UPDATE: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages have been cofirmed for North America by Eiji Aonuma, longtime series developer.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages will be released on the Japanese Nintendo 3DS eShop next
For an initial sale price of 500 yen each, the games will be discounted until March 20 at 11:59 p.m., at which point they revert to price of 600 yen each.
The games were the first in the series to be developed by Capcom, who later honed their top-down Zelda crafting skills into the creation of The Minish Cap and the Four Swords spinoff series. Each game featured a separate adventure that could then be connected to the other via the Game Boy Link Cable to expand the quest and unlockfurther story details.
There have been no specifics of exactly how the link connection will work in the digital version revealed, but it has been confirmed to be possible.
Let's remain positive that Nintendo branches from other regions and localize these two games before long.
...History Seems to prove otherwise.
Surely Nintendo and Capcom aren't opposed to re-releasing a game for some easy money.

With Nintendo you might have a case related to a few very specific titles, but with Capcom I'm not so sure. Which games that don't have obvious licensing/copyright issues and do have obvious sales potential were held back by either company?
Don't know, they pretty much stand together quality wise. Season has some great tunes. I've played them so often, I don't really need them. Yeah, right. My 3DS is a portable Zelda machine.you can play like half the series on that system
It's nice that the 3DS VC is getting some more GBC games.except half of them will be zelda games in the us
The GameCube can play all Zeldas that released pre-2007 with the GameBoy Player.

It can play the CDi Zelda games? :P: :
ughhhhhh! Nintendo keeps giving me reasons to plunge and buy a 3DS.. I loved OoS when I played it (2006 maybe?!) and always mean to check out OoA..
STOP TRYING TO TAKE MY MONEY NINTENDO!
So would the GBA ring/shop be an option on the 3DS emulation?That would be nice. It wasn't a great prize, but I think it shouldn't be forgotten.
I thought it was the opposite - Seasons was more puzzle-oriented and Ages was more about battle. It's been so long since I played them that the two bleed together in my memory, I look forward to giving them another go.
I do remember that the Link Cable was required for a side quest involving collectible rings, of which there was a large list and some could only be obtained in each game. There was also one for booting the game in a GBA, since these two games came out at the end of the GBC's life. As far as story connectivity was involved, however, it used a series of passwords that could be entered into the opposite title.

I had to check Wikipedia because I was curious, and while I know it isn't the best source for information on certain things, I think it's safe to say this article is accurate; Ages concentrates on puzzles, while Seasons focuses on action.
