The Great Discussion... MM vs. OoT!!!!

[Milo Rambaldi]

Discuss which game is better here. However, there is one rule.

1. You will be warned for uttering vile language if you say Ocarina of Time is Better than Majora's Mask... :D

Thanks,
Milo

[BunniesGoneBad]

yeah wtg milo woot woot

Majora's Mask is awesome but (yeah...) i think OoT was the big footprint in zelda history...i think i'll vote for MM cause it was my first :^:

*picks up gauntlet and doublesmacks Milo in the face with it*

Ocarina of Time is better than Majora's Mask. (You can't warn me. :tease:)

Ocarina of Time was just the more epic game both in its storyline and what it accomplished in terms of gameplay. MM owes so much to OoT.

That aside, I conceed that MM's storyline is much more involved that OoT's. Your quest in intertwined with the lives of all these NPCs, and you have to solve their problems. Thing is, I don't really like being everyones b*tch in this way. I'd find it much more tolerable without the stupid time limit too, though that is a necessary plot gimmick.

I find it annoying because I want to solve puzzles and do dungeon stuff. MM has, what?, 4 dungeons? Screw Anju and Jailbait. Show me the ninjas. I want to do the high questing stuff and save the world.

Along the same lines, you really lack freedom of exploration in MM. I like to fool around and wander a lot. And because I like finding stuff on my own, I really hate having to buy maps. I also hate running out of time.

[BunniesGoneBad]

haha MM introduced me to tingle...and that came with a strip-tease...

but you do hav e some good points there inle. MM wasn't as free BUT i did find that the game was "easily glitchable" while OoT, the biggest glitch you could do was seam walk and swordless link.

for fun, i would say MM but for story i would definetly say OoT

[Aryll]

Well, I like MM. It has speacial features like the Bomber's Notebook and all of its wonderful side-questyness. I like being able to watch everyone's lives to see how Clocktown ticks (pun intended, lol) and discover how their lives are intertwined. It also has those wicked sweet tranformation masks! :love: I love swimmin, rolling, and being friggin sweet Oni-Link!

But, the game can become repetitive, and I don't like the method of saving. It's kind of annoying, and so is the fact that you lose all of your items going back to day 1.

Ocarina of Time, however, has more of an epic feel. You go through 3 dungeons as a kid and then go through 7 more! :woohoo: I love those temples and the fact that you beomce adult. Also, as I said in the other thread, it was the first game I played, so I can still remember that magical feeling of watching the Great Deku Tree speak to Navi and knowing a great legend was unfolding. *sob* lol. :rolleyes:

[BigDaddy]

I have to go with Ocarina of Time. It was my first Zelda game, and I think it was overall more epic than Majora's Mask. Both are great games, but OoT just has that aura about it that puts it a step ahead of all the other games.

[BunniesGoneBad]

omg MM is losing!!!!! x_x

yeah OoT was super awesome and epic and such, but i found that after you play it more and you remember everything it gets boring...

and with MM you could do the mask quests, the kafei/anju thang, and try to find all the heart pieces (i missed one :cry:)

yeah MM all the way dont make me debate with all you!

[Milo Rambaldi]

:D I will remove all warnings Milo gives under this false rule.

NOOOOOOOO!!!

Oh, well...

Majora's Was just more fun and more personal. Ocarina of Time was just dungeon-place-dungeon. Majora's Mask was Dungeon-Quest-Fun-Other Stuff-Dungeon...

And besides, the final battle Kicked Royal @$$! :D

That is all.

[Aryll]

Milo:
And besides, the final battle Kicked Royal @$$!

Ya, fighting Majora was pretty sweet, especially as Oni-Link. I also liked Ganon's Tower collapsing and another fight with him.

[Twilight]

The final battle actually had difficulty in it.

While I do admit both were damn good, Each has their own qualities. OOT, come on...look at it. First Zelda on Nintendo 64. MM, so much interactivity.

They each have their downsides too. OOT wasn't hard. Except for the Water temple, gtfo.

MM on the other hand, was pretty intense. The final boss was actually pretty tough. Plus, Masks = party.

I'm abstaining this one because both are damn good.

[BunniesGoneBad]

*chants for MM*

the masks were hilarious! i would dance for people and umm...hehe...i would also do other things to people with the mask that isn't acceptable on GW

[Milo Rambaldi]

This could end up being a poll editing battle... :P

Majora's Mask was more interactive, with more to do. There's nothing in Ocarina of Time that could compare. (Inle, do that comparitive chart that you use to compare the extra things to do between OoT and TP)

[Nicholas]

MM is better. There is a mix of humor in it. Like the Juggling Brothers, and the Link/Goron named Link with room thing was funny.

