I like both games but Ocarina of Time edges out Majora's Mask.
I like both games but Ocarina of Time edges out Majora's Mask.
While both games were excellent, I favor Majora's Mask. While the story was far more simpistic and non-epic, it has a very heartening property about it that I found rather appealing, the overall story and the little mini stories. It was a slightly interesting concept, and it was a nice change to be able to mix up the way that Link fights. I liked the save system, but I'm a sucker for realistic (well, in game realistic at least) save systems. The ability to just save in OoT was lame in comparison, but understandable. I have replayed this game quite a bit, I like to see how fast I can do things, and that time system gave way for that kind of challenge. My current record is getting everything in 4 cycles, and beating the game in one cycle (in both cases excluding the mandatory first one). Also, every once in a while I find a new thing that happens, or an event that I am usually somewhere else for. I have played through OoT several times, and while it's fun, I pretty much got everything except a few pieces of heart and a quiver upgrade on my first playthrough (without a guide).
And how on earth was the Water Temple in MM more annoying than in OoT? Yes, the Water Temple in MM is annoying, but I remember spending hours in OoT before I finally broke down and consulted a guide for the Water Temple. The boss, while easier, was far more annoying in OoT. The Water Temple doesn't have nearly as much backtracking in MM, it's semi-logically structured, and you get to be Zora Link, which makes moving through the water far faster and more simple than waiting..... very..... patiently..... for links boots to sink him to the bottom or to take them off and rise to the top. *dies* Ok, my rant is over, we're all entitled to our own opinion.
OoT, although I really do like MM as well, I have more fond memories and more playtime with OoT. =)

Many thanks Christmas!
Horniest Member, 2007! Gimme a little unf unf!
I much prefer the personal level on which Majora's Mask plays than OoT's epic scope, which just comes off as business as usual. Resolving the individual conflicts of the intertwining lives of a world's worth of endearing characters is more engaging to me than plundering a series of themed dungeons for some ornamental plot items.
I get more out of reuniting Kafei and Anju than playing savior to all of Hyrule for the nth time.
Majora's Mask.
I liked it n_n
but my faveorite Zelda still stands with Windwaker.
Anyone who chooses Ocarina of Time over Majora's Mask is a horrible moron, for obvious reasons.
Well I guess I'm a horrible moron that enjoyed a better game then.
Good thing you're not important in the world of game design or we'd all be doomed to bland repetition.
I would inovate the exploding barrel. It would actually implode.
It's been done.
Then I have nothing.
OoT. Having to restart the three days over and over was pure annoying, even though you get to be a zoron. Also, I much prefered the saving everywhere type of story. And plus, you cant mess with the triforce, its pure awesomeness.
It looks like the ground had a sex change.
Uhm.
You're saving an entire world from being destroyed.
BY THE MOON.
I fail to see how that isn't saving everywhere.
