Ocarina Of Time vs. Majora's Mask

I only played OOT.
I mostly only see anyone referring to that one too.

Ocarina!

OoT is the gold standard, whereas MM is the best "experimental" title in an established Nintendo franchise ever. Majora is a close second as my favorite game.

OoT was revolutionary when it came out, but MM trumps it in every way possible.

I've recently read an interesting study about Zelda, Zelda players and their preferences.
There was a lot of data. About your question: when they had to put Zelda games in order of preference and decide which is the best, it came down to which game they played first.

That's such a difficult question, they're both so different, yet so similar. o_O

Personally, I liked and still like Majora's Mask more and I played Ocarina of Time before Majora's Mask.

I bought them both at the same time and played OoT first because I read that Majora's Mask was it's sequel.

They're both such awesome games, even to this day and I visit them every few years and play them through, either on my N64, my PC or on my PSP, which is really fun because I can play them in the waiting rooms of my various doctors that I have to visit on a weekly basis.

So yeah, I'm going to say that IMHO, Majora's Mask is the superior game, it was darker, felt like there was a lot more on the line with the world being destroyed and all. Overall it just had a way more ominous tone to it that I really liked and hadn't seen in a previous Zelda game.

I never owned a Gameboy myself, so the only Zelda games I'd played prior to OoT were The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventures of Link. Zelda II also holds a very special place in my heart, it was the first NES game that I ever owned, I got it along with my NES on Christmas in 1988, I was 7 years old.

I spent MANY hours each day after Christmas playing that game. It was and still is a great game. I honestly don't understand all the hate it gets. Yes, it's different from the first game.

Honestly, who want's a sequel that's just like the first game? Doesn't look too hard and MM lol Doesn't count >_<

I've only played OOT, so that's my pick I guess. I hope they remake MM for the 3DS or the WiiU.

There is no denying the innovation that OOT brought to gaming, but as a game overall, i feel they set the bar higher with MM.

i like OOT and MM for different reasons, because they play a bit differently to me.

in OOT, there is basically just this huge quest that you go through, and it's mostly a streamlined experience with not that much to do on the side. when i want to play a huge epic story from beginning to end i would generally turn to this game.

MM mask however is (IMHO) a bit smaller in the main quest scale, but there is so much more to do on the side. there is no need to collect all the mask on the side, but it is none the less a very fun activity. i would play this if you're more into a story with lots of stuff to do on the side :)

OoT was awesome, I've played it through even on my phone... I like it more, because MM is so dark and sad. All dem feels.. ;-; You know, when OoT being about saving the world, MM is the same, but is ALL about death. Just death in different stages. I still like it in it's own way, but OoT is better. Here's a small video about what I'm talking about, very interesting. :) Clicky for an awesome theory

OOT, because MM's moon hunts me till this day.

I like both equally. Masterpieces.

Ocarina of Time but both are great

The ocrarina of time might be better for beginners. It will explain everything for every of them. It will also work as a tutorial of some sort: The first dungeons are easier. The MM has a great story, but it's a little less.
OoT:

• More Dungeons, introduction
• More items and weapons
• It's get very hard after time
  MM:
• Amazing Story
• Creppy atmosphere
• Epic Animations ( Especially Link's jumps :D )
• The masks
• Less items
• Only 4 dungeons (Oot has 8)
• Backtracking.
  Personally i love both of them :)

I tried to play MM but i didn´t enjoy redoing stuff because i run out of time.

I played ocarina as my first zelda game. Had seen a friends brother and his mother play it together years before. after Ocarina I figured I'd try MM but the timelimit and redoing of days just isn't my thing. So I ended up just cheating through the game with the emulator and that kinda ruined it. I don't have the patience. Probably also didn't help I had no clue where to go.

Loved both of them, though I could never beat Majora's Mask because it used to scare the crap out of me.

I Love them both. I vote very close for MM, it's a kind of playable Version of Grundhog Day which is very unique, probably the Best Game I ever played , and OoT Could be on 2nd Place.

I put them about equal

I would rate MM higher than OOT.. but MM has the worst water temple(OOT' water temple is easy, I never understood the complaints about it)

either way I would buy a MM remake if one ever came out

Majora's all day baby

OOT. It's just so... awesome. The music, the story, quests, the little side activities and games (the fishing especially), it's all just so cool. MM is a great game as well I'm sure, but I could never make it past the first temple xD

I love both of them but MM is my favorite. Haven't played either of them since their release. I wanted to buy a copy of MM factory sealed and graded along with a few other n64 games but damn they're expensive.

I have a MM tattoo. So, clearly OoT is the best.

I always hated Majora's Mask. Which is too bad, really. I always wanted to get into it but I just couldn't.

Majoras for me, i liked the darker theme