I liked the final battle as well.

I STILL can't believe no one has guessed what my MM puzzle is, it's so obvious!!!!!!

[Inlé_rah]

This could end up being a poll editing battle... :P

Majora's Mask was more interactive, with more to do. There's nothing in Ocarina of Time that could compare. (Inle, do that comparitive chart that you use to compare the extra things to do between OoT and TP)
Chart...oh I know what you're talking about. I really don't have time. I have a paper due at midnight and two more due Tues. I'm being a bad procrastinator right now.

This chart was basically making fun of TP as a bit of an OoT -greatest game evar btw- clone. MM being much more a crappysidequest based game, you're going for a pretty stacked comparison if that's your only measure. It shouldn't be.

And I'm certainly not doing it for you. :tease:

[Milo Rambaldi]

Damn, too complicated in the coding to even TRY editing the MM equivalent in...

[Dynomite]

I like OOT better than MM for the following reasons. OOT was the first Zelda to be 3D. It looked absolutely amazing when I first played it, and that feeling wasn't there when I played MM. And there were tons of little things that annoyed me in MM, like Tingle, and the fact that you lost your rupees when you went back in time. I always forgot to store them. The masks were nice, but other than an hour or two of goofing off in them, most of them really didn't have a purpose. I also like OOT's sprawling world. MM always felt confined. And Adult Link is in OOT, that's a plus.

Anyway, it is really these subtle things that make OOT better than MM for me. MM was still a great game, probably one of my top ten of all time, but OOT was better.

[Inlé_rah]

Damn, too complicated in the coding to even TRY editing the MM equivalent in...
Too complicated in the coding but not the content? :tease:

And I thought you were going to stack it full of annoying sidequests such as reuniting Anju and jailbait. You disappoint me.

[Twilight]

Inlé...Coding period is easy. :P

Milo, I agree MM was more interactive. I want someone to show me somewere in Ocarina where you could scare off a dog by turning into a big fat brown guy. 'Nuff Said.

[BunniesGoneBad]

[QUOTE=DynoMite]And Adult Link is in OOT, that's a plus. [QUOTE]

yeah he's hot :link:

ah that was supposed to quote lol

and also, zora link was hot too
i'm not afraid to say it :P

[Aryll]

You know, I agree. Zora Link is a hottie. :love:

[Milo Rambaldi]

yeah he's hot :link:

Eh... I'd say that topless Linkn in TP was better... :P

[Nicholas]

OH NO! POLL EDITING!! LOL!

[BunniesGoneBad]

sorry inle :D

lol poll editing? why, that's just absurd! truly bizarre. rhahahrahrharhah (yeah)

[dal1472]

dang its hard to decide but I thought the adult link in OoT was bad looking I mean lok at his face its like looking at a pig. But I think if they could mix both games that would make a king. Im going with MM becase I mean come on let me number the things
1. can turn into a goron, zora, decu scrub
2. fierce deity link, huge link
3. side quest (granted the big goron blade was fun)
4. battle with majora :cool2:
if you want more I will give it to ya

[Nicholas]

LOL, yup, rub it in Inle's face man, keep it comin lol!

[BunniesGoneBad]

adult link in OoT was bad looking I mean lok at his face its like looking at a pig.

EXCUSE ME??????!?!?!?!?!?!

and yeah combining OoT and MM would be the biggest and best zelda game known in exsistence. i had a dream where i worked with nintendo and got to think of a new zelda game. too bad it was all a dream or i could make the darn game :D

[Secret Sheik]

1. You will be warned for uttering vile language if you say Ocarina of Time is Better than Majora's Mask... :D
You can't warn me either.

OOT > MM

Time constraints are awful. Plus I like the go anywhere you please atmosphere of OOT. Open-endedness is a huge plus with me.

[God's Bounty Hunter]

I was just about to start a thread about this, but I like OOT better because it got annoying to beat the bosses over and over again in MM, and then having to get more bombs and arrows and all that after saving.

