I love Ocarina of Time, but I'd have to go with Majora's Mask. In MM, the player was able to interact with the characters a lot more (dur :wall: ) but becuase of that it was such a short game. The details in the buildings, character models, everything...! All of it has been modified to be best fitted. Just beucaes of those improvements, the game was shorter becuase of the lack of ROM memory. That is another reason they switched to disks ^.^ ! Ocarina of Time was better with adventure. Though Hyrule Field was a giant wasteland with NO enemies, the temples and stages were great! Thus, Ocarina of Time didn't have much character interactiveness (is that a word? :deadlink: ).

Yeah, that's it for me really.

I really like both of those games...I voted for MM, though. When I first played it, I hated it thoroughly, but a few years later I tried it again and I really really liked its creepy vibe. I also really like the Fierce Deity and the Gilded Sword. Also, the little guy in this game is a seasoned veteran from MM, yet he's still a little kid...

The only thing that really sucked about MM was the ending music...oh my god that sucked (at least if you did the band subquest). :soldier:

I don't think that there really is a true answer, it's just a matter of opinion and style. But OoT will probably be the winner, just because it was the first 3D zelda game, and it made the transision flawlessly, keeping all of the traditional zelda values and ideas that you have come to love. It's like with mario. The original super mario bros. game on the nes is labeled as one of the best games of all time, because it was the first. But if say that super mario world was the first and that they released the origianl game as a gamecube game competing with sunshine, metroid prime, and smash bros melee. Would it still be thought of as great? It's not that it is truly a better game than the rest, but it was where you had that first incredible video game experience that nothing else can replace. Everything else in life is like that. Doing your first...let's say performance on stage where it goes well; you love it and feel incredible and will remember it forever. The second time you do it could be even better, but you feel like the first time was the greatest ever and that nothing can replace that. This whole idea could mean nothing for this debate, but I think that it is a very influential factor. MM tried something new and totally different from the normal style of zelda, some people like it and some people don't. But like others said, you had that first 3D zelda experience that worked amazingly well on OoT, and for many it cannot be compared to anything. But then, I never even finished the OoT game (almost, did the fire/water/forest dungeons as an adult) and I never even played MM.

Majora's Mask > OoT. MM basicly took the gameplay of OoT and fixed all the little flaws in it (bland world, slow scrolling test, NAVI, NPCs with no personality, etc.). I also really enjoy the concept of each character having some meaning or purpose at some point in the game. It made Termina feel more...realistic, more realistic than Hyrule has EVER been.

Ok, what I'm seeing is just.... annoying. Majora's Mask better than the Legendary 3d Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time?! Sick! Majora's mask was kinda neat. But I'd have to say it was one of the crappiest games. The whole darkness to the game and the grpahics upgrade and stuff was cool but the whole 3 days and the saving system was just bull. I like challenges... that wasn't challenging, just stupid. I couldn't stand it. The saving system was so gay. I'd have to say it would only come close to being better than the OOT if instead of showing that little "time running out" at the bottom, it gave you all the time you needed and let you save normally.

...But this is just my opinion. :cucco:

Majora's Mask enjoyed a fully fledged engine, and a roster of models, effects, sounds, etc... and because of that it got it's production time jacked in two. So expecially considering that, it's an awesome game.

The real problem is- it's groundhog day. you have to do the same dang stuff again and again. but that's trivial compared to the stuff that allows for- beautiful characters, landscape scripting, alternate endings, endless boss fights, etc.

No, it didn't have the epic feel of OoT. Which sucks, I love epic. And it didn't have the classic story either- but is that a bad thing? Frankly, I got bored in 4SA, so the cunning, twisty story of MM really got my attention. w00t strange masks which f--- up the world.

So ja, I gave my vote to MM.

I prefer MM mostly because the game itself looks completely twisted.

The saving system was so gay.


What do homosexuality have to do with this topic? <_<

Anyways, I prefer OoT, although MM was a great game. It's just that I prefer the games that are about Link, Zelda, Hyrule, the Triforce and Ganon.

Ocarina of Time is the greatest game ever made. There is no way Majora's Mask can compete.

In response to the second poster (I hate it when I have to leave forums alone for a few days, and lose track of all the good threads), I have to agree with you. When I got OoT, all my friends has it, and there was this certain aura around it. Once you went through the game, you discover that the storyline of the game makes it well worth the buy, but once you've played it once, it loses that aura, and it becomes just another game (albeit a very long one). Having never really played MM though, I can't really vote in this poll, but I did anyway.

I thought the ending was MUCH more touching than in Oot. I mean, I really liked Oot just as much, but the ending just disappointed me b/c they never get Link and Zelda together, my god! MM, however, if you helped all the people and everything, you get to see how they turn out, and then the part when Link had to leave... Yeah, I don't know about y'all, but that just brought tears to my eyes. Happy, yet sad. That's how all endings are, and if you're like me, which I know most of you are, I get sad everytime I finish a game just b/c it's sad when you've finished a game! But...that doesn't mean you can't relive the experience again... Hee-hee!

