence breaking in Seasons. You need Dimitri to swim over to the Subrosa portal that leads to the Tower of Autumn to get that season early. I also recalled completing one dungeon earlier in that game, too, but I can't fully remember how to do it.
You can't do any sequence breaking in Ages, though, because it is more story driven than Seasons.