[dal1472]

Ok you didn't git the piont now I well renember all the thing you have
1. Gladed edge
2. fairy sword
3. weird looking mirror shield but still cool
4. can make a clone of your self

now if I didn't get you there I still have tons

[Secret Sheik]

I like making clones. I can stay at home when I'm outta town. :D

[dal1472]

yes I do too. I think that I may just start a MM forum. thing is one fal with the link statue is the face its like looking at a freaken butt.:dead:

[REDXI]

OoT! And I think its not even a contest! OoT had 1 major factor that MM didnt. OoT was EPIC. By epic I mean more emotionally involved. The settings were better, the music was better, Old link kicked ass, It was the first 3D zelda and it totally reinvented the series aswell as let it stick to its roots. The fight against good and evil was well played and thought out. OoT was and still is flawless. truly an amazing game in every aspect.

End.

[dal1472]

you don't get it do you, thats it Pm me if you want a list of all the things, im done no one gives a crap. yes it was an epic but if you read the "how many games have beaten" forum I finished the fastest while doing side quest it is a real easy game to do. but majora's mask you do'nt get the same resaults it's hard to finish, But you know something I never got help and Im in a world of hurt. Oot you don't need a walk through it is vairly easy to beat. (nice speech though I thought you were ackting like some one famuse).

[BunniesGoneBad]

and in MM the second and third time you beat the game, it's different :^:

aww and you can pwn n00bs with FD link

[PWNDœ]

Ocarina of Time is Better than Majora's Mask

[Milo Rambaldi]

Ocarina of Time is Better than Majora's Mask

:twitch:

Warned...

[User]

I get very torn between OoT, MM and LttP being best evers. I think MM had more fun value to it, a bit more humour and the whole plenty to do type sidequest things was just so much more fun, especially goron rolling! I think OoT was good, but being as it was hailed so much when it came out it just seems to be fulfilling its reputation type thing, like everyone said it was good so everyone thinks it is. MM was just...good. I like the time aspect and stuff, the different things, being able to redo temples(though lack of temples wasn't so cool) but all in all it was like what OoT was but improved! I think I'm gonna vote for it.

[Milo Rambaldi]

Make sure you vote for the right spot above... :rolleyes: It's been changing lately... By whom, no idea... :paranoid:

[God's Bounty Hunter]

looks like OOT is winning, GO OOT!

[Nicholas]

That's because Inle is a sore loser and can't accept that Majora is better :P

[REDXI]

He doesnt need to accept it! MM is a decent game and nothing more. OoT is the TRUE zelda game out of the 2. That alone makes it better then MM.

[Dynomite]

wOOT

Sorry I had to do that.

The N64 was great to Zelda games. MM and OOT are great, but OOT is far superior.

[God's Bounty Hunter]

high five my brother, hey knight I thought you could only vote once on the poll?

[Milo Rambaldi]

Wow, and Now Majora's Mask seems to be winning! :P

[God's Bounty Hunter]

Darn you mods.

[Inlé_rah]

Make sure you vote for the right spot above... :rolleyes: It's been changing lately... By whom, no idea... :paranoid:
Oh so this finally went to the next level (by which I mean result editing as well as choice editing). :whatever:

I'll just wait until you're offline to fix things. Because I can see you.

That's because Inle is a sore loser and can't accept that Majora is better Partially true. The gaming press and all the internets agree with me that OoT is like Mary Poppins - "practically perfect in every way". But I am a sore loser.

wOOTYes indeed.

[Milo Rambaldi]

I'll just wait until you're offline to fix things. Because I can see you.

Hmm for some reason I never saw this thread I need better glasses.
To me they are much like the same to me but OOT was more fun and challenging . While MM had sidequests masks, the rigged FD mask. I never like the 3 days mainly when im in the fields near the end of the day it getts smaller and smaller. and waiting to fight MM takes a while too after you played the max forwarding time. TO me they are the same but OOT is a bit better then MM.

1. You will be warned for uttering vile language if you say Ocarina of Time is Better than Majora's Mask
Milo
I dare you. And by the way keep the foolish one in the poll and leave the ones saying Majora's Mask and add Ocarina of Time.

[Bandicoot]

I've not really given this thread much time, but I'm gonna post, read and maybe edit.

Firstly though, I can't help but shake the feeling that someone edited the poll. lol.

Anyway, OoT, with reason, is generally considered one of the best video games EVER, and there hasn't really been a follow up to THAT game until Twilight Princess. OoT is vast. I remember first getting into Hyrule Field, and being blown away by it. The lifespan of the game is great and quite frankly, OoT deserves to be one of prehaps 2 or 3 games that EVERY SINGLE N64 owner should have.

