the way i see it, most people had at least one of 5 issues with majora, which may have swung their votes to OoT. Let's look at those, and rethink if they're legit or really just misconceptions.
1) saving: put this into perspective. you can only save at owls or when you're willing to return to CT day 1. ok, how is that different from say metroid prime? or any game that limits you to save points, or only at the ends of levels? let's face it, in OoT you were equally screwed if you had to save and shut down middungeon... majora takes the dungeon issue into account and so it's puzzles reflect not getting keys and throwing switches that are permanent, but doing a moderate puzzle every time you play, such as kill all the enemies, which you would usually do anyway. so i feel that saving isn't really a viable complaint, because it's so similar to ordinary games way of saving.
2) fewer dungeons: ok, this kind of sucked, but then again, you did have a sub dungeon/area/quest for each one. take the two castle/palaces, the pirates' fortress, the whole ghost thing in the north and then the skeleton thing in ikana. not to mention the highly detailed overworld, which blend much better than OoT did. so while it's a legit complaint, it too holds little wonder.
3) epic vs. strange/dark/twisted: ok, let's not touch this one because it's opinion
4) cutscenes: majora wins flat out. there are fewer but they're much much better, and there's a lot more ingame scenes.
5) characters: ok, so zeldashows up once in mm, but we can discount that, and ganon not at all. so two of the three main characters are missing, which counts heavily in OoT's favor. but mm had much more developed, real characters who tugged at your heartstrings and pissed you off regulary.
that's enough typing. once again, i'd say mm takes the cake. mmm cake *mouth waters*

(Only topic creators can post polls. And yeah, this isnt' really the place to ask. It's probably best to PM a staff member with questions like that.)
Re) Complaint 2: I think that OoT had enough sub quests: For example, Dampe's grave, the Bottom of the Well, the Gerudo's fortress. Like MM, you had to do certain things before you were able to get into the level.

They are a close race, albeit very hard to compare. They are two different animals, let's face it, and it all depends on what you're looking for. I prefer epics with a strong sense of purpose, but I also almost HAVE to have great cutscenes and character development, so I'm torn. I chose OoT, however, because it was a groundbreaker for the age, and MM just wasn't what I expected. That, and I'm an impulse player. Can't sit down for hours and work like most folks, and you HAVE to do that on MM.

I like Oot better because of the story, i like the land, and well you get to be regular normal Adult Link, and of course Ganon is the coolest boss ever, He can beat Majora any day of the week, because Ganons the king of evil and is cool looking.

I'll admit, some of the stuff in MM was quite tedious, like the gathering of the fairies in order to get your additional powers. Still...I enjoyed the game throuroughly, and I also enjoyed Oot, too. I just plain old love Zelda games b/c they're RPGs, and I LOVE RPGs. Well, at least I don't like those games for Zelda that came out for that one console... You know, the one where Link looks like he's got freakin' lipstick on. My God! How could they torture him like that?! That's just evil!

Majora's Mask is far better than Ocarina of Time in virtually ever respect. It's actually laughable how shallow OoT is when I play it right after having played MM.
Errr, for me, it's totally the other way around. I like much, much more the epic storyline of OoT instead of the MM storymess. GO OoT!!!!

MM hands down! Nothing against OoT but MM is just better. OoT is rough around the edge compared to MM.

MM was a truly awesome game. It had fresh ideas like the three day schedules and deep characters. I love the game. I really do. It just didn't give me that feeling that OoT did. It was epic. What can I say? I'm nostalgic. It brought back great memories from previous games. Just the fact that it was in Hyrule. I remember looking forward to seeing Hyrule in 3D in all it's glory. It just felt like... Zelda. It had that magical feel to it. I have nothing against MM, they're very close to one another, but I just find that I get into the story of OoT more.

It's very hard to decide, but I played OoT longer than MM, and my choice is leaning towards it, so OoT gets my vote.

imo they're not rpg's. they're adventure. (except AoL) i think rpg's have stats, exp, level-ups, etc.I just plain old love Zelda games b/c they're RPGs, and I LOVE RPGs.

Yah I too am pretty sure Zelda can't be classified as RPGs, or atleast an RPG format game.

Majora's Mask is more of a challenge to me than Ocarina of Time, that's why I choose that one.

True, but challenge isn't what I play games for, oddly enough. Sometimes I feel mighty left out, because every gamer won't play a game unless it's a bit HARD. I don't care for difficulty at all, I'll play easy, and never unlock the Ult. AI. Why? My criteria for games is that they be FUN.
I'm kind of odd girl out.

I like a game to have really awsome gameplay and movement, as well as it the game being fun. I dont care what the difficulty is, as long as the concept, the gameplay, and the fun factor is good.

MM seemed too slow for me, plus it wasn't expansive enough. I felt cramped; as if the whole game was happening in one room.

I hate MM. OoT is so much better. MM mask pissed me off because it just felt like a waste of time. It wasn't Hyrule, it wasn't Ganon, and Zelda was only in a flashback. It didn't have the epic proportions of OoT or any other Ganon-big-bad game. I didn't care about this new "Termina" and the moon slaughtering them all. My favorite thing about MM by far was the Anju and Kafei (SP?) side quest. I thought they were so adorable. But other than that... OoT all the way.

Exactly. The landscape was not realistic. It felt like a jigsaw puzzle, not a "Middle-earthian" if you will, kingdom, or even a silly town, (which it was,) it felt slapped together.MM seemed too slow for me, plus it wasn't expansive enough. I felt cramped; as if the whole game was happening in one room.

Well, I don't HATE MM, but I know what you mean. Why on earth would we care about Termina? Eventually it grows on you, but the drastic pull from the epic feel we know and love didn't get it for me. I was just thinking, meh, I'll get over it, this is different and good in its own way, but then...the ending. It was so slipshod, so offbeat, (though dialogue was well done) I was insulted, and only felt truly gratified by, you guessed it, the Anju/Kafei subquest. Now THAT was the perfect blend of mystery and blatancy.

I don't consider myself a gamer; I became interested in Zelda for the story. I simply preferred the story of Majora's Mask.
And as per what Zelda is: I've come to call it an adventure series with RPG elements. But I don't feel it's anywhere near a true RPG, simply because it's well outside the RPG "boundary" well-marked, in my opinion, by Chrono Trigger. (Nope, not a gamer! No sirree!)

I like the Ocarina of Time better because it has great story and great gameplay and great music. In the Majora's Mask you have to return to the first day everytime the third day ends which is a pain in the butt. The mountains for example, after you defeat a boss and turn the environment back to spring, you leave the place then come back, then the environment's condition is back where it was before, winter.
