It's hard to compare OoT and TP, because I played them first at a very different point in my life. Overall, I think OoT has a more imaginative Hyrule, a memorable soundtrack, and a better story. TP has better mechanics and gameplay, although I am not a big fan of the light/dark World gimmick. They are still extremely similar games.

And, of course, OoT was extremely ground breaking back in the day, but that's not relevant when comparing their merits today.

Zelda snobs tend to say Majora's was the better game anyway.

And Windwaker is a perfect game in every way, of course, even in the ways it isn't.

Majora's Mask does definitely offer a less-traditional Zelda experience. Its uniqueness scores it quite a few points. I do wish it had more dungeons.

I tried to replay Wind Waker when the HD version came out. Good lord that game can be a slog. Too much sailing over empty ocean.

Yeah, that and the sunk treasures were a bit eh. But again, refer to my previous statement about WW. All the other positives vastly outweight those two things. Plus, you can get the ballad of gales reasonably soon.

Ocarina of Time is vastly overrated. I've played Twilight Princess, and that is basically what OoT is, except OoT was worse (for being a predecessor, less ideas, mechanics, etc). It was an innovative game for its time, but come on, let's not kid ourselves, it's not that fantastic of a game today.

it's amazing how many of your opinions are just wrong

Opinions can't be 'wrong'. It's not that I want to hate the game 'just because' it's hip to be a dissenter. Heck, Zelda games are awesome. I'd love to enjoy OoT. I didn't get any enjoyment from playing it. Perhaps that is simply from hearing how amazing it was from literally everyone on the planet.

I think Ocarina of Time is better than Twilight Princess by a lot of metrics, but worse by some. They're both good games. It was fun replaying them both recently, on 3DS and WiiU respectively.

I bought OoT for the 3DS, and I was bored out of my mind playing it. Is that normal? Is it boring in the beginning?

btw, Link to the Past is my favorite in the series.

Ocarina of Time is a little slow to start. Not nearly as slow as Twilight Princess, though. How far did you get?

That's why it's so amazing.

I think I got to the first boss, the thing in that cave. After that, I never had a chance to continue OoT due to personal reasons. This was like a year ago. I would continue playing if I could, but that was my initial impressions.

I was kind of idly clicking through recent posts and, not realizing this was the random stuff thread, thought "what the heck is he talking about getting to the first boss in dominion?".

Majora's Mask is one of the best games I've ever played. It's short, sweet, and packed with optional content that fleshes out the world. Every playthrough reveals something new. I love games that cram lots of detail in a small area!

Also: Zora!Link has the best swimming controls in any 3D game. I understand that they changed it in the 3DS version, which fills me with sadness.

Ah, I see we're STILL talking about Zelda after all.

[Lekkit]

Here's my opinion. The only Zelda game I've really enjoyed is The Adventure of Link.

[Kirian]

I have never played a Zelda game.

[Kuildeous]

I have never played a Zelda game.

It's pretty neat. Zelda can throw swords. As you progress, Zelda can start picking up and using bombs, boomerangs, and bows.

Zelda is a badass in combat.

Cue: Nerd rage

Let me explain, for f.ds meta meme cred.

Zelda isn't the main playable character.

Am I the only one old enough to have watched the animated series when it was airing?

[silverspawn]

yes

[gkrieg13]

What is an animated series and what is "airing"?

[Roadrunner7671]

What's a good simile for Pearl Diver?

Not necessarily the card, it could be about actual pearl divers in real life.

[Kirian]

Am I the only one old enough to have watched the animated series when it was airing?

You mean during the "Super Mario Brothers Super Show?"

No, you are not.

Man, we would watch *any* bullshit they made into a cartoon when we were kids, wouldn't we?

[Kuildeous]

Am I the only one old enough to have watched the animated series when it was airing?

I would have been old enough, but I didn't watch it.

I did watch the Pac-Man cartoon. Kirian's right; they made crap on anything.

At least it was followed by Saved by the Bell which was pure awesome.

[ConMan]

For some reason, I can never remember seeing an episode of the Zelda cartoon, despite watching plenty of the SMBSS - I have plenty of memories of seeing the *previews* for the Zelda episodes and seeing the Mario cartoons, but not the Zelda episodes themselves.

Also, Oracle of Seasons/Ages.

this is not a quality unique to any generation. for example, probably more than half of games on steam would demonstrate this point