MM, on the other hand, is my fave of the two. Some of the puzzles are trickier, and the bombers handbook is the best sidequest of either game.
And then, you have the groundhog day aspect of it. It could take you the full 72 hours to work out where the next dungeon is and how to actually enter the dungeon, or you may end up with 12 hours left, tossing up between getting the last two fairy pieces and hotfooting it to the great fairy, or killing the boss and getting the next mask.

Yeah, guess what - can't be bothered to edit, lol.

Tell a lie: EDIT: Knight Football... I'm not sure you're making friends, but you do seem to be spamming the thread a bit.

[BigDaddy]

Wow, I wasn't aware that Hawkju had so many fans, especially since he's been gone for five years or so. I can imagine a large Hawkju cult simultaneously committing suicide while uttering their final words, "i dun no... lol."

Calling me out never contributed to this thread in the first place. I'd let it slide because lots of people have been commenting on the poll edit war, (though most of them have been doing it in larger posts that then address the thread subject). Your two extra posts are completely pointless however, and you should have known better. That's a warning for SPAM.

If people want to make comments on whatever the latest stupidity done to the poll is, that is fine. But everyone please keep on topic. This thread is about how much better OoT is than MM and why.

[Milo Rambaldi]

Wabbit is not equal to bunny...

Yes, but Majora's Mask is so the better game, Inle... You just don't want to admit it... :P

[Nicholas]

Thanks for the bunny Milo!

[Kashla]

Inle has shown her greatness here today by saying the following:

This thread is about how much better OoT is than MM and why.

For this great bravery and obvious brains at being able to distinguish the great OoT from the abysmal MM, Inle will recieve the following:
1. A thank you from me.
2. Several thousand controllers, but no system to use them on.
3. Another thank you from me (lucky her!)

Give her a hand folks!

(btw, thank you thank you).

[Nicholas]

I won't give her a hand until she accepts that MM is better.

Who the hell is hawkju??

[Milo Rambaldi]

*Requests that Kashla be banned*

Majora's Mask is far superior. With more puzzles and longer Dungeons, alongside the ability to kill the bosses over again, and sometimes needing to makes it the better game hands down. With a mass amount of side-quests, some required, and some optional, it easily beats Ocarina of Time's small array of sidequests and extra activities. (Plus, you're just GIVEN the double magic meter in OoT... You have to work for it in MM)

[REDXI]

Sidequests dont make a zelda game. What makes a good zelda game is the story, chars, graphics, environments, gameplay, and music. And OoT wins in all these departments.


I win. :D

[BunniesGoneBad]

oh geez i can't believe this is still going... lets just leave it the MM wins, OoT is second, and whatever else is after that is third. now move along

[Milo Rambaldi]

Here's my response to your requirements:

Story
I won't give you that. One is to rescue a town and prevent the moon from destroying the world. OoT simply has "Rescue the princess and land".

Characters
I will NOT give you that! You were much more involved with these characters, you got to know them, and got to see their life. They also did things, unlike in OoT.

Graphics
Majora's Mask's were better, and that's an actual fact. It's not opinion, they were better, says several different sources.

Environments
You mean like "Place" environments? If so, Majora's Mask had a great variety. OoT had none. If you meant like "Setting/tone" environments, I might OoT that, since it was a bit more cheery.

Gameplay
Hardly. Majora's Mask had superior game play. Epona rode faster, the enemies were more difficult, and it was just much smoother in general.

Music
Majora's Mask did have some pretty good music, like in the observatory, inside the clock tower, or in the Milk Bar. We also saw some older music from other games. This game also had some powerful music (Sounds corny, I know.)

---------------------
The dungeons in OoT weren't any fun either, and the only boss I enjoyed was Twinrova. The others, I was glad to be rid of them. In Majora's Mask, they were all fun, especially when you had the Fierce Deity Mask... :P

[Bandicoot]

Who the hell is hawkju??

LMAO!

anyway, oot= the critically acclaimed "best game ever"

MM seems to be as favoured a game.

not that they bashed MM out in half the time - still a good game:P

[Secret Sheik]

This is turning into a spam thread, who all here agrees that this should be closed once and for all?

[Milo Rambaldi]

I don't, but if you feel that strongly, why not move it into the game section so that way posts won't count?

[Secret Sheik]

Well, technically this isn't a forum game... but yes, if you intend to spamminate, then it shall be moved.