Confession: I never got very far in MM cause the game never got my attention. I tried to play through it, but I hate the way you must save. And I think I got stuck somewhere, and kept having no time to play it.

Must I finish it now?

Nah... You finish it whenever you want to finish it. Just don't wait too long 'cause then you forget most or all of the storyline and then you'll have to start over. By the way...in an old magazine I read the top 100 games ever made, and MM came before Oot. I can't remember what numbers they were. I think Oot was like #45 and MM was #44 'cause I remember it was a close tie between the two. Just wanted to let y'all know!

Bull. MM just does not hold the same magic as OoT. Like Spikey, I found it VERY hard to finish...the Goht battle was fun, though.

OoT comes out generally as the best game EVER released on Nintendo consoles, followed by SMW & Alttp I think.

Hey, watch your mouth, little lady! It was in an old Gamepro magazine, k? Just telling you what I read! If it makes you happy, I believe none of the Sonic games got as far as Oot or MM. The first Legend of Zelda for Nintendo was in the top ten. Besides, all of that is probably just based on polls done by the people who do the magazine or maybe their own opinions. To me, I've really never agreed with most of those scores and stuff that magazines give games. It really depends on the gamer's opinion. They gave the Vampire Hunter D game like 2 discs out of 5, and I played it and thought it was okay. Sure, the graphics weren't terrific and the controls were hard and at some points of the game there weren't enough blood pills around, but I beat it and I thought it wasn't that bad. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and it should be respected whether someone likes it or not. That's how I see it. Like I said, you don't have to finish MM, but if you are planning on still playing it through, I advise you to keep it to a minimum on the lapse of time b/t when you stopped playing it and when you start playing it again. If you really just think it's boring, Spikey, don't finish it. Don't play something that you're not having fun with. K?

Ocarina had a better storyline, soundtrack and feel, but Majora was just much more fun. Ocarina remains a classic, but Majora is the superior game.

Yeah. When I did that one thing for the Bomber's Notebook to get a heartpiece, I was like, "What the heck?! That's supposed to be a freakin' toilet?! If it is, then why the hell is someone living in it?! My god!" My little brother thought the sounds he made were hilarious. Sounded like he was having some trouble dropping the kids off at the pool, if ya know what I mean! *winks in an all-knowing manner* Heh heh.

Tough choice seeing as they are my two favourite Zelda games.
But i played Ocarina of Time first and it still feels the most magical to me. I will never forget the way it felt the first time i played it so yeah OoT gets my vote.

Someone touched on MM's saving system earlier, and I agree that I found it a little irritating. I would sometimes sit down and play OoT when I had a few spare minutes. If I was in a dungeon, I might just find the next key that would be it. But I only play MM when I have some time set aside for it, because I don't want to waste part of my 72 hours exiting the dungeon and going back to the owl statue. I found it a little annoying. I like being able to save on the spot. Then again, to get out of say, LoZ or AoL, I would have to kill poor Linky each time, so MM isn't so bad.

I think each game has its good points.

Ocarina of Time - when it came out it raised the benchmark in so many aspects of 3D gaming. I've noticed a lot of people here vote for MM because once they have played it and gone back to Ocarina, OoT seems a little lacking. But remember that MM has the advantage of 2 years, and the expansion pak, to make it bigger and better. I think OoT is probably the ultimate 'classic' Zelda game (that could be argued) - not only did it have everything 'Zelda', i.e. Zelda, Hyrule, Ganon, Triforce, but these things were stunningly created into 3D. It is sad that OoT's graphics are now out of date but at the time it was an awe-inspiring transition from 2D into 3D. I think it has an excellent storyline too.

The sequel to Ocarina was always going to be a hard act to follow. Nintendo took 2 things from this game 1) the idea of going back in time and altering the future and 2) The masks, which was a simple side-quest in OoT. Revolving the game around a 3 day sequence was a brilliant idea. Not only did this make things interesting, as you could essentially be in many different places at the same time, or you could follow a single character around for 3 days, but it added more of a challenge as if you did not complete something by the end of the 3 days, you needed to start over. The number of dungeons (OoT had 8 while MM had 4) was replaced by more interactivity with characters and more sidequests. What I think was MM's biggest downfall was the final boss - Majora. He lacked Ganondorf's substance, and he was far too easy to defeat.

Overall, I think both are amazing games, but I would choose OoT over MM.

i have trouble deciding which one I like better. OoT was "legendarily" good while MM was eerily good. Both two distinct flavors of Zelda gaming.

I think Lysia basically echoed what I was trying to say. MM is not bad in any way, but the lack of that "classic" feel irritated me, and I also don't have time to pick up a game for hours on end, like InuYashaFanR could tell you. I like saving on the spot.

P.S. sonicsgirl, I am really sorry if I insulted you or sounded intolerant. I really didn't mean to. I come from a board with a lot of intoleratn people, I gotta say. Heh. You should see THAT board after the election. They're probably whining for days that Kerry didn't win and pissing each other off!
