Uh..no. I meant "crazy ****fest" in a positive way :)

Naa, Majora's Mask, while shorter, has a lot more attention to detail and concentrates on the characters while Ocarina doesn't as much. I have to say it's a close call, along with all the 3D games because i enjoyed them all massively, but the dark, narrative feel MM took for all the perspectives kind of pips it for me, if nothing from an artistic point of view.

I actually really enjoyed obtaining all the masks and MM is one of the few games I actually bothered to complete 100%

You make all valid points though, especially the darker feel to the game.

It's a stupidly hard call which i think the N64 games have the best argument for.

Id would have to disagree in saying Oot was a hell of a dark game. The music especially made sure of that since the very beginning when your going crazy in the never ending woods. Although I never 100%'ed MM so maybe I missed something.

I don't think I would have thought that about the original trailer. I think I would've thought it looked like a generic 3D game.

Wind Waker doesn't look like a game for toddlers at all to me. It maintains the feel of the original game (which is fairly cutesy), unlike Twilight Princess which looks like it's trying to foist some kind of pseudo-grittiness on a decidedly un-gritty game series.

I loved OoT over MM... I just found it much more engaging. The first time I played it I was quite young so I thought it was really dark and exciting, too. That being said though, like RezZ I never 100%ed MM.

I have never actually played Wind Waker but I've heard good things about it. Any other thoughts?

Agreed, that's why people who hate on cell shaded graphics can go screw themselves.

Sometimes "realistic" isn't better, and The Wind Waker is the best looking Zelda aesthetically, the characters are so expressive and everything animates beautifully, and the designs for everything from the characters to the environments are really inspired and unique. I hope that we'll get another cel shaded Zelda for a home console eventually.

As for OOT vs MM, I'll take the former, partly because I grew up with it and havent played MM until recently.

Despite their similaries, they're quite different, it always seems like whatever one game lacks, the other one has, so they compliment each other beautifully.

OOT has more dungeons and a more fleshed out story campaign, MM has a more original story, more inspired visuals and more sidequests. Gameplay is about equal, MM is just a bit more out there and thus not for all tastes.

Link's on a boat!

But seriously: fun game. Sure it's cute, but that doesn't stop it from being good.
The one Zelda game that always brings me back is Link's Awakening for gameboy. Yeah, it was for gameboy, but it was my first Zelda.

It's kinda like your first album: it may suck, but it's still your first album.


This is kinda off topic(ish) but does anyone play the Elder Scrolls games? Oblivion has gotta be the greatest thing I've ever played. Pure beauty.

Oblivion is awesome. So much to do.