[Inlé_rah]

I won't give you that. One is to rescue a town and prevent the moon from destroying the world. OoT simply has "Rescue the princess and land".
They both boil down to a saving the world plot. Typical plot, no denying. One just has the key world destruction element stolen from FF7. Minus the long-haired pretty-boy with the mother fixation. And the "let's go to the moon" thing stolen from FFIV. :^:

I will NOT give you that! You were much more involved with these characters, you got to know them, and got to see their life. They also did things, unlike in OoT.
I'd still prefer to spend my time saving the world than solving their petty little problems.

Majora's Mask's were better, and that's an actual fact. It's not opinion, they were better, says several different sources.
This is actually true, and I would hope so because it is the most recent game, but I'm not going to give MM much credit for this considering all the character models borrowed from OoT.

Hardly. Majora's Mask had superior game play. Epona rode faster, the enemies were more difficult, and it was just much smoother in general.
Upgraded =/ superior. It was treeked. It wouldn't be awesome in the first place w/o OoT. And that side jump thing still bothers me.

Majora's Mask did have some pretty good music, like in the observatory, inside the clock tower, or in the Milk Bar. We also saw some older music from other games. This game also had some powerful music (Sounds corny, I know.)
MM has the worst in-game rendition of the classic Zelda overworld theme.

Gerudo Fortress. Saria's Song/ Lost Woods. The Bolero of Fire. Twinrova's fight music.

The dungeons in OoT weren't any fun either, and the only boss I enjoyed was Twinrova. The others, I was glad to be rid of them. In Majora's Mask, they were all fun, especially when you had the Fierce Deity Mask... :PTwinrova was fun. So were Bongo Bongo, Barinade, Phantom Ganon, to name my other fav's.

Also - Dark Link.

Also also - The final fight against Ganon is an incredibly awesome (visually, and musically - and they even managed to leave the chorus at home) final battle even if it is not hard.

I don't, but if you feel that strongly, why not move it into the game section so that way posts won't count?
Not fair to those who have made serious discursive posts. I'm moving it back.

I'm also editting the poll to the 2 legit options and calling for a ceasefire on that. No result editting either. Might merge a new poll in and make it public. As amusing as this was, it is leading to too much off-topicness.

Any off topic posts not related to which game is better and why will earn a SPAM warning. This includes "Inlé just won't admit she's wrong" or "Milo, give it up, already." This is about the games.

And Hawkju was a mod of the OoT forum from ages and ages past.

Ok. new poll up. Go vote! :)

[Kashla]

And of course Milo's favorite Zelda game is being trounced. Why some ask? It is simple:

1. While the grapics are pactically identical, OoT gets the point for doing it fist, and no improvement when MM came out.

2. Same story in essentials. People run around, screaming "omg, I'm gonna die if some little kid doesn't come save t world". OoT gets th point for a more traditional version.

3. Characters aren't that big of a deal, as reallonly a few ever really matter. No points awarded (Though I am tempted to give a point to OoT for Malon's singing of Epona's Song).

[Milo Rambaldi]

Same story in essentials. People run around, screaming "omg, I'm gonna die if some little kid doesn't come save t world". OoT gets th point for a more traditional version.

So you're giving points to a game that was "So new", that it had to copy the storyline from another game? At least in Majora's Mask, it was original...

While the grapics are pactically identical, OoT gets the point for doing it fist, and no improvement when MM came out.

Why change the graphics of a direct sequal? The oracles were meant to be sequals, and their graphics weren't different. All the other games just fell somewhere in there. MM was SUPPOSED to come after OoT...

Characters aren't that big of a deal, as reallonly a few ever really matter. No points awarded (Though I am tempted to give a point to OoT for Malon's singing of Epona's Song).

I can't say much on this one, because it does truly depend on the person. I personally like a lot of interaction, and not as much fighting, but others are the opposite. I found that Majora's Mask had an equal balance of what I like. OoT would be better for those who like to fight more....

------------------
Well, I guess I can look at this more carefully... I'll be playing both games this week... :D (I do enjoy OoT, just not as much as MM...)

[M.E.R.255]

Oot and MM are the same good in my eyes. Oot Is a classic and has more temples, but MM has harder temples and you can collect a lot of useful stuff, too (what I really do like). That's why I think both are the same good.

[God's Bounty Hunter]

I like the fighting more, and that's another reason I like OOT better.

[Nicholas]

MM is better!!!!!!!! ACCEPT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU EVEN GET TO RIDE ON THE BACK OF A GIANT TURTLE!!! WHO DOESN'T WAN'T TO RIDE ON THE BACK OF A GIANT TURTLE?!?!

I'm done now...

[God's Bounty Hunter]

I don't want to ride a turtle, I want to ride a killer whale. besides OOT is better, the poll say's so, mods can't mess with it anymore.

[Milo Rambaldi]

The polls may not be entirely accurate...

Actually, Inle, may I (Or you/zelda) edit it to include a "I like them equally" option?

And yes, the turtle bit is rather fun... I just merely found that there was so much more to do once you had beaten the game's boss the first time around....

[Inlé_rah]

The polls may not be entirely accurate...
De Nile may not be just a river in Egypt.

Actually, Inle, may I (Or you/zelda) edit it to include a "I like them equally" option?Added it. Was temped to call it "Lousy fence-sitter option".

And yes, the turtle bit is rather fun... I just merely found that there was so much more to do once you had beaten the game's boss the first time around....
I guess. I just really like all of OoT's dungeons. Even the dreaded water temple is second nature to me. I haven't played MM in a while because I was never all that impressed with it. I hardly remember how to do anything in that game.

hmm. the water temple was the only thing that made me mad about OoT. but i must say, OoT's temples were better created, but i just found the bosses were sometimes a little bit too easy. with MM the temples were almost too puzzly for me. i got stuck so much in the stone and snowhead temples. but the bosses were new, and you got to be a new creature for every fight (or else you'd die)

i think they are both great games :D

and the turtle pwned the noobz :^:

Hey, give some credit to the guys who made MM. Great story plot, and a neat final boss. The most entertaining parts?

Link Goron room afair...

Happy Mask Man...

Control time...

and last, but simply not least...

MAJORA'S INCARNATION LOL!! :D

I can't say much on this one, because it does truly depend on the person. I personally like a lot of interaction, and not as much fighting, but others are the opposite. I found that Majora's Mask had an equal balance of what I like. OoT would be better for those who like to fight more....
Milo, I think you'd like RPGs more than Zelda games (action/adventure) if you love interaction with lots of NPCs you'll never see again.

For me, MM wins. I really love all the sidequests and details of peoples' characters you can find in it, and I also find it more fun... If I've got some time to waste on my N64, I'm way more likely to play through the Kafei and Anju quest or go Goron racing after defeating Goht than to fire up OoT. MM's more emotional to me, and the story really hits home with how it's actual people you're saving - you're not just going off to some big castle that's pretty much removed from the townsfolk's everyday lives, you're literally stopping everyone from dying, from the swordsman who's crying in the back of his shop, to the postman who's pleading with himself to leave but feels too tied to his schedule to escape, to the little girl who's getting her first taste of Chateau Romani because her sister knows this is probably the last chance she'll get...

What, Shigsy? He's still the supremeo when it comes to all things Zelda. I know that he was executive producer on both games, probably designed half of OoT, and besides Miyamoto, a lot of the main design team probably stayed on. I mean, OoT took 3 years to make, and 18 months after it's release, MM rolled out. They probably didn't even have to renew their contracts, lol.

[Milo Rambaldi]

I agree with what Showsni said. The game is a lot more personal. You're not just running around trying to save a land that will be put into an evil time, you're trying to prevent people from dying. You also get to know the characters a little more, and a lot of the sidequests are fun. It has more storyline to it, and just more detailed in general.

Once again, I absolutely loved OoT, I just like MM more... :P

[k-van]

I like mm because i never played oot before

[Bandicoot]

*gasp*

Now, I'm more of an MM guy than an OOT guy if push came to shove, but you MUST! PLAY! OCARINA! OF! TIME!!!!

There's a reason why, two computer generations later, OoT is still considered one of the best video games ever made ever.

[Milo Rambaldi]

I agree, OoT is a MUST PLAY game! It's absolutely fantastic, and is one of my favorite games of all time! However... I simply find that Majora's Mask was more exciting and interesting.

[k-van]

i cant find oot anywhere for one thing and for another, i dont have money

[Secret Sheik]

Well if you can scrounge up the money, try Ebay or a local CD pawn shop. You'd be surprised what you can find.

I know I've seen the Zelda Collector's Edition Disk for Gamecube around, and that has both MM and OoT. The game really does look better on the GCN, (despite some stupid changes they made i.e. Mirror Shield design), because the N64's hardware is meh.

If you have a Wii, you can buy it on Virtual Console for $10, and I think that's the N64 version (likely 1.2).

[StarAura7]

Ocarina of Time has an epic story. Majora's Mask has a deep story. I like both types of storylines, so I'm neutral here.
